If you don’t see me posting as often to this blog, it’s because my office uses Websense and now drivelocity is blocked. I hope to find a way around it soon. Suggestions are welcome

I sincerely apologize for the downtime. The issue should finally be resolved. A missing file that the .htaccess file was looking for caused the site to show a blank white page. Apparently, the permalinks structure had also somehow gotten changed. I think we’re good now. I just need to check my other sites to make [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I decided to check out the services offered by PerformancingAds.com not too long ago… Like Bidvertiser, PerformancingAds provides a way for advertisers to find and advertise on your site. Publishers can earn money, and/or exchange ads with other sites.
I have decided to remove their banner from drivelocity.com for two reasons:
First, it slowed down the load [...]

I think I’ve emailed those that I needed to to let them know that this site now has a Page Rank on Google. But, in case you’re interested, and didn’t get the message, drivelocity.com has achieved a PR3.
It’s not a bad starting point, but moving beyond that with a newer site can be difficult. I [...]

I was going to wait until I was sure the bugs were worked out of Wordpress 2.7 and possibly hold off on upgrading until 2.7.1 comes out. I was mostly concerned with the theme and plugins making it through okay… I couldn’t help it. I just upgraded drivelocity to 2.7 and it appears that everything [...]

Now that drivelocity has been up for a couple months now, I’ve had a chance to learn more about WordPress plugins, beyond the standard ones I’d used in the past. I now have ten plugins that I feel are must-haves, so I’ve expanded my Five Favorite WordPress Plugins list to include the new ones, several [...]

I’ve seen a fair number of blogs using CommentLuv, so I decided to check it out…
What is CommentLuv?
CommentLuv is a WordPress plugin that helps give incentive to visitors to post comments on your blog. Rather than simply giving them only one URL to their site, CommentLuv adds another option when someone posts a comment. You [...]

WordPress states that 2.7 RC1 is ready for everyone to download and try out…
I love WordPress as much as the next blogger, but the sheer number of updates frustrates me to no end. I couldn’t imagine trying to keep several blogs 100% up-to-date. It seems like they just released 2.6.5 right after I upgraded to [...]
