Most people will never need such a thing in a WordPress site, but outside the boxes of blogging, where WordPress is a Swiss Army Knife, there are situations where you need to run a script or do something on a regular interval. Maybe it’s polling social media. Maybe it’s updating some information about your site. […]
I’ve always heard that the Gila Monster, a Sonoran desert reptile (hey Canada, you have NO Sonoran desert) is notorious for a bite that is never released. I am going to be the same way with Facebook until they come out of their blue castle and explain they illogical, inconsistent, way they attend to reports […]
I’m included with five others on a session / workshop for the upcoming OLC Innovate Conference; we are talking about Virtually Connecting — Rebecca Hogue got us together, and I think she and a few others will be on site.

“Yeah, wasn’t he involved in educational technology? Blogged a lot?” My recent stream of facebook catfishing rants have had a huge negligible less than zero effect. I got like 10 share in facebooks and 3 retweets. No one apparently wants to comment on the big fbomb rant. Facebook has not even responded to my recent […]

G5 Bulgarian language students learn how to use @cogdog's Flickr tool for Creative Commons citations at @AAS_Sofia pic.twitter.com/plrcvVOaZd — Shary Marshall (@sharymarshall) February 25, […]
