Q&A: What’s the best way to hide the date/time on the comments on my WordPress blog?
Question from Keisha P.: I write a fairly popular WordPress blog and I occasionally change the dates on some of my older posts to put them back onto the first page of the blog.
But that’s causing a problem because the comments on those posts still have the old dates/times on them. I’m afraid my readers will notice the old dates and realize that the posts aren’t really new.
I’m using the Genesis framework and Executive Pro child theme on this blog. I know I can remove the code that displays the comments’ date and time from the Genesis module but I’m hoping there’s a better way. Do you know of one?

Q&A: Why can’t I install apps from the Microsoft Store in Windows 10?
Question from Dawn F.: My friend told me about a Windows app called “TuneIn Radio” that lets you listen to live radio on your computer.
I found the app in the Microsoft Store but when I click on it to install it nothing happens. I tried installing a couple of other apps too just as a test and none of them will install.
Can you tell me how to fix this? I really want to give TuneIn Radio a try.

Picture of the Day: “A skeleton from times past”
Every once in a while I happen upon a photo that really strikes a nerve with me, and today’s picture is one of them. When I first glanced at it my eyes and mind were drawn to it for two reasons: it’s stark beauty and its representation of a dying industry.
There was a time in America when the term agriculture referred primarily to family farms, not the mega-corporate enterprises that dominate the industry today.
The culture of the area where I was born, raised and still live has its roots planted deep within the soil of hundreds of family farms that were passed down from generation to generation throughout most of our nation’s history, but now most of the stately old barns that I pass while driving through the countryside look a lot like this one – abandoned and left to fade away at the mercy of the elements.
This is indeed a striking image, but for this country boy from rural southwestern Virginia it represents the steady demise of a once treasured way of life

Super-fast way to get the current weather conditions for any town, city or zip code
There’s an old saying that goes something like “Everybody complains about the weather, but nobody does anything about it.”
While you can’t really do anything about the weather, if you like keeping tabs on it there’s an easy way to get the current weather conditions for virtually any locality, in seconds.
To get a quick snapshot of current weather conditions, all you have to do is type the word weather followed by a zip code into either your browser’s address bar or your favorite search engine’s search box. [Read more…]
How to convert any standard light fixture into a ‘Dusk-to-Dawn’ fixture in seconds
Do you have a light on your porch, carport or other area that you would like to have come on automatically at dusk and go off at dawn?
You could always replace your existing light fixture with a dusk-to-dawn fixture, but that would be a fairly expensive upgrade if you had to hire an electrician to do the job for you.
Well, I have great news: You can easily convert any standard light fixture into a dusk-to-dawn light yourself by simply replacing the bulb. Yes, you read that right. Just replace the bulb!
I recently did some research into my options for making this upgrade and I found this fantastic E27 LED Dusk to Dawn Sensor Light Bulb at Amazon. It just blew me away!
This amazing LED bulb contains two photosensitive light sensors that automatically switch the bulb on at dusk and then switch it off again at dawn. And like all LED bulbs, it’s built to last (it comes with a 3 year warranty). [Read more…]
