Getting Indexed First Makes A Big Difference
May 28, 2008
On Monday there was an incident of a naked man who stole a pair of coveralls and a 10-ton truck from a farm in Maple Ridge, BC, and led police on a 40 minute chase, with the man eventually abandoning the truck, and getting hit by an unmarked police SUV while trying to make a [...]
Wordpress Screencasts With Miss604
May 26, 2008
While she doesn’t blog specifically about blogging, Vancouver blogger Miss 604 has put out a few screencasts showing how it’s possible to make modifications to your Wordpress admin interface using both plug-ins and a little editing of your php files to hopefully make things a little easier when you’re writing your posts.

BloggingNotes Now Supports OpenID
May 21, 2008
If you’ve never heard of OpenID you could be forgiven. However, the concept of what OpenID is used for is hardly new. It’s a universal login - similar to what the Microsoft Passport system was supposed to be like.

What Blogging Tools Do You Use?
May 19, 2008

Well, Mark Krynsky has a [...]

May 14, 2008
It doesn’t necessarily need to be Twitter - it could be Pownce, or Jaiku. Even FriendFeed could fit into the category. While some might claim that Twitter is a waste of time, I’m finding that I’m spending more time following it than I am following my RSS feeds. And I’m not the [...]
How A Workflow Keeps You Blogging
May 12, 2008
It’s no secret that the time that I’ve spent posting here in the last little while has gone down considerably. Way back in November, I wrote a post detailing how a blogging workflow seemed to be keeping me on track and posting regularly. I’d like to revisit that post, and review how [...]
Don’t Force Users to Run Your Ads, Please
May 1, 2008
The other day I was on the hunt for a new theme for my personal site, due to the fact that I was going to use its installed theme (which I had paid for) on another blog.
I found one that I really liked and was able to tweak it enough to satisfy me. Then [...]
