OK, so this was something that has been bugging me for a few months now. Obviously, not too bad since I just corrected it today, but let me tell you, it sure was annoying! So for the past couple months, I haven’t been able to log into certain PHP scripts using Safari on my VPS (WordPress was one of the culprits). No error, no “wrong password” message. Just hit login, and BOOM! Back to the login page again.
Maybe like me, you’re lucky enough to be able to use a Mac at work. And maybe you’ve been lucky enough to convince your boss to use some type of IM protocol like Jabber so they don’t have send those two word emails that when you read makes your head go, what the?! Then you fire off a reply only to wait 5 hours to get any type of clarification, giving you only 15 minutes to do a job that you should have had all day to do (well, actually, you still get those emails, but that’s besides the point).
Fear not fellow Netfirms users! I’ve heard your cries and it brings me great joy to release my plugin to enable pretty permalink functionality that the rest of the world seems to enjoy, all without hacking a single line of code! For those of you who can’t wait to get your hands on it, download it here:

OK, so this is mostly for any other users who maybe on Netfirms like me.
For some weird reason, Netfirms does not support “pretty” permalinks in WordPress, despite the fact that they claim to have Apache mod_rewrite enabled (Maybe because AllowOveride isn’t enabled, who knows). That’s why for the last month all of my links have been that crazy, ?p=123 or whatever the heck the post number was. Well, after Netfirms Tech Support was of no help (as usual), I decided to do my own research and hack around a bit. 5 hours later, viola! Pretty permalinks!
Greetings internet slaves! OK, well, not really slaves, but you get the point…
So for the past 8 months or so I’ve been attending a small college and career group at the local church down the street from where I live. It’s been a pretty solid group (well, that is until the 19 year old army took over) and Laure from www.axiomdesignworks.com and myself have decided to get involved and build their website for them so they can finally move into what I like to call, 00 century.
