Things can go crazy for you when your parents go changing… especially when that’s a change in a WordPress parent theme. This might be important for you if you have used the TRU Writer SPLOT theme. I got a message from Tim Owens about a site where the featured images disappeared; there was an error […]
Of all the SPLOTs I worked in with Brian Lamb the TRU Writer one (which I start calling the SPLOT Writer) is easily a favorite. It was not the first one, but the first one that had quick uses out of the gate as a way to create a site where people could create a […]
From the start of SPLOTs we recognized an inherent problem with not asking for people who use them to create accounts / share info– there would be no way for them to modify what they wrote or shared once it was put in. The same thing happened with the UDG Agora version of the DS106 […]
Twas almost a year ago at the start of my fellowship at TRU that I started what would become the TRU Writer SPLOT, a tool I think has some legs, and maybe arms. This is on the heels of some demos Brian did last week at the 2015 ETUG Fall Workshop and what we will […]

In a bit of a self test, I am using the TRU Writer SPLOT tool to build a collection of papers I have published: This is a little different from […]
In some reference of software design, there’s a process where you figure out all the features you might need, plant it all out neatly, build it, and then go into some cycle of testing and debugging. Then you roll it out, tweet it, and … well I don’t really know how it works. In my […]
Saying I am excited is an understatement for the tinkering that has produced the previously described TRU Writer site. I spent time on a Friday night just fiddling with functionality no one will ever notice. In summary, the notion of the SPLOTs I am working on here at TRU with Brian Lamb is… well here […]
