Why I hate Gmail

Ok, so I don’t really hate Gmail, but I am pretty annoyed right now. Every time I try to send an email, I get an alert saying “An error occurred trying to send the message”.

Conditional page/post navigation links in WordPress (redux)

After more helpful input, I’ve decided to update my original solution. Instead of overriding four WordPress functions and adding two new ones in my functions.php file, I have slimmed it down to just one: /** * If more than one page exists, return TRUE. */ function show_posts_nav() { global $wp_query; return ($wp_query->max_num_pages > 1); } [...]
