Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.
I’m sampling now some of my own WordCamp Takeways and am really excited about Ozh’ Absolute Comments plugin recommended by Lorelle. As she mentioned in her WordCamp session, it rather frustrating in the shiny new WP interface where one goes to edit a comment, though it sounds like she does a lot more comment editing […]
photo credit: lordog Continuing the gastronomic theme for my WordCamp experience, here are a few quick things I took away from the experience (for complete coverage, see Andrew Mager’s live blogging) WordCamp’s t-shirt colors (brown this year) seem to follow directly the lead of Northern Voice 😉 Almost everyone I met was with some company, […]
When you type some keywords into a search box, be prepared for a naive assumption that you are searching an entire web site. A few weeks ago, in my first aborted attempt to give money to Apple, I came across a web site on Apple.com that allows you (well after 9pm) to check whether a […]

cc licensed flickr photo Day 200/365 “Yawn” by Wellstone This may be in the “pot calling kettle black” category> tag, but I have this long standing growl in my belly about Screencasts. The technology is great, lots of tools, free ones, but when we talk about them it seems to be always about the tools. […]
I have yet to even explore all the features that clicky offers for web stats, but am still on a love plain after accidently discovering it.
I am running the free version here on CogDogBlog, and just found that there are widgets you can use, so I have the daily stats now embedded on my Blogs n’ Bits page or what smart people call “colophon”. It’s done via a Google Module, which means I have one on my own Google ig page.
This also widened my eyes to information I see that any module you can embed on a Google home page can be embedded in other web pages. Hmmm.
In addition, I have been using it on the NMC web site, and today paid for a year’s worth of service, meaning I can use it our multiple domains, use the “Spy” real time reporting. I too made a page on the NMC site with not only the web stats, but am embedded Google map showing where today’s visitors clicked from:
I was just IMing with Nick Noakes who asked if I had tried pictobrowser, a flickr web widget thingie. Like other tools that allow you to embed flickr content, you just need to provide your flickr handle and select a set or tag to display your photos, embedded in another site.
Are tag clouds, as Read/Write Web suggests, entombed? dead? On my fleet of NMC WordPress site I am shifting to using tags more on posts as an organizer, and tossing some clouds on the pages (see lower right sidebar of Pachyderm Services). Its a bit easier on these sites that have a relatively low number […]
Thanks EduBlogs! Thanks James! by cogdogblog posted 12 Aug ’08, 10.46pm MDT PST on flickr Thanks to a tweet from @jdwilliams I learned that the edublogs dashboard (like all 190,000 of them) have a nice little pitch for people to help in my quest for interesting uses of WordPress in education for a presentation at […]
“Library” and “Gaming” were words that you likely saw rarely paired years ago. I was a library junkie as a kid, loved wandering stacks, walking out with piles of books, but it’s hard to shake the imprint that it was a place were the main noises you heard were were “Shhhhh” not “boing!” It’s hardly […]
