These posts document experiments in hacking and tweaking Wordpress; I hardly call myself expert, but I do like to tinker under the hood. If there is something I can do for you, bark my way or visit me at http://cogdog.it
Just rolled a new feature into the Daily Blank WordPress theme that’s been on my whiteboard list for a few months (speaking of that, where is my whiteboard?). Note: I just found this post sitting in my drafts, written like 5 months ago. Oops. This is the theme built for sites like the DS106 Daily […]
What else to do on a chilly, blustery, snowy day, sitting on the couch, in front a warm fireplace, side by side blogging with my Cori… then to fiddle with my WordPress themes? Yeah, as she says a compliment, I am weird. This week I was helping my friend Mariana do some revamps, web site […]
Again I will spend more time writing up a blog post about some little thing I did than actually doing the little thing. Maybe it’s my vanity, or just trying to capture how I go about my work. It’s my blog and I can blog what I want… Sometimes I take these little self dares […]

Speaking of HTML5 Up Themes I’ve folded into WordPress ones, I have to say my favorite might be WP Big Picture. Check out the demo site. It has the lush design of the original HTML5up theme, but what you get in the WordPress version is adding new sections merely by creating new posts, easily changing […]
Here is another new experimenting in porting a Creative Commons licensed HTML5 Up template into a WordPress theme, say hello to WP-Lens. This joins my three previous HTML5 Up to WordPress themes, I was thinking recently of what other templates might be useful inside a WordPress site. The static html site Lens really puts images […]
Since August I’ve been working on an up to now unblogged WordPress as portfolio project with Colin Madland at Trinity Western University. Let’s dash the “un”. I remember hearing of electronic portfolios from my very get go in instructional technology in the 1990s. I remember getting to know Dr Helen Barrett who even then billed […]
It’s rather exciting to finally see this available on my Reclaim Hosting cpanel… As if I need another reason to say how awesome @ReclaimHosting is- there is a second one click install of my WordPress calling Card themes available. This is way beyond "Hello World" in Twenty-Seventeen https://t.co/WOPKvEZOod pic.twitter.com/GDtuDunH2l — Alan Levine (@cogdog) September 11, […]
