  • WordPress Named Best Web App of the Year

    Congrats to the WordPress crew. ArsTechnica named it the #1 web-based application of the year. I really do like tinkering with WordPress and look forward to multi-blog support (I think that’ll sky-rocket WP into the stratosphere): WordPress is the most prominent rising star of weblog software, completely free and with a large and active community.

  • Archives/Categories Page in WordPress with Kubrick

  • Blog URL Forwarding

    Instead of giving people the cryptic link that is hard to remember / type, I registered an easy-to-remember URL with GoDaddy ($8.95/year) and set it to Forward to my blog.

    I’ve had this gathering dust in my attic for a while and wanted to be sure and blog it. [A]n example of an entirely new economic model for the media and entertainment industries, one that is just beginning to show its power….
