Some Blog Changes
I have added some changed to the blog which you may or may not have noticed. I started adding linked posts to the blog. These are similar to what John Gruber does over at Daring Fireball. Basically, t...

WordPress Linked List Plugin
WordPress Linked List Plugin allows you to specify WordPress posts that should be treated like an external link with a description. This is similar to what you see on Daring Fireball and some Tumblr b...
WordPress 2.9 Usability Fail
This isn't a tutorial on how to bulk-update/upgrade plugins in WordPress 2.9, just a tip in case many users are confused as to where this much sought-after feature is. It's under Tools -> Upgrade. Ser...
PhoenixBlue Widgetized
Thanks to Kris Britt at Silente.com the PhoenixBlue theme has been widgetized. I've also made a few other minor tweaks to a theme that seems to still be very popular even though I've not had time to u...
Why Habari isn't Ready for Me
I'm writing this post so I don't have to constantly explain my reasoning to everyone in #habari. This is not a post describing how bad Habari is, it is a fine product. It's just not ready for me and I...
WordPress 2.5 Widget Interface
I would like to state that who ever designed the widget interface in WordPress 2.5 is a complete moron. A retarded monkey could have done better. Gone are the days where you just drag and drop widgets...
A Disappearing Community
One of the things that has bugged me over the past year or so with WordPress is that the community seems to be disappearing. Some of the developers have left to create other software and some have jus...
New Theme and New Version
As you probably know by now if you're a WordPress user, WordPress 2.5 came out today. Along with that, WordPress.org received a redesign. I won't say much about the new version, as it seems to be the...
Back...for now
I'm back to using WordPress for now. This is nothing against Habari. I'm just not ready for it. I spent several hours for a few days trying to get things to work the way I wanted them to. The Habari c...
I might be moving this weekend
Dmondark in #habari did me a huge favor and ported the wordpress audio player plugin. That was essentially my last major hurdle I had to overcome in order to switch to Habari. I already have an instal...
Traffic Spike
These past few days I've had a huge influx of traffic. The reason behind it is someone stumbled upon an article I posted back in 2005 and liked it and thus it was shared with thousands upon thousands...
Testing a New Design
I'm testing a new design here. Things can (and probably will) break off and on today. I really like this design and hope I can get it to do everything I want it to do.
WordPress 2.3 is a Joke
Well, let me rephrase. Tagging in WP 2.3 is a joke. Tagging was pulled out of 2.2 because it wasn't ready for prime time. Well, after using 2.3 release candidate, it still is far from prime time. In f...
Automattic: We Change the Rules When We Get Caught
In short, guy has wp.com account, new employee joins with the same name and wants that account name. Automattic takes it (supposedly without notifying current account holder). Guy gets mad and shouts...
If You Liked That (Multiple Category) Plugin
I've been using the If You Liked That plugin for quite a long time. Following the content of a post, this plugin inserts links to a user selectable number of other posts in the same category as the ma...
Is a Switch Coming?
I installed Movable Type 4 on another site of mine and imported all the WordPress posts from this blog. I'm kind of tired of WordPress and the direction it's going (It seems WordPress (as in .org) has...
New Theme
So for the past couple weeks I've been searching for a new theme. You might have stopped by while I was testing some out. I had maybe 3 different themes up over the past few weeks but kept going back...
If You Liked That WordPress Plugin
I really love this plugin. I was using it for a while, then quit because it was displaying the "If you liked that" on pages too. I notified the author and asked if he noticed this and was planning on...
This is Why I'm Hot
No, not because I'm a rapper named Mims, but because I'd changed my site to this sexy new theme. The front page is still basic format as the changes I made a few days ago, just using a new theme. (and...
The Changes
So, you might have noticed some changes in the way the site is laid out. Or maybe you didn't, who knows? Anyway, to tell you a bit about what's going on, I have moved my blog from the sub-directory of...
