Some more on WPRemix3
After using WPRemix3 for around two months, I found myself getting tired of working with some issues that it had in my installation. The Support admin at WPRemix.com was fair and quick to point out that my installation of Wordpress had probably been corrupted at some point and was making WPR act inconsistently.
So, to [...]
Secure your installation of WordPress
Lately, I’ve been noticing a lot more attacks on WordPress installations I’ve set up. Images and false addresses have been injected into various folders and files. So I’ve been reviewing a lot of general security procedures to ensure that such occurrences don’t happen again.
I also found a great presentation which documents various techniques for really [...]

On “Designing Obama”
I had the opportunity to meet and listen to Scott Thomas discuss his role managing the Obama campaign, the experience, the design insights, and the analytics that went in to the whole thing.

A review of Wordpress Theme WPRemix3…
So after spending many hours re-writing and developing InBloom, I relaunched the site using Wordpress as a CMS. I also wanted to save myself the headache and purchase an out-of-the-box / “premium” theme for Wordpress to save myself the time of developing a new theme from scratch. I looked at various options including Thematic, Thesis, [...]
This house has been upgraded
to both Leopard and Wordpress 2.5 So far, everything works splendidly. More to come soon.
UPDATE
Ok, so maybe it hasn’t worked out “splendidly” but the transition to Leopard has proved more fruitful than I thought it would. Most notably, Quick Look is a lifesaver and a MUST for anyone having to consistently open MS [...]

This just in…
I still don’t get podcasting… even the good ones. I find most radio broadcasters stale and unentertaining, and to think that there are more people (thousands, if not millions) that look to enter the fray just kinda boggles me. Podcasts aren’t visual mediums but purely aural ones that depend on not only what [...]

Why Blog?
Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one.
- Nora Ephron (in The Huffington Post)
I looked at that and just thought: Wow!
Would it be fair to answer the question: “Because I Can.”
I try not to take large political stabs at anyone really on this space of the web, there are more [...]

Tweaked
Before doing any serious upgrading to Wordpress 2.0, which I’m debating, I managed to tweak the site a bit using some tips care of Paul Stamatiou. Go check it out.
Also, I love footers with this style (care of Tauqil.com). Expect to see something like this in both Elvgren and Taft! With a [...]
