WordPress Wednesday: Safe Function Calls July 8th, 2009 @ 5:45 am PDT
If you’re editing a WordPress theme template file by adding a call to a plugin’s function, you need to be careful. In six months or a year you’re going to deactivate or delete that plugin, and you’re going to get a big ugly fatal PHP error on your blog. You can avoid it, though, by […]
WordPress Wednesday: Admin Lists July 1st, 2009 @ 5:30 am PDT
Right now I’ve got just under 3,400 posts here on this site. That makes it sort of a pain when I’m browsing through them in the back-end because by default the WordPress engine is set to display lists of posts fifteen at a time. I frequently have twenty or more drafts and / or scheduled […]
WordPress Wednesday: Pithy Quotes Plugin June 24th, 2009 @ 6:15 am PDT

Akismet Works April 2nd, 2008 @ 6:09 am PDT
I installed Akismet here at the beginning of the Fall of 2006. I really don’t know how I lived without it. I emptied the queue about seven hours ago, and when I got to the office this morning there were already almost 1500 comments, pingbacks, and trackbacks flagged as spam. Akismet has protected your site […]
