Kids grow up and become parents, or at least stand alone adults, so what happens when a WordPress child theme can absorb their parent? Is this metaphor slipping down a slipper slope? So here is the situation. Both my Daily Blank (a theme to create your own version of the DS106 Daily Create) theme and […]
Coming soon, well now, to a SPLOT near you- the ability to preview content before you submit it. Try a beta version now at http://splot.ca/collector/collect — or see this mini screen capture video: Because it was aimed at longer content, the TRU Writer SPLOT has always had a built in way to preview content before […]
Pretend you don’t know me. To save you some manual effort you surely won’t mind giving me permission to not only add things to your calendar, but also, you are okay with me sharing your calendar or even deleting it. I will stop calling you Shirley if you agree that this is crazy. But apparently […]
It just takes repetition for new habits to become ingrained ones. That seems logical, but heck, in 2018, logic is not what it used to be (let’s save this tangent for an offline rant). For this week’s (actually it is last weeks I think) 9x9x25 I am sharing my own effort to be as diligent […]

I had a #count6 thing going, and […]

Nobody is anti-sharing, are they? Everybody is for it. It was maybe the first thing I heard about in 1992 as a newly hired instructional technologist at the Maricopa Community Colleges. My second week on the job was attending an Ocotillo Retreat where faculty/staff working groups developed ideas to advance to use of technology in […]
I’ve had a 14+ year loving relationship with flickr since joining in maybe March 2004. I’ve seen all of the prognostications of its death after its sale to Yahoo and absorption into Yahoo and more recently the sale to SmugMug. I have over 61,000 photos sitting there which has benefited me many times over in […]
Thanks to Colin Madland I got to co-present out work on creating a system for WordPress hosted portfolios for over 500 new students at Trinity Western University. I was unable to attend in person, but Colin submitted us a proposal and got me in the room via his Zoom room. Waving back at you @cogdog […]
