WooThemes to the rescue

Before the easter break, I posted a small teaser for the StayPress administration plugin with a nice little screenshot. I also posted an estimated release date of, well, yesterday
It wasn’t until a bit later that a mild panic set in and I realised that, whilst the plugin would be ready, the StayPress.org site [...]

I know you hate this, but..

I know you guys (and gals) hate this, but (click on the image for a large version)….

I’ve been working my little cotton (well fleece) socks off. I’ve got some restructuring of the site still to do, and will be bringing a whole new server online after easter but I thought I would share progress and [...]

How to: remove remote calls in WordPress MU

As a laptop user, I like to be portable and sit and program wherever I can find a nice cosy seat, a good cup of coffee and, with the weather as it is at the moment, a bit of heat.
This means that I often find myself with no internet connection, or at best a slow [...]

Weblogtoolscollection.com - sponsored themes or not?

Strange things are going on with the news forum over at Weblogtoolscollection.com. From an outsiders point of view it appears that one arm doesn’t know what the other is doing.

Plugin: Snipt.net code embed

As a developer, I’ve been searching for a reliable and easy way of including code samples and examples in my blog for a while now.

Going domain crazy

“Aaargh” would probably be the correct phrase to describe what is going on in my head at the moment.
I’ve got so many domains sitting around here that I’m trying to re-arrange and re-structure into a more coherent and useful, well, structure that I keep going around in circles.
I think I need to sit down and [...]

Ahoy matey - changes ahead

This is sort of a heads up / warning type of post. Over the next few days a lot of content and pages on this site will be getting a new home elsewhere. Where possible I will put redirects in place to transfer you to the new locations (and to help Google to catch [...]

How to: Point your post permalink to an external site

Any visitors, or subscribers, to John Grubers’ Daring Fireball blog will notice how he uses the post titles as direct links to the sites and information that he refers to within the posts body.
Earlier today WP Recipes posted a quick tutorial on how to set this up on your site (based on work by Vlad [...]

Renewing domains at godaddy.com

Wow, whatever happened to the idea of having the minimum number of clicks/pages/steps between purchase decision and checkout?
I swear I must have gone through 4 pages of “Add this?”, “Add that?” before I could actually pick the renewal ... [More] periods and pay.
