It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day again!

The beatings will continue until morale improves!
Ahoy, me maties!

Aye, it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day once again. Where's that wench with me grog? And as customary, me blog is piratified by me Text Filter Suite plugin. For today, all th' writin' will be automatically translated into pirate speak. If ye leave comments, ye don’t have t' go out o' yer way t' talk pirate, just write normally, and th' filters will take care o' thin's fer ye.

Yaaarrr!

  9. Iva says:

    I tried t' implement it on 19th and it resulted in me pages loadin' only t' th' loop. I wonder what were wrong. I would love t' implement one o' th' other filters on next available occasion.

    • Dougal says:

      I’m not sure what ye mean. Walk the plank! Can ye describe th' problem in more detail?

      I like t' turn on either th' ‘Fudd’ or ‘Chef’ filters fer April Fools Day.

      • Iva says:

        It could be a collission with one o' th' other plugins, pass the grog! Load the cannons! Basically, with th' plugin activated, me loop does not load anymore. I hope it made more sense now. :)
