• 06.15.07 WPZipper posted in Web Design

  Just a quick note about a new site: wpzipper.com. It allows you to put together a pre-configured Wordpress install with your choice of plugins and themes and prepares it for installation. Registering for a free account lets you save configurations for repeat usage. Pretty nifty.

• 06.11.07 UTW-RPC Beta Testers Wanted posted in Geekery

  Are you using the Simple Tagging plugin, running Wordpress 2.2, or maybe both? Want to help beta-test the new UTW-RPC plugin (the one that incorporates the Robin-Lu Hack to allow tagging to work in TextMate, ecto, et al)? It handles both Ultimate Tag Warrior and Simple Tagging plugins with seamless switching and no user configuration. The plugin has been updated to incorporate all of the changes in the xmlrpc.php file in Wordpress 2.2 but is still backwards compatible with 2.1.3. The Autotag bundle has also been updated for TextMate bloggers who use any of the above combinations. If you’re interested in an advance copy of the plugin, bundle or both, let me know, I’d like to get the kinks worked out before release.

• 06.11.07 Autotag WP2.2 Compatible posted in Web Design, Geekery

  For those blogging with Autotag, I finally got around to testing with Wordpress 2.2. It works! Now I’m working on an updated version of both UTW-RPC and Autotag that will work with the Simple Tagging plugin as well as Ultimate Tag Warrior. I’m setting it up to automatically determine which plugin is active and use that for the tag functions. It should be ready this week.

• 06.08.07 Moving Wordpress Redux posted in Web Design, Geekery

  Well, nothing like a comment on your blog from the creator of Wordpress to make you feel silly… It turns out my work in making it simpler to move Wordpress from server to server was somewhat in vain, considering the ability to override the database settings through wp-config.php is built in to Wordpress 2.2…

• 06.07.07 Project Management with Zoho posted in General

  I’ve been trying out project management options, looking for a way to track everyone’s todo lists, meetings, time and clients in one place. I’ve eventually landed on Zoho Projects and purchased a paid account. I’m really happy with the options it provides and the interface it uses. Here’s a quick rundown…

• 06.05.07 Fine Tuned 404 posted in Web Design

  As part of the Circle Six redesign, I culled the portfolio and in the process broke just about every link that Google had indexed. A new sitemap and some redirect pages are taking care of SEO, but in the interim, a lot of visitors are getting 404 pages. So I borrowed a tip from the blog and added a suggest feature to the C6 404 page…
