Broken WordPress Plugin Woes

Message from the admin: For a couple of days, the WordPress installation at Chiperoni was broken.

Hiding in Full Public View

In January my stats dropped to an all time low. There are a number of reasons, I guess. One reason is that I haven’t been writing much lately. Just an occasional link.

The RSS Footer

One of my regular Google alerts currently points to a blog that is scraping entire sections of my content and displaying these on a Blogspot site. I have reported the Blogspot site via this website: And I’m well aware of the fact that anything I publish on the world wide web is up for grabs.… Continue reading The RSS Footer

Searching for a new, versatile WP theme

I’ve been browsing around (aimlessly) looking at WordPress themes. Uploaded a couple and tried them out, but there’s always something that I don’t like. Typography, comments, additional plugins I need to use the theme. After a while I return to my 3 column version of K2. What I don’t like are hard-coded navigation or list… Continue reading Searching for a new, versatile WP theme

Boxing Day

I’m playing around with WordPress themes today 😉 Currently displaying is a Mac theme to celebrate this year’s move to a MacBook. It snowed a little bit today… about half a millimeter.

White Space

(half-geek plans) Maybe I’ll try out this WordPress theme over the weekend: Whitespace WordPress Theme And I’ve still got to figure out how to install and configure a Tomcat on a Mac. And I still want to install MacFuse and MacFusion

Authentic content

I’ve been reading thru various WordCamp 2007 posts. And I’ve found quite a number of useful tips. This evening I quickly skipped thru Lorelle’s slides: with lots of very useful advice how to build content. Just a couple of thoughts to carry on the conversation: I agree that you should spend extra time to write… Continue reading Authentic content

nchenga’s Web 2.0 roundup: Links and comments

How many online services did you sign up for, use once or twice, and then never return again? In my case, that would be lots of ’em. Some of them are really popular services like Digg or Mister Wong, where I just haven’t found a personal use case, or I’ve got a substitute or workaround.… Continue reading nchenga’s Web 2.0 roundup: Links and comments

Quite undecided still. Will probably return to the previous design any time soon. Here’s the current Tarski setup: And Simplr: Also included is the usual WP… Continue reading playland
