[timebuddy] for WordPress
Without digging too much into the reasons why (that’s code for “I don’t know why”) one headache with running WordPress Multisite is that even users who have administrative privileges on their own site, any embed code, javascript put into the editor is stripped on publishing. Only Site Network admins can insert JavaScript. Why? I said, […]

Calling in to the Hall in a Weird Town
I debated about 10 minutes with myself (well I may have been frying eggs at the same time too) about writing a blog post about politics. I think I’ve done it once before or maybe tucked a few over on medium. But I get to make the rules around here. So I am using a […]

The Feed WordPress Featured Image Not So Merry Go Round
I’ve got my hands in two current connected course sites that rely on the Feed WordPress syndication approach— one is Open Learning 17 led by Gardner Campbell and the other is the Networked Narratives course I am co-teaching with Mia Zamora. We’ve had a bit of a circle around on a part that has little […]

The Challenge of Non-Disposable Assignments
I might not refer to making Open Educational Resources (OERs) as “easier” but it is more familiar to educators than the idea of creating Assignments that are not “disposable”. David Wiley described the term “disposable assignments” in a 2013 post on Open Pedagogy. It’s a brilliant approach to talk to educators about designing open materials, […]

Beautiful Benches and Attribution
Abiding by the letter of open licenses mean you do not have to ask permission. But it sure is nice when someone goes beyond the letter of the license and lets you know of a use of your work. It’s an old story around here, and it’s so old I cannot find the source, but […]

A New Dimension of a WordPress Theme
I’m fairly sure this blog post and the README write up a new WordPress Theme are going to take as long as it took to do the coding. That’s okay, it’s important. The path I took was similar when I was looking for a simple landing for the main site of the WordPress Multisite for […]

Permutations of Attribution
per·mu·ta·tion p?rmyo?o?t?SH(?)n/ noun a way, especially one of several possible variations, in which a set or number of things can be ordered or arranged. Often I am asked if “this is the right way to do attribution” for something openly licensed. Most of the time I am tempted to reply, if you are attributing at […]

A Direct Connection For Certification Content
While I have a fairly well-formed image in my head how the Creative Commons Certification system will flow, at times (many times) despite efforts to sketch and explain, I wonder if others do. I will keep trying. And I think/hope it will be clearer as we roll out in the next month or two, more […]
