Social Tools in My Toolbox

Published August 6, 2008 | By admin

This is a incomplete, random list of tools I use with social networks. Not that I know what I am doing quite yet with social networks. It will take a while. I am just an app, software, and addon junky. So I look for software all the time and usually find something. Be sure and add your own in comments. I will probably try all of them.

First, I would like to invite all of you to Social Median, a different sort of network. It works like Digg, because stories can be "clipped" and commented on. It works like FriendFeed because you follow other "News Makers" and has groups. And it’s new and for some reason I can’t stay away. Read more...

A Random Walk Through WordPress Plugins

Published July 29, 2008 | By admin

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.

So today I took a random walk though the WordPress plugin repository just to see what’s up. No search terms. Just some browsing. And here are some cool plugins I found.

Ad-Minister

A complex ad serving and content plugin. It supports ad-rotation, scheduling, and works with widgets.

Positioning Images and Javascript in Blog Posts

Published July 8, 2008 | By admin

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 on the left. And fonts. Forget fonts. A manual typewriter had better fonts. Read more...

Let Your WordPress Plugins and Themes do their own updating

Published October 11, 2007 | By admin

OneClick Framework | Daily Usability

I am going to have to add this one. I have about ten plugins that need updating. Unfortunately, to do it through one-click, I still have to find the plugin in one-click’s list, delete it, and then add the new. I guess with this one, you won’t have to go through all those steps. We will see.

Feedburner Feedsmith Plugin Security Issue

Published October 9, 2007 | By admin

Burning Questions • The FeedSmith Plugin: newly fortified as part of this delicious breakfast

And you should probably get it pretty soon, since it’s a security release.

Some WordPress plugins that permit the entry of user-entered values, such as older versions of FeedSmith, can be vulnerable to what is called a "cross-site request forgery." Without getting overly technical, this permits someone to change WordPress plugin settings on your system without you noticing during the time you are signed into your WordPress control panel. And no one wants that.

Moving Day

Published October 5, 2007 | By admin

This is going to be a quick post of thing I will be doing this weekend, if possible.

I am going to be moving this blog over the weekend. I will still try to post during the process. And I may take advantage of the Drupal WordPress Module. I wind then run this blog on the front page of a Drupal installation and work on Drupal in the background over the next few months. There will be so much more I can do with the two together.
