One of my web hobbies is peeking at the source code of web pages– and I love it when you find something there that does not make the front page, and HTML Easter Egg if you will. I actually do this if I am trying to see how something was coded for a page or […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog I’m almost done the first round of video editing prep for Amazing Stories of Openness for the OpenEd conference. Going well. My plan during my presentation is to give context of each video I have acquired, and play a short clip, but provide the full interview clip as […]
It’s possible there’s more out there than I know, but I see social media apps that offer great models for connecting people with similar interests, but wonder where is that for education? Today, I came across Micro.Vois— a simple idea that seems elegant, built on (what else these days?) twitter click to see full image […]
I’ve been mumbling in twitter (like anyone notices) about a very interesting data gathering/visualizing tool that rides the back coat tails of twitter in a clever way. I’ll spill the beans first, but stick around for the story and the after blog coffee, okay? Your Flowing Data (YFD) is described by its creator, Nathan, as […]

(this is an hour after my second request submitted to their support email for help) Twas not a happy experience last 2 days with Dreamhost and a migration to their “private server” experience…. I had not responded to their first […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by crabchick There’s something afoot abut data. Whether it is Sir Tim’s vision of a Web of Data (or is it the W3C Linked Data?), there is something emerging with not only the availability of more data (heck even the government is on it http://www.data.gov) but more what we can […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by cogdogblog In honor of Dominoe, who left this world July 24, 1993. Yesterday’s addictive diversion was flipping through my old analog photo albums pulling photos to scan for Remembering Dominoe. But I missed another major back story part of the story. It was in 1986 when my room-mate Kevin […]
cc licensed flickr photo shared by [phil h] I’m a huge fan of CoolIris, the browser plugin that turns media content into an amazing flowing virtual wall. It is hands down one of the best ways to explore flickr or YouTube searches, since results are not limited to one page, it becomes endless flow. cc […]

It’s been a while but it is time to add to my collection of WordPress Dissected where I break down web sites I have been building using WordPress but with some moderate to severe template wrangling.
Today I present an NMC project set that is sort of a Zen Riddle. If a blog has no posts is it a web site? This is the editing area for a finished web site:
How? Why?
The web site is made up entirely of WordPress pages, because there is nothing chronological in the site’s structure (though if we ever added a news section it would be easy). There was a reason I organized it around Pages… and I cannot remember why, but had something to do with being able to list the pages in a sidebar. I think. To be honest, the work started more than a year ago and the site sat behind a password until the grant funders for the project where ready to go public.
The site is for the Edward and Betty Marcus Digital Education Project for Texas Art Museums, a project where we worked with 28 art museum or art education programs in Texas to help them apply storytelling concepts to their collections and artists, and use the Pachyderm software to create online exhibits.
