Coming soon to a cpanel near you (if you are hosted by Reclaim Hosting) My favorite work over the last few years, spawned by the Open Learning Fellowship at TRU set up for me by Brian Lamb, has been the development of WordPress themes that turn a vanilla bloggy type site into a functional web […]
I’ve got a lot of catching up to do with Tom Woodward on building sites that draw content from WordPress ones via the API but I’ve got reason and interest to start. This has been a back of the mind idea for while for my sites that rely on random images drawn from the flickr […]
In the minor fiddling with code that probably no one will notice department… I include the Daily Blank WordPress theme as a SPLOT since I worked on it early in the TRU fellowship where all the others were spawned. Yup, I blogged about it December 2, 2014. It was created to make a generic version […]
I’ve seen and ignored a thing with photos from my mobile phone for years. Since I’m in the minority that views the web on a device other than a smart phone, maybe it’s not a big deal. It’s when the photos look as you took them on your phone, but when uploaded to a site […]
You know that trippy opening riff to the Steppenwolf song You know you’ve installed WordPress themes O’Lord, you’ve uploaded a few SPLOTs But you never update them It’s too many steps, lots and lots You know, I’ve seen a lot of SPLOTs out there With not the lastests versions around If you get WP Pusher, […]
I admit I hardly think of printing web pages. But it’s easy to get limited by your own scope of stuff you do.. One of our most active and prolific Ontario Extend Participants, @NurseKillam aka Laura Killam, has been an eager SPLOT poster child, and her questions last year led me to add a number […]
Daniel Villar has been on fire with the SPLOTs. Not only did he invite me for a workshop last month in Coventry University (and that site is a SPLOT), where we got pre-made versions of them available on Conventry.domains, he recently put three different ones into play for his new OWLTEH project. Beyond this, Daniel […]
I do take requests for SPLOT features; the whole evolution of them has been propelled by ideas people have sent me. Readers should ask, “What The Hell is a SPLOT?” Good question, I have a SPLOT that answers that question (google recursion). Before plopping the details, I should acknowledge Reclaim Hosting for starting in April, […]
SPLOT SPLOT SPLOT… just off a session talking about (but never defining) SPLOTs for a Reclaim Hosting Workshop. It was bad enough I started off with an obscure reference to a 1970s TV commercial but my slick SPLOTpoint presentation was derailed by a CSS issue (because someone thought they were uploading the newest version of […]
Mexico has much to teach the American president about the uses for walls; they are not for barriers, but a surface for mural art. I was charged with putting together a web site for the project I was part of last week in Mexico. While it was a followup to the UDG Agora (the participants […]
