I have a negligible update for a favorite of my WordPress Calling Card themes. WP-Dimension was the first of several I first made a WordPress theme out of an HTML5-up template. It appeared in this dimension in February 2017. This theme is also special as I use it dog-fooding style (which I have been told […]
Documentation … chore or joy, or neither? I’ve been wanting to put the nifty Docsify-This publishing tool made by Paul Hibbitts into play. Amongst my sprawl of Github projects are the SPLOT WordPress themes each with a rather sprawling in its own rights README file that includes my efforts at splotware documentation (look at this […]
It was about time I did some feature adding to a SPLOT theme- adding support for Sodaphonic audio was super easy for many reasons. For all that is not great about time spent in Twitter (believe it or not I have dialed my attention there back) I have to give credit that I still sift […]
My speed of blogging is one of those limit curves approaching a large stretch of time. But hey, no one really notices but me. I thought I had not even written up this first fun tool I made, to make it possible to generate a random mixture of different voices, reading the same text, done […]
Like some shiny dress shoes, my SPLOT themes just got a wee bit of polish based on some needs others had. I also made an effort to make sure the three main ones TRU Writer, TRU Collector, and SPLOTbox all got the same shine. This also reinforces what has been true since the first SPLOTs […]
I will say up front that my reach for a Western Movie metaphor will fall flat and two short of the original. But look at the lovely horses, beamed directly from the Icelandverse. Last week I lobbed a presentation for the Open Publishing Fest — It Goes SPLOT! TRU Writer as an open, shared, privacy […]
Coming uo with solutions to WordPress needs often means finding a different tree to bark at. I’m never surprised to discover along the way some dusty niche in the code. For example, in the tale I spin out here, I never knew there was a limit for the number of tags the default tag cloud […]
Well it’s more like a day dream that Gojira would rise up with a roar and — this started as a bit of a rant and play at the way Twitter quote / unquote addresses accessibility for tweeted images. I can’t fix twitter. Even Twitter can’t really fix Twitter. But I can do something about […]
SPLOTs just won’t go away [from this blog]. I recently celebrated some success in building a new part of the machine, then realizing it’s use case might be narrow. So while no one needs say a third arm, the process of designing it often has unexpected payoffs later. It Came About Because I Messed Up […]
The SPLOTting has not stopped here. I’m happy to have added a whole new avenue for support of services for SPLOTbox I previously thought impossible. You can see it (and try it) in action right now at http://splot.ca/box. As proof of concept, you can add simply via URL, video from Kaltura media servers from BCcampus, […]
