My wife and I recently upgraded our phones and I now have a Blackberry… I’ve been getting it set up slowly, but surely. The latest app I installed is from WordPress and enables me to post and edit posts and pages as well as review and approve comments. So, while I am able to become [...]

A new site of mine will require authors to login, but rather than having them see the normal WordPress logo on the login page, I replaced it with my own. This is also a good idea if you’re building a site for a client, so you can give them their own branded login page. It’s [...]

Prior to starting drivelocity.com, I was a relative noob to blogging and only used WordPress plugins in moderation. I’m really enjoying using them and the freedom they provide. Here is a list of plugins that I’ve tried recently & enjoy using.

Automatic Links – Automatically adds HTML anchor tags to plain text links and email addresses [...]

I think I’ve used WordPress MU (multi-user) longer than I’ve used regular WordPress, but my use of MU (on another site) is at an end. I’ve finally had enough of dealing with sploggers. Actually, I simply can’t keep up with them. And, I don’t want to try. By their winning, everyone lost. They were finally [...]

After upgrading some other blogs to WordPress 2.8 and having only a few minor problems, I’ve decided to upgrade drivelocity.com too. Unfortunately, it took several tries to get the automatic upgrade to work, but it finally took, and everything appears to be working correctly. Please let me know if you see any problems.
The only real [...]

Version 2.8 of the popular blogging and CMS platform, WordPress, is now available for download or upgrade. I see the notice staring at me while I type this, though I’m reluctant to start upgrading all of my blogs. I haven’t seen nearly as much news and hype as when version 2.7 was released, which also [...]

I’ve been using the Tweet This plugin for a little while now. I’m not sure of the results, but I liked the idea of it. Unfortunately, I’ve had to deactivate it today as it was generating errors while attempting to add new posts. Here is the error I received:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 [...]

The theme I use for drivelocity.com is nice in that it has some built-in functions like the tabs for Latest Posts, Latest Comments and Tags. I wanted something similar on another blog, but the theme didn’t have it built in. I tried copying the code from this theme over and wasn’t able to easily get [...]

Lately, I’ve been seeing some plugins updated almost daily. It really makes me wonder… Are they tested before release? It’s not a big deal if you have one blog, but if you have several, it can be a major chore to keep them all updated. And, if an update causes problems, you can be in [...]

I’ve voiced my opinion of Twitter and how I’m sure nobody cares that it’s an hour before lunch, I’m starving and I have no idea what I have to eat at home. But, with a new current events based project I’m working on, Twitter seems to be a good match.
Here are some tools I’ve found [...]
