Well it’s more like a day dream that Gojira would rise up with a roar and — this started as a bit of a rant and play at the way Twitter quote / unquote addresses accessibility for tweeted images. I can’t fix twitter. Even Twitter can’t really fix Twitter. But I can do something about […]
SPLOTs just won’t go away [from this blog]. I recently celebrated some success in building a new part of the machine, then realizing it’s use case might be narrow. So while no one needs say a third arm, the process of designing it often has unexpected payoffs later. It Came About Because I Messed Up […]
I’ve not have much time over last days weeks more to do much SPLOT tinkering (well there is one experimental feature in the works). But I got a burst of positive energy this week from the passing of a green Scooby Doo type van labeled Reclaim Roadshow. Some tweets were spotted about their current online […]
This was done pretty much over breakfast and I bet I spend more time writing this blog post than it took to code a new addition to the media supported by the SPLOTbox WordPress theme. Blame/Credit DS106. I’m on a little self dare to try and do the DS106 Daily Create every day, done over […]
Amongst the holiday time come for me a wee bit of time to attend to more minor code bits in my WordPress SPLOT themes that will likely rarely be noticed. For those that actually still use their WordPress sites, you likely as well do not notice that when you go to tag a post, WordPress […]
As best I can find from old posts, I started messing around with making a WordPress theme to provide a functionality of the ds106 Assignment Bank in July of 2013. So while lumped in as a SPLOT, it was actually pre-SPLOT. Like anyone cares. But it’s really one of my favorites to use in projects […]
I may have to put on my code dog cone of shame for finding out I was missing a feature in the SPLOT themes that should have been there a long time ago. But shame is for silly humans, so I just shook it off, and went about fixing it. This came about in conversation […]
File this in the tiny bits of code of almost nil importance. But it also reinforces that in building things like my SPLOT themes for other people, I’m not totally in the power to foresee all the things people will try. One of the “features” built into TRU Writer, TRU Collector, and SPLOTbox is an […]
It’s about time. Thank you, WordPress version 5.5. A subtle new feature appeared, I only glanced after running the update on one of my sites. Those themes you install directly from WordPress have long been easy to update, it’s done in one click (and now can be set to autoupdate). But for themes you upload […]
Maybe it’s not much news to have a media uploader used in a WordPress site… but what if I said you can do that on a site without needing an account or a trip to the ugly dashboard? That’s been a big round of improvements over the last 3 months, a revamp of the TRU […]
