Styling Down those Oversized Images in WordPress

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on September 10, 2013

cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by Reema This blog’s crusty old theme (I still like it, sue me) has a pretty narrow width content column, 500px fixed. I typically size my media to fit. Since I have been syndicating content into here from my other blogs– my Barking Dog photo […]

Have You Been Daily Creative in Week 2?

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on September 9, 2013

Already a day late, and much more than a dollar short. I am resisting the apology tone for ds106 week (NO APOLOGIES IN DS106!, NO APOLOGIES IN DS106!). My attention went elsewhere, but if I did anything this week (I think) were some daily creates. Actually I do not remember, I end up paging through […]

Guess What I Did Today? I Animated Cow Poop!

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on September 5, 2013May 27, 2016

Do you get to do that in your fancy MOOC? What more do you need to know to be part of ds106? And the beauty is, you can start this creative experience at any time. You are never behind, or missing out on some quiz to get some chips. I digress. I thought this photo […]

Some updates on the construction of a WordPress theme that will give you the features of the ds106 assignment bank. Bottom line- there’s a lot to account for to make something flexible. With a few more pieces to add, I hope I can make an alpha version available next week. And yes, the look is […]

Mickey Has Lost His Head!

Oh that dog! This is my contribution for today’s ds106 Daily Create assignment Create your headless ds106 portrait. Mickey is my long gone (11 years) Labrador Retriever that became my logo everywhere, on the blog, on Twitter, even on my arm: That is headFULL not headLESS. So I went back to the original photo the […]

YouTube Breaks Tag Functionality. Internet Does Not Notice. Blog at 11.

cc licensed ( BY NC ND ) flickr photo shared by maziar hooshmand I feel lonely on the internet… because I still hold on dearly tot he idea of tagging content as a means to organize across communities. It’s so 2002. At one time, people could tag videos on YouTube as a way to organize […]

cc licensed ( BY SA ) flickr photo shared by Alan Levine It’s been a while since I have seen Marvin. He was excited to travel with me on my big trip in 2011, it was his idea to jump out at every stop to get a photo. He was reliable for a few photos, […]

A comment on a blog that is shockingly written by a person, not some shoe selling bot. And yesterday, a comment on the flickr photo above. It’s obviously a screenshot, but I had […]

Checking all of the meters, spinning a few dials… ah there we are, signal. It has been a week since we launched the Headless ds106 course and on seeing the posts that have come in, the burst in twitter activity, I am pretty happy about the level of activity. More than that, it is very […]

First Week Headless of Daily Creates

Profile Picture for CogDog The Blog CogDog The Blog on September 1, 2013December 4, 2020

The point of ds106 Daily Creates is something that should not take much work, so really it is more than enough to just do them and get them posted somewhere. It is helpful, and suggested for people in Headless ds106 who have some experience, to try sharing some of the behind the scenes notes of […]

Here I bark and growl about the web, edtech, photography, and other stuff that gets under my fur (more…).

Keep those e-cards and e-letters coming via my Bark to Me web contact form-- except requests to add links, insert ads, or write guest articles. I don't do that. Look around. If you bug for stuff listed here, and worse, repeatedly ask if I got your message you likely will get the treatment. Ignore this warning and you will incur a pile of dog poop left at your doorstep.
