too much information running through my brain

October 27, 2006 – 6:10 pm

So, mostly for the hell of it, I’ve loaded my footer with the output of as much of my activity elsewhere on the interweb that I could think to include. Let’s see if it’s useful, or just information overview overkill.

sandbox with a hemingway-like rich footer

October 27, 2006 – 12:39 pm

So, instead of switching to Hemingway as a new theme, I just made some small tweaks to Sandbox and my accompanying CSS. I’ve been happy so far to be able to do my customizations to Sandbox entirely in an add-on CSS - but this time, I wanted an additional WordPress Widgets sidebar. Sandbox [...]

hemingway theme blocks and widgets

October 26, 2006 – 4:06 pm

So, after reading a comment from Brian Cors and wandering by his site again, I’ve suddenly gotten more interested in the Hemingway theme for WordPress. One problem, though: Although the WordPress Widgets plugin (about which I’ve raved) was based on Hemingway’s Blocks feature, it’s not apparently compatible. So, anyone know how to [...]

we have an akismet piper down!

August 27, 2006 – 2:04 pm

I’ve grown so used to the awesome spam blocker that Wordpress.com includes for free (it comes from Akismet, which is owned by Automattic, the same folks who do Wordpress). But tonight a TON of spam got through. So, I wonder if Akismet is down or if something got horked?Source: Is Akismet down? « Scobleizer [...]

sandbox is nifty

August 21, 2006 – 12:41 pm

I’m really digging the Sandbox theme for WordPress so far. I’ve not really done much yet - but between Sandbox and the new WordPress Widgets, all my customizations for this blog have been done in CSS and drag-n-drop in the widget management screen. Sandbox has an enormously rich set of classes dropped into [...]

about me as a plugin

August 19, 2006 – 3:18 pm

We need both ends of this. We need the social networks to be able to import the data. But we also need the personal blog software to support an “About Me” page that maintains and publishes the master copy.Source: Voidstar - Personal About Me Pages and account creation This sounds like a perfect job for a [...]

I love the lazyweb - post a gripe, get a dozen or more helpful responses. At Terrell Russell’s suggestion I just signed up at claimID, and dropped in the WP widget under the “See Also” header over there in the sidebar. I’m getting ideas from this, but not sure what I might do [...]

no amazon iframes for me

August 18, 2006 – 1:22 am

So here’s a problem that’s cropped up for me lately. I think it came with the upgrade to WP 2.0. I’m trying to include some Amazon-provided iframes in the sidebar for continue book pimping, which worked fine with my WP 1.5 installation. But now, for some reason, the iframes are always forced [...]
