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 […]
Tiled surfaces are classy. And after doing one the method is learned quickly. Without knowing I was looking for it I found a seriously awesome WordPress plugin that I can see making a lot of use of. The first was a quick way to add a feature to a prototype SPLOT. Okay, so I am […]
I’m SPLOT tinkering and feel a wave of totally un-necessary but irresistible song plays… How does it feel to be One of the beautiful splots How often have you added video Often enough to know What did you format when you were there Everything that WordPress can Captions you’re a rich text Captions you’re a […]
A poorly wrapped present for 2018, a new SPLOT. It’s really more of an extension, the SPLOT Box is an extension/update of the older TRU Sounder one (made for building collections of audio content). As a media “jukebox-ish” thing, this one can offer a site to share/collection audio content (uploaded mp3, ogg, m4a), URL links […]
Sometimes you choose a member for the front line of your WordPress site that just ends up not playing well. As alluded to in Swapping Out Sputtering SPLOT Plugins a plugin I suggested for the two calling card themes I developed this year, WP-Dimension and WP-Big Picture turned out to be a bad player. I […]
I have grand SPLOT plans for the holidays. Huh? I hope to spend some time cleaning up a number of relatively minor issues with existing SPLOTs, maybe add a new one or two (I did say grand), update the Instant SPLOT recipes (and test them out more to troubleshoot some reported issues). It’s not too […]
Look out 2018, SPLOTs are gonna be in ya. I’ve had a great twitter conversation with Daniel Villar at Coventry University’s Disruptive Media Learning Lab where he has been working on their Domain of One’s Own efforts as coventry.domains. It appears he has a fondness for SPLOTs too. He put the Image Collector one to […]
One day, future educational technologist yearlings will gaze up in earnest to their parental units, and say, “Mommy, Daddy, will you tell me the origin of SPLOT story again?” Imagination at work. It’s been beyond rewarding to see the results of an idea I likely initially laughed at over a beer in Kamloops spread and […]
Plus hair tearing. Cussing. Going away from it and getting sleep. And some things you don’t learn from an Hour of Code. There is not heaps of science in my computing. I got a (polite) email request for help from Brian Lamb. He was seeing (and confirmed) error reports from the TRU Writer SPLOT, on […]
It’s good to have short cuts. I’m a mad spree of code update for my pile of WordPress themes I plan to use in my workshops down under. One thing I noticed in my own dog-fooding with the SPLOTpoint I built as a presentation platform. The navigation between “slides” is way down at the bottom: […]
