What makes a good web host?

16 Sep, 2010

I’ll admit it, I have A.D.D when it comes to technology. There’s always something new, someone cheaper, or something shiny that grabs my attention. But new isn’t always better. As I’m writing this post, I’m having conversations with my web host, A Small Orange, over high CPU performance. It seems that something on my WordPress […]

Me & WordPress vs Google Page Speed & YSlow

6 Jul, 2010

Google's Site Performance Analysis

If it’s not one thing, it’s another. It seems that I can’t stop tweaking my WordPress install & settings. I’ve done some major re-working of things on the back-end and I’m hoping I didn’t break anything. If I did, please tell me! The bulk of my changes are to help with my site speed addiction. […]

WordPress 3 Login Error Animation – No No No

17 Jun, 2010

It’s a small new feature in WordPress 3 but a fun one. On the login screen, if you enter your username or password incorrectly, it shakes the screen at you in a disapproving manor. “No no no, that’s just not right” is what WordPress is telling you. I wonder how many other small, but fun, […]

Speeding Up WordPress Starts With Plugin Developers

11 May, 2010

I’ve recently been looking at Google’s speed test tool and working to increase the speed of some of the sites I interact with daily. Where as there are things that we, as blog owners, can control, a lot of speeding up WordPress falls in the hands of plugin developers. Here is what WordPress plugins developers […]

New URLs & Lots of Patients

26 Apr, 2010

Blog Traffic

For some time I’ve wanted to remove the month, day, year from my URL structure on my blog but I haven’t. Everything I’ve ever learned about SEO is to not change the URLs. However I really wanted to. Then, late last week, my host somehow blocked Google bot from accessing the server I’m on and […]

What Happened to Ecto? The Best Mac Desktop Blogging Tool.

4 Feb, 2010

Do you remember Ecto? It was the most best desktop blogging tool on the Mac. It supported multiple blogs, had Flickr & Amazon integration, along with iLife and so much more. But there hasn’t been a software update in about a year and there is no news on the site. It’s been quiet, to quiet. […]

Hello WordPress 2.7

13 Dec, 2008

A quick post to say I just upgraded WordPress to 2.7 and I’m loving the admin side of things. Overall it seems more responsive which is nice in itself. The new admin menu layout is a welcome change as well and the color scheme is easy on the eyes. I’ve only been running it […]

30 Mar, 2008

I took the jump and have upgraded to WordPress 2.5. On the outside, there aren’t any visible differences. Well, if you see any bugs, let me know. The admin side however is completely re-vamped and so nice! There are so may things to talk about that I just don’t have time right now to go […]

I am not a spammer.

11 Nov, 2007

It seems that something or someone found a hole one in one of my WordPress installs and started sending out spam early this morning. My host then shut me down completely and this site was suspended for several hours on Sunday because I was spamming. 🙁 We are back up and running now but not […]
