Wine: the empty category
![]()
OK, I've blown it. It's been awhile since I've tried to create a category at home, and I forgot that our crack blogware doesn't like my Mac browser. Once you try and fail, as I did with "Wine" at Eric (P.O.G.)'s suggestion, that word seems to be corrupted for good, even if you kill it out and start again with Internet Explorer. That is, I was able to create a Wine category, I just couldn't put any entries in it, which doesn't seem very helpful.
The same thing happened a couple of times early on. That's why...
...for instance, the Barbecue category is spelled "Bar-B-Que."
What I need from you are suggestions for the Wine category label that aren't "Wine." Vino sounds too, well, Italian. Any ideas? Or maybe one of our Web Editors will be able to figure out why "Wine" isn't working. They couldn't with "Barbecue," but that was a year ago.

I'd suggest "whine," which might be what whould get the attention of the Wheb editors?
Or, maybe not...:-)

Maybe "wine and spirits".

..as I did with "Wine" at Alan's suggestion..
Who's Alan?
Alan. You know, Alan. The poster who suggested in some comment that we should have a category for wine, which now, of course, I can't find. (The comment, not the category, although I don't seem to be able to find it either.) EL

Oh, so my suggestion wasn't original then? Just curious...
I don't know what you mean. Who's Alan? :-) Seriously, I'm glad you spoke up. I sometimes can't find the comment any more to check when I think I remember because there are about 50 to 75 a day. EL

Some possibilities:
"By the Glass"
"Private Label"
"Vineyard"
"Grapes"
"Glass Half Full"
"Wine 101"
"Wine List"
"About Wine"

As I have suggested before, this blog sorely needs a search engine to work with user names. Maybe even with cross-references!

I'll save LE the effort. With this (Tribune wide) blogware, we are lucky that comments get posted. The list of it's short comings is about three times the length of what it can actually do. So sad. And imagine the frustration of working with it from the other side (no not that other side.)

Feeling a bit dyslexic today? :-)
Which reminds me of the story of the agnostic dyslexic insomniac, who stayed up all night wondering if there was a dog.

Okay, I confess. I visited another blog (mea culpa) and didn't want to spread my nom de plum (food blog pun). And whilst I am dyslexic, LE is Lady Elizabeth, not Large, Elizabeth.

Whoops, I'd forgotten that one! Sorry for the incorrect correction.

Robert, does Book know?
Posted by: Dahlink | March 14, 2008 6:54 AM
Oh, please. May we not start that one again. I had to start a new book to end the grumbling and snipping. I may never know who killed Col. Mustard. #@!$%&^&$%^*^

I may never know who killed Col. Mustard
It was Professor Peacock, with the Lead Pipe, in the Drawing Room.

I guess if you're not sober, the truth, or some variation of it, comes out. (I clearly did not post this question.)
