I find the right bookmark synchronizer for FireFox. One of the features I immediately missed when I switched from Safari to Firefox was bookmark synchronization. I use two different Macintoshes on a daily basis — my desktop Mac at the office and my little PowerBook — and it really bugged me that they didn’t Continue reading Foxmarks Bookmark Synchronizer April 20th, 2006
A plugin goes bad and causes weird side effects. I was checking e-mail and moderating comments on this blog early this morning. (I’m a morning person.)

I’m having second thoughts about that gravatar feature. Last Saturday, I added a gravatar feature to this site. As I discussed in this article, the gravatar image for anyone who had one would automatically appear when they wrote a comment on this site. Just a kind of cool and funky way to add more Continue reading Gravatars Update April 16th, 2006

I create a Page template that lists RSS feeds by category. As you can probably tell by the number of WordPress-related posts I’ve written today, I spent most of the day tweaking WordPress. My last tweak of the day was to create a Page template for RSS feeds. You can view it by clicking Continue reading RSS Feeds Page April 15th, 2006
I make it possible to subscribe to the RSS feed for a specific book support site. I use a WordPress plugin (of course) called UsersOnline to monitor site visitors. The plugin identifies what page the user is visiting. When I see a visitor on the “Oops! Page Not Found” page, I can point to Continue reading RSS Feed Links Added to Book Support Sites April 15th, 2006
Or at least I think I did. I should get my head examined. I just added another WordPress plugin. That’s two in about two hours. This one adds gravatars to comments. A gravatar, in case you don’t know, is a globally recognized avatar or image associated with a person. Or, in this case, a Continue reading Added Gravatars to Comments April 15th, 2006
I spend most of a day trying to figure out why I can’t send trackbacks from my blog. If you follow this blog, you’ll know I’m working on a book about WordPress with Miraz Jordan. We split the chapters down the middle, with me getting the first half and Miraz getting the second. One Continue reading Trackback Troubleshooting April 14th, 2006
A good trackback tutorial on another Web site. The tutorial, which is quite clear, can be found at WordPress TrackBack Tutorial. it includes a good deal of information about WordPress’s trackback and pingback features, including what they do and how to use them. I looked up the article because I couldn’t get the feature Continue reading Trackback Tutorial April 11th, 2006
I buy a new iPod accessory. It isn’t the iPod that’s costly. It’s the accessories. Anyway, one of the things I like to do with my iPod is listen to podcasts. The only problem is that I don’t listen to my iPod often enough to keep up with all the podcasts I like to Continue reading i-Fusion April 11th, 2006
I set up posting by e-mail and test it. This is a test to see if posting by e-mail works.

The address is secret because if it weren’t, then anyone Continue reading Posting by E-Mail? April 8th, 2006
Why you shouldn’t include a link to your e-mail address on your Web site.

I put Google Ads back on my sites…reluctantly. I set up Google AdSense about a year ago, never really expecting to make much use of it.
