Tags plugin progress update

I’ve adapted the admin UI for tagging posts from the cat2tag plugin Dan mentioned earlier, as well as adding my own features, including support for adding tags on the fly that contain spaces, as well as auto-tagging. By this I mean that as I am typing (or if I open an old post for editing), [...]

New Tag Cloud plugin

I’m now using the WordPress categories as tags, and I made a plugin to do a Flickr-like weighted tag link section instead of my old categories links. Now I just have to go back and update all the old posts. I’ve gotten through the most recent 100 so far - only 450 more to go!

Titles in WordPress RSS comments

Here is a quick plugin that will do this. Based on Dan’s hack here.
Hacks == bad
Plugins/filters == good
UPDATE - this is obsolte, as of WordPress 2.0

Fear of Googling

This is a conversation Dan and I have had before, and Dan commented on it again recently (in response to a request by Dave to remove a comment on here), so I thought I’d bring it up for discussion.
The issue is worrying about other people reading what you have written in the future and getting [...]

I wonder why

my comment RSS doesn’t include comments from pages (and thus the tagboard) while others (Dan & Dave) do. One more thing to look into.

WordPress Tagboard Plugin

It’s finally ready! Since the time that I first mentioned it here, I haven’t really done anything about it, but Dan brought it to my attention that my post about it was #1 on Google for “wordpress tagboard” (it’s not anymore), so I figured that I better get on it. I ended up staying up [...]

Podcasting

I brought this idea up with Dan, and wanted to bring it up here for public discussion. I’ve been listening to various “podcasts” lately (even though I really hate that term), and thinking about doing one myself, just for fun, with the help of Dan and/or whoever else would want to be involved.
For those not [...]

Apple and Intel

Thread hijacking is the art of taking a forum discussion thread wildly off topic in the space of a single post.
While this can be an intentional act of trolling, it is often accidental - caused by other participants in the discussion responding to a throwaway remark, taking the thread off at a tangent to the [...]

Why Plesk sucks

or “Lesson’s learned from Dan’s weekend”
I’ll start this out by saying that I am in the market for a VPS hosting plan, such as the one that inspired this post (although I probably won’t go with 1and1, they seem a little pricey), since my one-year payment with my current host will be coming up [...]

Belated congratulations

to Dan and Sara for (finally) welcoming Avery into the world!
I can’t wait to have my kids teach her a bunch of Mac-bashing jokes. (Assuming the Mac is still around in a couple years, that is).
