If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! I subscribe to a few magazines. Any magazine that is totally devoted to the Internet is hard to find. When I find one, I subscribe. The internet to me is almost a blur of information. I process it [...]

And it was a mother. This was why I wait so long to update.
First, I made sure that all my plugins were current, but it turns out that this new version of Wordpress is a big change and it really didn’t matter if they were current because a lot were not going to work.

This is [...]

Right now, for some reason, I can’t access my Wordpress admin. Well, I can. In one way. I can click around on the top menu. The thing is that, nothing appears below as I do this.

The cause: rebuilding my PHP install to add new modules.
The solution: I have no clue until I start sniffing around [...]

Writing Down the Bones
If you have not read this book, do so now. It was written by Natalie Goldberg. It will change your attitude about writing and is my backpack, wherever I go. Does writer’s block happen? Is it a cop out? The answers don’t really matter when you are facing a blank page and [...]

Wordpress plugins don’t stop coming. My initial idea with this blog was to build a set of plugins and then once I thought I was set, download the plugin folder and use it for my other blogs. But, like I said, the cool plugins keep on coming.

I figured I had to go over the top with this one. Not quite sure if I have. You tell me.

I cover a lot of topics and read a lot of blogs. Up until recently, I had them all in one folder in my feed reader. Then I broke them up into folders. That took some thought and until then, I really had no idea what all my interests are. After that two hour organizing [...]

I have been so wrapped up lately trying to replace desktop software with web apps that I haven’t looked into desktop feed readers for a long time. I used Firefox live marks until I realized that 700 feeds will slow down the browsing experience.
After that I went to Google Reader and have kept my [...]

There are times I have had pretty good luck with just taking off with a topic and coming out on the other side with a post. This morning was not one of those times. But I knew. I could feel it.
Even though that is my favorite way to right a post, it didn’t work. I [...]

I wrote HTML before they really made any good editors for it, back in the old days of 64 colors or however many there were back then. Tables were the only option. You could place something anywhere you wanted to in a page as long as it was in the center, on the right or [...]
