Should have joined Twitter earlier

For whatever reason, Twitter just never really appealed to me. The idea of limiting myself to 140 characters seemed, well, too limiting. And my first few skims of Twitter had too high of a junk to good stuff ratio.
But after finally dragging myself to give it a shot, finding a few people to [...]

…and a test post with myWeblog

Found another offline Wordpress editor to try on my MacBook. This time it’s myWeblog 2.1. I like the looks of it. Seems very Mac-like, which I suppose is a good thing.

One of the things I’m most looking for, and so far only found in myWeblog, is the ability to edit pages. [...]

First post with MarsEdit

If you read the post up from this you’ll see that I just tried out Qumana and wasn’t all that happy with it. It was nice to be able to blog without logging into WordPress, but it had a couple of deal breakers for me.
Unfortunately none of the free solutions I’ve come across have [...]

First look at Qumana

Trying something new again.  The WordPress iPhone app that I posted about a few days ago was nice, but it doens’t work well for longer posts.  Nothing against the app.  But  I can type pretty quickly and it’s frustrating to have to slow down for the little keyboard.  Fortunately I have my MacBook with me [...]

Blogging from an iPhone

Let’s see how this goes. I’m writing my first blog post from my iPhone. A few months ago I tried the Wordpress app version 1 point something. Couldn’t figure out if it supported tag, and I prefer using tags over categories. Fortunately I came across version 2.1 today and it works without a hitch.

WordPress release archive

Didn’t know this was around, but looking for older versions of WordPress to test plugins against I found the WordPress release archive.  Looks like you can find pretty much every release they’ve put out.

How to wrap a SMF forum in WordPress

After spending the better part of yesterday getting a forum setup with the same layout as its parent WordPress site I thought I’d share a couple of tips along the way.
And I picked a less efficient way, including wp-blog-header.php in the forum code, because it was far easier. At some point I may go back [...]

My first public WordPress theme – Christine

Meet Christine. This is the first WordPress theme that I’ve done that’s getting released. I’ve done probably a dozen themes for various sites but never sat down until now with the intent of doing one to share.

You can download it from Reliti.com

ForumsBlogsWikis.com

Yup, another blog.
If you read back through the archives here you’ll see that I have a real problem with starting new projects. Not that I have a problem starting one. I have a problem starting too many. Right now I’ve got 2 forums, 1 eCommerce site, and 6 blogs (only 3 of [...]

Moving WordPress categories

Almost every posting you read on how to “correctly” run a blog says you shouldn’t have too many categories. I was guilty of that problem, so I trimmed down my categories quite a bit with the help of a plugin called Category Converter.
It’s a one file plugin that you upload to the plugin folder [...]
