Love it or hate it – it is here to stay.
I am always looking for new ways to optimize and improve jappler.com and this past weekend I installed and configured a new wordpress plugin: ultimate tag warrior. Not only does it take care of my tagging needs with each post, but it also allows me to create a tag cloud (see the home page), and […]
I recently started looking into WordPress Widgets which allow people to customize their WordPress web site or blog without knowing any HTML. Widgets allow WordPress users to simply “drag and drop” features in their sidebars. Sound interesting? A basic overview on how to get widgets working on your site: Download the Widgets plugin for WordPress […]
After a long search and evaluation process for a WordPress plugin to fit my needs, I decided to go with a WordPress plugin called fGallery. I started off looking at the Coppermine plugin but after reading about how development had been stopped and the reasons why, I plugged on to find something that would not […]
I recently created a web site (Evan’s Web Site) that could really use a nice photo gallery plugin. I have looked at a few but they have all fallen short in one way or another. Does anyone have any suggestions since there are so many out there? I am looking for: Easy upload and post […]

Fortunately the fix is quick and easy! The real problem: Apple, by default, uses a “Rich Text Format” (RTF) for composing all new email […]
I have been working with WordPress for multiple years now and I decided I needed to start reviewing some of my favorite plugins – as I receive a number of requests about what plugins I use/prefer. I am going to start with a newcomer: WP Newsletter. This plugin works great for WordPress sites allows you […]
I spent a few minutes (not hours) updating all my sites to WordPress 2.0.5. So far, everything is working and no issues have come up. If you not upgraded your WordPress installation, check out the fixes in 2.0.5 and then upgrade away. Great work WordPress developers!
I had been struggling with the the next/previous links on my WordPress blog now for several months. Nothing excites me about mod_rewrite and permalinks in general. I know both are very powerful, but with power comes frustration. My problem: All my permalinks were working correctly except for the next page/previous page links. WordPress was trying […]
The last few days have been pretty busy in the web browser world. The big news: Microsoft released Internet Explorer 7.0. I downloaded it, installed it and was pleasantly surprised. Finally Microsoft is making text look good with anti-aliasing. (One of my biggest pet peeves with Windows in general). After taking a quick look at […]
