An outfit I’m putting together for an upcoming event. I got the lace dress for $12 from Target and the shirt that goes under it for $4 from the Goodwill.

Secondly, you want to quickly give access to the users. You can even teach users how to catalog the collections for you so that you do not have to!

I can’t get Relient K’s “Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been” out of my head.

At the fourth grade level, for example, only 5% of African American children are up to standards.

My workbook told me to go ahead and download and install the CCK module. There’s just one little problem: it completely broke my website.

My steps were as follows:

I uploaded the CCK module to my Drupal install and enabled all the options listed under CCK. When I clicked Submit/Save, I got an error 500. So I hit the back button and deselected all the CCK items. Now nearly ALL my administrative tools are gone. I can’t even find the link to put my site back online! This also took out my ability to make new content pages, add/delete modules (there is no longer a link!). I even deleted CCK from my server but still nothing.

Over on the Drupal forums, someone suggested that I “empty the cache tables.” My boyfriend worked with me on this part and in the end the website broke even further. So tomorrow I’m going to delete the whole website and start over again. I’m pretty aggravated.
