Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this November 17th, 2006 5:29 pm

Updated WordPress. Time on task, about 4 minutes. Easy-Peasy. Now I need to tend to a few other WP sites I have laying around elsewhere,

Blogs Like Weeds

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this August 8th, 2006 4:06 pm

Despite my best intentions, I find myself with a small herd of WordPress blogs- this one, my running blog, and two more over at NMC (one is our Second Life site, the other is still under wraps, sorry).
So today was upgrade day, making sure they were all brought up to the latest 2.04 version [...]

Calendar Data PITA and Banging On WordPress

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this June 30th, 2006 5:37 pm

Remember the “S” in RSS standing for Simple? I’ve gone through several gyrations [1] [2] [3] in trying to leverage RSS-ified calendar data to push content to a blog.
Calendar information is just not as neatly boxed like Title, Link, & Description.
What I wanted is a web-based calendar tool (lots of them), that I could [...]

In Search of Google Calendar Plugin

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 30th, 2006 12:49 pm

I’m working on integrating a Google Calendar into a WP blog (not this one, an NMC project in development). The master plan is to allow a number of groups ti enter potential shared events into a common calendar, and syndicate to our blog site.
I have a few events dumped into a Google Calendar for testing. [...]

WordPress Theme Philosophy

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this May 4th, 2006 11:33 pm

I thought it was longer, but it was only a bit over a year ago I switched from my MovableTyle CogDogBlog over to its incarnation in WordPress. Having rolled out perhaps 5 or 6 other WP blogs I was thinking of blogging out my strategy for dealing with some of the coolest aspects of Wp, [...]

PodPress is the Plug

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this April 28th, 2006 10:28 am

My commenters Joe and D’Arcy were right- PodPress is dah thing for generating iTunes ready feeds from WordPress. I should have looked no farther than my own blog here which is where I had installed it! It does not require a custom replacement file for the WP standard distribution, has better configuration, and built in [...]

Better Podcast Feeds with iPodCatter Plug-in

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this April 27th, 2006 5:37 pm

Just found the WordPress plug-in WP-iPodCatter which creates iTunes ready RSS feeds from a WordPress blog. This became necessary as I dabbled with posting my first enhanced podcast file, and noticed that WordPress never put the *.m4a file in as an enclosure. It turns out, WP is pretty limited on what it seeks for enclosures [...]

All Your Old Jade Links Are Mine

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 10th, 2006 2:39 pm

The conversion is complete. With one line of text, I have preserved every old link, every RSS feed, under the former URL/host for this blog from the old cogdogblog.com/…. to the exact same links here at the new home at cogdogblog.com/…/.
Oi, that also means the spam will come here too. And the poker folks have [...]

The Duke- a 2.0 Thing With Meaning

Alan Levine aka CogDog barked this January 3rd, 2006 10:25 am

Finally- something with a “2.0″ on the end that has substance! My first tech task of 2006 has been the upgrade of CDB to WordPress 2.0 the “Duke” release.
There should not be any noticable difference from your view, dear reader, as apparently most of the enhancements are under the hood. I avoided the excitement and [...]
