I’ve upgraded my blog because there just isn’t any way to make sure that my JavaScript Animated Collapsing Categories Widget will work the way I intended to make it work. Well, by and large, things are great. I love the faster posting, better GUI editor, autosave, and lots more. . .
But the darned Link Categories are killing me. I was under the impression that the plugin I made worked, and certainly, it does not crash. Nevertheless, there are a few vexing issues that have cropped up with the new Category regimen.
Here’s the deal: if you install WP2.1 fresh, as [...]
OK, so I’ve completed what is, for all intents and purposes, the first official broadcast of The Flight of the Dragonfly. How do I think it went?
Well, I had seven listeners during the show. Considering the fact that I’ve done about 0 advertising, that’s not too bad, actually. RochesterTurning.com arguably did more (thanks, guys!) There were some technical glitches on BTR’s end (for some reason, I could not call into my phone number for five critical minutes of the show!), but they got worked out and the show started.
Strange, but I felt a bit more self-conscious than I did on [...]
I’ve been half-heartedly watching – and quietly thinking about – the whole John Edwards/Bloggers brew-ha-ha for a while now. Since I don’t personally have any desire to be a campaign blogger or proximity thereof, at first, I didn’t feel as though I had anything to add to the debate, particularly.
Still, something about this whole deal bugged me. Reading the post linked to below, it dawned on me what that was:

Amanda leaving Pandagon to blog for Edwards is a bit like the late Molly Ivins giving up writing her column [...]
Just popping my head into the blog to jot down a quick suggestion for you bloggers out there. If you sometimes feel like you’re completely weighed down by the sheer volume of feeds you need to read (or, believe you need to read), I have a potential solution for you: checkout Bloglines and their “Playlists” option for reading your news.
With playlists, you can have a panel of the five most recent posts for each blog you put into a given playlist, which then get arranged into tiles. You can move your stuff around however you like so that the most [...]
OK, sure. I work for Kodak, now. I suppose I can perhaps be accused of being partial, but then again, if you’re from Rochester and you’re not partial to Kodak, what does that make you?
I’ve had the opportunity to check out Kodak’s new product lines for the digital market since working for the company, and I have to say, I’m quite impressed. I am equally disappointed in our local media for not doing a better job of covering technology news, which might perhaps assuage some of the cynicism about the company and focus the public’s attention on keeping them here [...]
God, I just love, love, LOVE Firefox. Is there a web developer alive out there that disagrees?
While updating my Firebug extension, I noticed that one of the bug fixes for 1.0.1 was a compatibility issue with another extension, the HTML Validator.
“Pray tell,” I asked, “what could this machine be?” Well, as it turns out, its yet another breathtakingly useful tool in the arsenal of a web developer, this one validates a page based on the W3C standards without posting it to the W3C site for the results:
Html Validator for Firefox and Mozilla
HTML Validator is a Mozilla extension that [...]
I tell ya, folks, WP2.1 just keeps getting more and more interesting every time I look into it. If only I had time, I’d upgrade. I’m still working on three projects that have to come first and just got a new gig working for Kodak, so I’m a bit booked.
Here is an interesting discussion of the new “pseudo-chron” functionality added to the latest version of WP. Yep, I can smell some new Widgety-goodness in the works, folks. I just need to find time to do it!
Timing is everything: scheduling in WordPress – Development on a Shoestring
