Not that it’s that blog worthy that as maybe the most frequent SPLOT user, “I Did It Again”, but I thought this concept was nifty. Timely. Perhaps even resonating. And I am also going to violate the rules I set out by blogging it, but I think the site as crested (as in a tiny […]
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 […]
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 […]
I have a button in my truck that no longer works. I have the full knowledge of how to use it, have done so often, but really have no clue what really goes on under the hood when I click it. That goes for interface buttons too. And that’s design, no matter how complex things […]
This is kind of a big deal for SPLOTs… but then again I thought the plugin version was, and that made nary a ripple. Maybe I need to write an open textbook (SNAP!). A brand new version of the TRU Writer SPLOT WordPress Theme is now available sitting tapping its thumbs waiting for you. It’s […]
It might seem counter intuitive to remove from the WordPress dashboard the menu items that allow a user to create posts. Or crazy. But follow my weaving here. This all started when Dave Cormier picked up my call to try a SPLOT. Well, I actually whinged Dave wasted little time! But in no time quick […]
It’s SPLOT season around this blog. Or maybe it’s Fire Up The Stale Blog season. Regardless. I kind of thought the release of demos and first generation code for the TRU Writer SPLOT as a WordPress plugin was a big deal. It was for me! I had said long ago that I did not think […]
It’s a work in progress, but check out this version of the TRU Writer SPLOT that is no longer tied to the original’s Radcliffe theme (hit the write menu item to try it). All SPLOTs are single purpose tools, most built as WordPress themes stuffed with custom functionality… technically they are child themes that utilize […]
I’d say a good tool is one you do not have to wait for MasterCraftCompanyInc to make a feature for you, when there are pathways to hone it yourself. This follows up somewhat to my ode to WordPress as HyperCard re-incarnated, but also just what happens when I get an unexpected idea from reading someone’s […]
