Before installing, I decided to uninstall the CS3 programs that aren&#8217;t in high use&#8230; Contribute was in that batch leaving only Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Dreamweaver on my system&#8230;. Only thing is for some reason my wordpress was being odd and wouldn&#8217;t let me connect with Contribute CS4 so decided to try reinstalling CS3. I thinks the re-install of that one program took as long as CS4 total as it kept making me switch between CS3 and CS4 disks. So lesson learned &#8211; make sure you really don&#8217;t want the CS3 items before uninstalling. Still not sure what was causing the issue as the same settings seem to work fine now on CS4&#8230; might have been something quarky with the server.<\/p>\n<p>Friday I felt pretty miserable with a migraine so I didn&#8217;t do much of anything. Saturday morning I played around with the battles I had missed on the NAPP boards the past several weeks. See previous post.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday afternoon\/evening I decided I was going to finally tackle the &#8220;Library&#8221; section and actually customize it a bit. Once I got the books lining up nicely (<a href=\"https:\/\/burianek.com\/blog\/library\/\" target=\"_blank\">View the Library<\/a>) I decided I had finally had enough of the &#8220;Currently Reading&#8221; showing up on the Library pages and the home-is() wasn&#8217;t really working. I found a great solution on <a href=\"http:\/\/bluemushrooms.com\/wordpress-23-is_home-fix\/\" target=\"_blank\">Blue Mushroom<\/a> which suggested modifying the functions.php page.. <\/p>\n<p>While that  worked great, I also happened to add an absentminded extra return after the ending ?> which apparently causes problems with WordPress&#8230; My entire Dashboard disappeared until I found the offending carriage return and deleted it. So second lesson learned &#8211; don&#8217;t have extra carriage returns in your WordPress php files.\n                <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Adobe CS4 Master Collection arrived on the 23rd&#8230; since it was my son&#8217;s birthday I didn&#8217;t do much with it beyond install&#8230; an install that seemed to take forever..
