I’ve had this site running WordPress for years and years, but I’m seriously considering moving to Squarespace. From what I’ve seen they have a fantastic platform, great features, and reasonable pricing. There’s something very appealing about not having to think about any of the back end technology. I do plenty of technical stuff all day […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
With Convore shutting down at the end of the month, I suppose I should take my plugin page down. So much for my first foray into publishing something open source I wish Leah Culver the best with her continuing work at Grove. On a more meta note, I’m writing this post on the WordPress app […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I am slightly hesitant to post this right now as for some reason my web hosting is being slow and crappy. Nevertheless, I wanted to mention to the world that I’ve written a WordPress plugin for Convore. I’m pretty happy with the results so far and I’m mentioning it here and enabling the Convore functionality […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…

That’s simple enough to do with the template tag […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I wrote the last entry on my iPhone using the WordPress app. Everything went fine until I inserted the WordPress post break to cause only the introduction to appear on the site index. After I saved that change, it looked on the iPhone app as though the post were truncated to that point and the […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
I use the excellent wp-amazon WordPress plugin to insert Amazon associate links into this site. Unfortunately the version from the web site hasn’t been updated in a long time and it doesn’t work in the newer releases of WordPress. In looking at the support form I found a link to this patch. I followed these […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
This site is now running WordPress 2.3 which came out a couple weeks ago. I’m excited about the built in tags support. Not sure exactly how that works but since I have been tagging things by hand for ages I’m hoping this will automate that for me (yes, I am aware that tagging plugins have […] ↓ Read the rest of this entry…
