Your Business Card as a Web Page

March 2, 2010

Have a look at Flavors.me. This link goes to the pro­file I made for myself. I think it’s great. Like hav­ing a busi­ness card online with­out any­thing else like a blog or forum. It’s a quick intro­duc­tion, like a business card.

Picons: Your Personal Icon

February 23, 2010

Picons are an old idea that can be new again. A picon is a per­sonal icon. Much like the fav­i­con cre­ated for a site or blog, the picon is for your­self. Another chance to use the pop­u­lar self brand­ing plan. Have you already got a picon which you use to rep­re­sent your­self, an avatar? If […]

Fixed my WordPress List Formatting Glitch

January 28, 2010

I’ve made a few list posts, mostly bul­let style. The prob­lem was the for­mat­ting, all my points were crammed together in a solid block of text. It made the post kind of unsightly and not very easy (or desir­able) to read. If I tried to add a space it would try to make it my […]

Nominated for Best Twitter Bio

January 5, 2010

What do you have for your Twit­ter bio? It’s the space you have on your Twit­ter pro­file to say some­thing about your­self. Not a lot of space, it is Twit­ter after all.
I nom­i­nate @DPop­Tart for best Twit­ter bio.
The wind says my name. It doesn’t put an @ in front of it, so maybe you don’t notice.
Now that […]

November 23, 2009

I’ve been hav­ing trou­ble upload­ing graph­ics into my posts. It started awhile ago when I updated to another ver­sion of Word­Press. I ignored it for awhile cause I wasn’t doing a lot of draw­ing at the time. Then I tried to fix it, no suc­cess. I couldn’t even fig­ure out the prob­lem. Each time I […]

Copy in Plain Text Firefox Plugin

November 20, 2009

Copy Plain Text: A plu­gin for Fire­fox that lets you copy in plain text. Very nice! It’s exper­i­men­tal so still beta and you may find it does not work for you, or does not work in every case. But the idea is great! If you have ever used con­tributed con­tent from another source and find […]

Do You Shut Down Comments on Old Posts?

November 12, 2009

Do you have your com­ment spam fil­ter set to auto­mat­i­cally delete any com­ments on older posts? While this will get rid of a lot of spam for you it also could delete some real com­ments.
We have posts in our archives which we leave for any­one to find, through search­ing or through links on other sites. […]

Are Blog Archives Too Old Fashioned?

November 6, 2009

What are rea­sons to keep an archive on your blog? We have cat­e­gories and tags. An archive may seem a bit pre­his­toric or overkill, espe­cially when they aren’t search able and just sit there all sta­tic and grow­ing old. Tony Bri­ley started this dis­cus­sion on the CMF Ads forum.
Rea­sons for keep­ing an archive on your blog:

Eye of Newt, Rule of Thumb and Hands of the Clock…

November 4, 2009

It’s a bit dis­ap­point­ing to go to a favourite blog and find they have no new updates at the time you expect them to be there.
What time do you make your blog posts? Even if you don’t choose (or have avail­able) sched­uled blog posts you can pick a good time for mak­ing a post go live […]

I still like adding sites, car­ing for and main­tain­ing a list for a topic I am pas­sion­ate about. How­ever, it […]

Word­Press plu­g­ins that I love but don’t really need. (Why limit your­self to plu­g­ins you need?)
