  • Some Thoughts On WordPress 2.6 (and Plugins Galore) - Part One

    Posted on Tuesday July 29th, 2008 at 20:36 in Cool Tools, Site updates

    Now that I’ve updated this site from WordPress 2.0.2 to version 2.6, and completed migrating my theme changes from the old theme, I thought I would devote an article or two to some of the things I learned during that process — and at the ...

  • Site Updates!!

    Posted on Friday July 18th, 2008 at 08:12 in atlanta, Cool Tools, Site updates

    Last night I updated this site to the most recent version of WordPress. I ran the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin with great success, first using it on my still-under-construction photoblog — afewgoodlenses.com — then holding my breath...

  • Change Your WordPress Admin Password!

    Posted on Sunday April 13th, 2008 at 12:22 in blogroll, Site updates

    For the past couple of weeks, I had noticed that most of the Google ads appearing on the home page of my site were for credit card offers, credit repair services, credit-no-matter-how-much-your-credit-sucks offers, and so on … and I was puzzled...

  • Site Changes Complete, or: Now We Resume Our Regular Programming…

    Posted on Sunday September 16th, 2007 at 15:32 in Site updates

    … well, not programming exactly;  we (meaning: I) have spent way too much time on that today as it is. However, I have gotten the load time on the home page of this site way, way down … from about 16-18 seconds to a pretty consistent...

  • Upcoming Site Changes: or, It’s a Bit Too Crowded Around Here

    Posted on Saturday September 15th, 2007 at 23:26 in Site updates

    I’m going to be making a few changes to the home page of this site over the next day or so, so apologies in advance to anyone who stops by and notices some wonky behavior. I plan to move the Blogroll and My News sections out of the sidebars and...

  • Spreading the News

    Posted on Sunday September 2nd, 2007 at 10:05 in Site updates

    I’ve made an additional update to this site, adding headlines from my Newsgator Online feeds to the sidebar at the far right. Adding headlines is quite easy, and builds on the procedure I described in my article Creating a Semi-Automatic Newsga...

  • Creating a Semi-Automatic Newsgator Blogroll on Your WordPress Blog

    Posted on Saturday September 1st, 2007 at 21:21 in Site updates, blogrolling

    I’ve updated the blogroll on this site to display home pages from my Newsgator Online feeds, instead of using the blogroll link functions available with WordPress. Nearly all of the websites or blogs I visit regularly have RSS feeds, so they ma...

    Posted on Friday August 10th, 2007 at 21:27 in Site updates

    A few site updates and some housekeeping notes…. I’ve added the social bookmarking button available from the Add This! site to each post. I’ve also added a Mybloglog “Recent Readers” widget to the sidebar. I’m not...

    Posted on Monday July 9th, 2007 at 20:55 in Site updates, featured books

    I’ve added a new feature to the far right sidebar, My Flickr Slideshows, which will run Flickr slideshows for each of my photo sets. The slideshows will open in a new tab or window, depending on your browser, and you can either click the slides...
