Hello, World
It’s been a while, WordPress blog. Been busy! That’s all to say now, more later. Just circling back to the first, long ago deleted, post- some make it harder than it should be. Hello. Featured image:

Everything that does not have a home, just a big old stinking pile of posts.

One Day / Two Online Presentations
Of all days, yesterday, happened as a convergence of doing presentations at two different conferences. Fortunately, I was able to do all from the comfort of home as they were online ones. In my late morning I did a session at the 2019 Technology, Colleges and Community (TCC) conference, which amazingly is the 24th one, […]

Best Conference Ever
This is just a wee bit of example for a presentation on Not So Stupid WordPress Tricks at April 18, 2019 PressEd Conference, here showing how a post can be used a web direction trick.

Silly Media Offered at 24th TCC Conference Teaser Session
Yesterday I had the fun opportunity to talk about attributed and possibly [semi] serious use of the kinds of media people see/share all the time. This session was a free pre-conference teaser for the 24th annual Teaching, Colleges and Community (YCC) conference. That’s right, 24… and it’s still being organized by the very people who […]

Easy IndieWeb Login with WP-Dimension Theme
Those big time motivational speakers who talk about starting to learn with a problem you want to solve have never really accounted for serendipitous learning. Is everything as simple as problem -> solution? This is one of those times I accidentally learned something I had no intent of learning. It was like 3 by products […]

A Plugin For Your Blogged Past
Once you have a few years of blogging in your archives, you thus have some history (doh). And I made a little plugin to make it more visible, to generate a list of previous year’s post published on the current day. Just peek at my own page using this. It all started with a tweet […]

Digging into an obscure WordPress Error; not quite Brain Surgery

Making It a Regular Habit: Writing Image Descriptions
It just takes repetition for new habits to become ingrained ones. That seems logical, but heck, in 2018, logic is not what it used to be (let’s save this tangent for an offline rant). For this week’s (actually it is last weeks I think) 9x9x25 I am sharing my own effort to be as diligent […]

A Few More Switches and Gizmos for SPLOTs
Actually it’s just switches, like things to turn on and off. When I wrote the title, “switches” by itself sounded like things were changing. So imagine the gizmos. As it likely has been written before, the best things about seeing SPLOTs get used are the ways people use it that I would have never anticipated, […]

For Her Birthday, another episode of Granny’s Stories
The calendar reminder notifies me that yesterday would have been my grandmother’s 113th birthday. If I could talk to her, I’d tease about that being a lucky number. She would laugh that cackle I loved hearing. What I do have is audio I recorded with her in 1994 on actual tape (micro-cassette) . Granny’s Tape […]
