  • Upping WP ( Monday, March 31st, 2008)
    WordPress 2.5 has been out a few days, what am I waiting for? Actually for my Dreamhost hosted sites, the upgrade is a brainless click with its One Click install/upgrades. I am done. Well not completely, the whole admin interface is different! It has that new car WordPress.com smell, the old blue is gone, we [...] more »»

  • Hello Askimet, Goodbye SK2! Thanks for all the Fish ( Saturday, March 22nd, 2008)
    I’ve just swapped the spam “defense” here from SpamKarma2 to Askimet. The word is that Dr Dave is going to top updating it. Sk2 has sure needed regular attention lately, a lot of moderation, and then I found out that friends of mine were being tossed its captcha, and I hate bad captchas. Bad news. And then [...] more »»

  • The Minis Speak ( Sunday, March 16th, 2008)
    The comment stream is a raging torrent (121+) to Al Upton’s dire situation of his miniLegend bloggers being squashed by the government– what is telling now are comments from the miniLegends themselves (un-edited): more »»

  • MiniLegends Squashed: Who Is the Mommy? ( Sunday, March 16th, 2008)
    Sometime last year before my trip to Australia, I discovered the amazing work Al Upton was doing with year 3 students at at Adelaide Australia primary school. The 8 and 9 year old “miniLegends” were blogging, doing creative writing, and getting a fabulous experience in web technology. So it was exciting this year when Al put [...] more »»

  • Tried to pretend I was sleeping in the doghouse when tagged… ( Wednesday, March 5th, 2008)
    Mmmmm, another mutated strand of 5 things meme got batted my way from Alisa. I’ve got a lukewarm thing about such things. Over the years I have never forwarded those email things which warned an anvil would drop from the sky on this coyote if I failed to forward. Well, maybe it did. But I’ll play [...] more »»

  • PhotoDropper Gateway Plugin Drug for Flickr Photos ( Saturday, March 1st, 2008)
    photo credit: lovestruck. This is my first play with PhotoDropper a WordPress plugin that provides a search interface and one click insert so you can find creative commons licensed flickr photos in your blog. It is lovely, a lovely, lovely plugin, and is just one more iota of my expression of my flickr love. Or obsession. All [...] more »»

  • VoiceThreading Northern Voice ( Friday, February 22nd, 2008)
    How does one blog a blogging conference? However you feel like doing it! It’s Friday, time for Moose Camp at Northern Voice 2008 and I am convinced every conference should launch with a tiki bar party. So the Waldorf Hotel was packed with bloggers of all varieties. Got to hang out with Jim Groom, Chris [...] more »»

  • Be a Blog Mentor for Al Upton’s miniLegends ( Saturday, February 16th, 2008)
    Yesterday I wrote of the power of using twitter as a “CallOut” to get help or participation or just say, “Hey, we’re hanging out over at this cool web place.” And late last night, another example twittered my way- getting a tweet from both Sue Waters and Al Upton. Al does these fantastic web blogging projects [...] more »»

  • WordPressing Dissected: NMC Pachyderm Services ( Thursday, February 14th, 2008)
    Let me join the Jim Groom Kum-Ba-Ya I Love WordPress Chorus. In this least year, I’ve rolled out 3 NMC web sites that are published via WordPress, with each one going deeper into the bowels of the templates and just more jazzed how I can bend them to my will, casting CSS, PHP, plugins, MySQL [...] more »»

  • Its February, So It Means Time To Stop Blogging ( Saturday, February 2nd, 2008)
    This is the third year I am doing my roughly annual tradition of taking a week with the blog posting on this site put on “mute” (or muzzle) as I will take all my writing to blog via the comment space of other sites. This is the notion of “comment blogging” I found long ago, [...] more »»
