While we were pulling a crab pot this huge tanker appeared to be heading out of Kachemak Bay right for us. I’m not whether they turned to avoid us, or they just always leave the bay in a curved path. Either way, it was fun to see a tanker that close, and nice that they didn’t crush us to bits.

Dogfish Head Fort
As a birthday treat Mandi got one of Dogfish Head’s “big” beers, Fort. We’ve tried Theobroma, Sah’tea, and Chateau Jiahu. My favorite is still Theobroma for its crisp and exotic flavor, but Fort sure made an impression. It’s loaded with intense raspberry flavor and has a very high alcohol content. The Dogfish Head website suggests serving it in a snifter, which should have been a clue. Highly recommended…in moderation.
flickpress 1.0
This update just adds some options to the widget, so if you don’t use the widget there’s no need to update. @susansoaps asked how to display images horizontally with the widget, which wasn’t easy to do because the widget was wrapping images in <p> tags. So, the widget now offers options to specify exactly what you want displayed before and after each image. The plugin checks and cleans a few things, but it does NOT check to be sure your tags match or even close properly – check your tags if your site looks broken. Some quick hints:
- For a horizontal row of images, just leave before and after blank. Put a space in after if you want space between your images.
- For a vertical presentation, use <p> before and </p> after or just <br /> after.

OrgPress Theme 0.3
This version fixes a few problems I found with navigation – sometimes I was using the wrong template tags, sometimes I just didn’t have the navigation stuff in the right place. Hopefully it’s all fixed now.
Next, as I noted in the previous post, I think it makes sense to link to fancy author pages whenever possible. So, I added code to the comment function to link to logged-in commenters’ author pages.
In addition to refining the author template a bit, I added some code to display links to Facebook and Twitter if the user has entered those. You’ll need a separate plugin to add those fields to their profile, such as Twitter Profile Field or Profilo.
