Wow. Very cool. After several months of wanting to get around to setting up writing posts via email, I finally set it up. Now I can blog from my phone while on the train, in the car, etc. Sound cool? Set it up too! [tags]WordPress[/tags]
Well after over six months using WordPress to drive jappler.com, I thought I would report for anyone out there that might be interested, what plugins and modifications I have put in place to create jappler.com what it is today. User Interface Admin User Interface Enhancemnt: Tiger Style Administration Plugin. If you know me, you know […]
After thinking about it for a few weeks, I have finally decided to put a link to on my blog page. I created my own map to see how many people who read my blog would actually share their locations with me. Yeah, I could find out this information by looking at my logs, but […]
I finally had a few minutes to download the latest Release Candidate of WordPress 2.0 yesterday and install it. Like usual, I created a full backup of my current site files and database, then installed the new version of WordPress and ran the super easy “upgrade” script. I was extrememly surprised when I did not […]
Well, after multiple outages in the last few weeks, I think it is once again, time to move to another host. I had high hopes for Host Gator but I cannot handle too many more conversations with the tech support people because of outages. Next up: another go at a VPS account at Liquid Web. […]
Finally. I have completed my jappler.com optimization. A big thanks to Ken for putting up with my “is it loading faster?” questions. [tags]jappler.com[/tags]
The last few days I became obsessed with optimizing jappler.com. It was loading slower and slower with what seemed to be every passing day. Since I had originally designed my web site for an earlier version of WordPress, I figured it was about time for a tune up. I went to the ever-so-helpful codex, to […]
Well, it has been awhile since I have done any maintenance on jappler.com and over the last few weeks, I have noticed a bit of a slow down when the pages load. I took some time today to look at the php code, style sheets, templates, etc and have at least tracked down the problem…somewhat. […]
Well, well. Ken and I often play Yahoo! Pool and to make things interesting, I thought we could play a best of 3, winner gets some sort of web service (coding/design, etc) from the loser. I played a good first game, but Ken went 2-0, causing me to create and set up: ken.jappler.com. Do not […]
Ken often asks me: “what is the first thing you would do if you won the lottery?”. The last time he asked I told him I would take a cab to a Land Rover dealer and buy myself a Range Rover. I would like to continue my response to add that I would then drive […]
After a few months of using my jappler.com dashboard widget, I decided I needed to update it ever so slightly to take longer post names into consideration. Download the Jappler.com Dashboard widget. Once things slow down a little, I am going to look into how to create a widget for Konfabulator so both Windows and […]
Jappler.com will be moving to a new host ASAP. I have been moving hosts for awhile now…and thought I had a good one: hostgator.com. After some downtime and idiotic conversation with the “support”, I decided I deserved better and needed to be able to take more responsiblity for my web presence. I decided to go, […]
