Removing Broken Links
Following Neil’s example, I am removing broken links from my WordPress blog using the Broken Link Checker plugin. I wish I hadn’t set it to include comments, as there are a great many broken commenter links, and it’s not my job to keep after people to maintain their website’s structure. Many sites have redirects, and … Continue reading
WordPress.com, and why I don’t use it
Several of my friends have started getting blogs on WordPress.com, the fully-hosted version of the blog software I use on my own site. Most of them moved over from LiveJournal or Blogspot, and most of them are not techie types, or at least not web heads, so a fully hosted solution is perfect for them. … Continue reading
I’m Back
Sorry for anybody who tried to access my website yesterday and couldn’t. I was getting slammed by spammers in Portugal, and as a result Dreamhost decided to cancel all processes. Such is life when you’re on a shared server. Anyway, I think things should be settled down now.
New Design
Somebody commented on my site and said “I love that theme, where is it from?” Of course I had long since forgotten, but the link was at the bottom of the page, so I sent the person to InfoCreek WordPress Themes. As I found the theme I was using – “Aspire” – I discovered another … Continue reading
Thanks, Twitter: Cleanup Required
I’ve been a Twitter user since November 2006. I am a good Twitter citizen, I have lots of people I chat with on a daily basis. Last night I woke up around 1am and went to check Twitter from my iPod, but I couldn’t log in. I opened up my netbook and discovered I’d been … Continue reading
New Lifestream and Xbox
For the past two days I’ve tried out LifeStream, an aggregator for your various feeds like Netflix, Twitter, etc. I like it. I’m going to keep it. It’ll be more “this is my life” than my blog has been in well over a year; I started making fewer posts, and the ones I made were … Continue reading
Testing CellSpin
I’m testing posting via CellSpin. So far it doesn’t have any of the Blackberry’s autotext features, you can’t even double-space to put in a period. It’s the first blog client I’ve seen for the Blackberry, so I’m very interested, but so far it’s cumbersome and also SLOW – it can’t keep up with my typing … Continue reading
Considering Twitter Crossposts
Raise your hand if you would get all cranky if I started doing the daily Twitter crosspost again. Because really, it’s where I communicate the most. I promise I would wipe out all the ones that were replies to other people unless they actually could stand alone as posts. Last time I set this up, … Continue reading
Pardon My SQL Errors
Sorry folks, I just upgraded to WP 2.3 and it’s giving me nasty SQL errors on every post. Hope you can stand to read through that and find the entries. I did get all the UTW tags to convert to the new native tag system though. Woo hoo on that! Unfortunately it doesn’t appear to … Continue reading
