One handy tip for WordPress users
Just tested it out, and it works:
When inserting links in your posts, especially links to resources on your own blog, you can actually use absolute paths like “/wp-content/uploads/****.anyExtension”. This way if you ever decided to move your blog, say, another hosting, you save yourself tons of time wasted on editing these links.
The only limitations here are:
- It may require your blog to be self-hosted, meaning, it is not using any blog service provided by companies like WordPress.com, yo2.cn (this one is for us, Chinese), cause you probably don’t know how they store your uploaded files.
- On the new serve, you have to upload the files as originally structured on the old one. This requirement is not that hard to meet, I guess, since usually when you move your blog, you would want to make sure it is in almost the same structure for better search engine friendliness.
OK! And that’s it for today !

Hey did you manage to do that Pixelmator tutorial for the 80’s retro effect?
I didn’t manage to get past that step either…
