Try ScribeFire - it’s nice
Finally - I’ve succumbed to a browser plugin editor for WordPress. I’m an old fashioned guy and tend to stick to the core admin theme, and core editor just… because. But frustration at switching accounts and waiting 20 minutes for the ‘add hyperlink’ panel to appear (ok I exaggerate) started getting to me. So this [...]
new window, or not new window
I got in a heated argument in the pub last night about hyperlinks. I know. Geek. Capital G.
Anyway. Apparently I’m an egomaniac because I sometimes target links at a new window. I’m up there with war criminals and drug dealers. I am, not to put too fine a point on it, evil.
In my defence I [...]

prologue in practice
The hype and anti-hype around the prologue theme has been sizeable. And to an extent justified. I’m loving the ’secure twitter’ feel of it. Where I worked on a number of projects almost exclusively in IM - I’m now working on a couple in a prologue environment and I have to say, it is MUCH [...]
tag this - scary but fun

“How and who the hell will tag my old articles?” Tags are awesome
Can’t argue with that. I’m testing this on another blog [...]
copyright violation nonsense
Another great post on lorelle - this time about
confusion between wordpress the software and wordpress the host / ISP. How often do I have to explain THIS one to people!
If you only remember one line - remember this one “Going after WordPress in this instance is like going after Microsoft for copyright violation of content [...]
im in ur theme - stylin ur blog
I love lolcats and fails and funny stuff like this. I’m working on a theme to allow authors to upload an image, give the post a title, and have an auto constructed lolcat image.
Using a combination of flash image and text replacement code, and good old fashioned CSS. If anyone knows of anything existing along [...]
Akismet just saved me hours
Wordpress guy has been a bit lazy & distracted recently. I haven’t been updating here as often as I would have liked for a loooong time. This has led to a bit of a spam problem building up. Akismet to the rescue.
Looking at my Comments tab I see masses of unmoderated comments, the majority are [...]
