I know some of you are doing this, so take this as a kudos to you and not a criticism. Myself, I try, but I know there are areas where I could improve. Feel free to drop comments below for other ideas of things others (and myself) can do to improve…
I recently moved from Blacksburg, VA where there was a big push for local shopping and local dining (buy local. eat local. be local.). We took that to heart and while living in Blacksburg we dined at local establishments rather than chains (Blacksburg has actually been pretty successful (in the past) at keeping the chains at a distance). We shopped at the Blacksburg Farmer’s Market on weekends and we tried to keep it local for shopping when we could (we’ve been boycotting Wal-mart for years and my wife can claim not to have been in one for at least 5 years while I had to cheat once).

Just had to do it ….
Is it cheating that my twitter updates post weekly?
I just noticed that I had a bunch of missing widgets that were plug-ins. I don’t use that many, but the ones that I do use I like (seems logical). I have been using the automatic upgrade feature in the Plugins panel for some time and have also done a few updates of WordPress automagically (which is such a sweet feature).
What I didn’t know is that I had to re-activate some of those widgets that were either automatically updated or were disabled as part of a WordPress update. Not a huge deal, but I did miss the opportunity to capture some data from readers, update my stats, and some features were disabled (which I didn’t realize).
Word to the wise, after automagically updating WordPress or updating Plugins make sure that those that you use are active.
