Can’t log in to your wordpress admin panel because the login screen refreshes?

I just moved my sites from one server to another last night.  As I have multiple installations of WordPress, I found that I was having trouble logging in to two of my installs.

You see, I would put in my log-in credentials and push the log in button, but the login screen would simply refresh — thereby not allowing me to access my dashboard.

The fix?  I deleted the php.ini file in the root folder where the files of my WordPress install lay.

Worked like a charm!  Now, I can log in!

So, if you have tried everything else — uploading fresh wordpress files, disabling your plugins and resetting your password, this solution might work for you.

Music lightens the soul!

I watched my daughter dance around in her room while singing into her microphone. She loves music as much as I do!

Nothing gets my blood pumping even more during a workout than to listen to music. Anytime I hear a great beat, my feet move and my hips sway. I can’t help it! We were in Best Buy the other day looking at the XBox Kinect. I tried their demo of Dance Central. It was SO fun!

Leisurely reading…

After reading the Secret Garden, on pure impulse, I decided to pick up Stephen King’s latest novel 11/22/63. All I can say is that the novel has me in a tight grip and refuses to let go until I have reached the very last page. I am by no means a Stephen King fan-girl. In fact far from it, as just a few months prior, I tried to get into “Bag of Bones” and found myself unable to immerse myself in the story. Let me tell you, I simply LOVE a great horror novel or who-dun-it mystery! King just didn’t do it for me — until his latest book, that is.

Truth-be-told, I only wanted to read the classics this go ’round but the description of the book intrigued me enough to read a sample of it. The sample had me hooked, so I knew it was a “must have”. If you enjoy a little bit of nostalgic history (and i’m all about nostalgic history), along with a little bit of sci-fi, slight horror and a good story — READ. THIS. BOOK. The Honeywell Barcode Scanners in the world must be going off-the-chain because I cannot imagine that this book sits on a bookstore (or Kindle) shelf for very long!

What I love most about this story is that I am able to get lost in the storyline. I feel like I am truly experiencing 1958 (and beyond) as the character is experiencing it. King’s style in this novel is so clean and the focus of the story stays on track. One of my frustrations of some of his other novels, is that he gets too detail-oriented (so much so that he has a tendency to get off track and tell another story in the middle of the main story) and introduces too many characters too quickly. However, I can definitely say that he doesn’t do that with this novel and if he does– it completely melds with the story and keeps you “in the moment”.

I am normally not a book-review kind of person, but I was so impressed with this novel, that I am actually thinking of perhaps adding his other novels to my reading list. I thought I wrote him off forever (and was kind of sad about it because people seem to love Stephen King) — but now I have new resolve to read his earlier works! :)
