I logged into my WordPress install this evening, not really having anything on my mind to blog about, until I saw a link to this — Do You Remember Your First Blog Post? WordPress gives me an aggregation of links to some WordPress-related blogs. At one time I had a plugin installed that simply blockedContinue reading “On My First Blog Post”

On WordPress Bugs, Not Features
“It’s a feature, not a bug!” It’s a classic line. A Microsoft line. About how bugs in software aren’t really bugs, they’re undocumented features. WordPress 2.6 has a new feature called “Post Revisions.” Basically, every time you edit a post, you can “roll back” the post and undo changes, as users can with Wikipedia. ItContinue reading “On WordPress Bugs, Not Features”
On Future Proofing
Our story begins a little more than a month ago. A young woman posted on the WordPress support fora that she wanted to move her blog to WordPress, and she needed to know if it would be possible to bring her website’s design over as well. My curiosity was piqued, and seeing an opportunity toContinue reading “On Future Proofing”
On Resuming Normal Service
And now, after Retro Weekend, we resume normal blogging service. Who knows? Maybe in a couple of months, I’ll feel the need for another Retro Weekend, I’ll put some Creedance in the old stereo, and we’ll rock out again like it’s 1999. 😆 In the meantime, though, I need coffee. And a good descruffyfication. InContinue reading “On Resuming Normal Service”
On a Retro Weekend
When I was a kid, way back in the early ’80s, a local radio station — Q101, in Harrisonburg, Virginia — used to have “Hot Wax Weekends.” They’d pull music out of the vault and turn back the clocks. It was on a Hot Wax Weekend that I discovered Creedence Clearwater Revival. I first heardContinue reading “On a Retro Weekend”
On Upgrading WordPress
Moving to WordPress 2.6 was not one of the easy upgrades. However, I’m not sure that the fault was with the software. At least, not initially. I downloaded the archive, and got my files in order, reader to upload to my server. And away the files went. WordPress has lots of files. All told, itContinue reading “On Upgrading WordPress”
On Things to Do
Upgrade to WordPress 2.6 Finish coding new layout for website Those should keep me busy for the next day or so.
On Bloggery
It’s possible that someone browsing through my website in, oh, the past twelve hours came across a really different look for the blog. Something… pink. There’s a story there. Yesterday afternoon, while checking out the WordPress support forums, I found a post from someone asking how difficult it would be to port her theme forContinue reading “On Bloggery”
On Firefox Follies
On Tuesday the Mozilla Corporation decided to set a world-record for number of downloads in a day for their new Firefox 3 web browser. Even though I love Opera and would never, ever part from it, I decided I would do my part and download Firefox 3, to help Mozilla set their record. Of course,Continue reading “On Firefox Follies”
On Modifying Vertigo
After getting several e-mails and comments from readers asking how I did this or made that work with the Vertigo theme for WordPress, I’ve decided to share the modifications. This ZIP file contains six files — modified versions of functions.php, index.php, and comments.php for the Vertigo 3-Column theme, index.php for Vertigo 2-Column, and a TagContinue reading “On Modifying Vertigo”
