About 40 minutes ago I popped over to WordPress.org and download WP 3.o RC3 to check out. As soon as I got it installed I got an update notification that WordPress 3.0 was out! So now I am running the full version on a site that I am setting up. I am anxious to try… Continue Reading
The Science of the Sleep Number Bed
I dreamed of trying out a Sleep Number bed for a long time. I never thought that I would actually have one. When I was contacted by Sleep Number to review a m7 bed with Memory Foam I swear I almost turned a cartwheel. I was setup about a month ...

WordPress 2.9 export does not work correctly
I have been doing some maintenance on my webhost and cleaning up old sites, databases, files, etc. Earlier today I goofed and nuked the database for this site. But, before I started I used the WordPress export tool in wp-admin to export all my posts, etc. (or so I thought). I had just done a… Continue Reading
My favorite WordPress plug-ins
When building a WordPress based CMS site for myself or someone else there are certain plugins that I install by default to make the blog software function as a full featured website.

Promote your WordPress blog on Facebook!
Everyone knows these days that Facebook is a huge social networking site. At first, it can be overwhelming and a bit hard to figure out, but once you get used to it, you realize that it is a lot more interactive than Myspace. At least I think so. It’s easier to keep up with what… Continue Reading

ShareThis plugin issue
I love the ShareThis plugin. I have been using it for quite a while. Also, I notice that it is taken over the web. I believe it started as a plugin by Alex King. Now it’s has it own identity, community, website, forum, etc. Wow! I upgraded Wordress from version 2.2 to version 2.6 yesterday,… Continue Reading
