What’s going on? This: Are you a WordPress blogger? Yes? Did you spend the weekend attacking a gaming site? No? Don’t be so sure. Incapsula, a Web services company that offers protection from distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, has announced that over the weekend one of its clients was the object of a sophisticated […]

WordPress.org, you’re on your own. If you’re a sad WordPress.com blogger who’s been wondering where the Showcase (Self-Promotion) forum and the What I Posted Today threads have gone, you may now throw off your mourning veil and rejoice!

Here’s the post on Codepoet: If you, like us, think that Code is Poetry, you might just be the person we are looking for!

Ain’t Broke; Don’t Fix It: WordPress.com Stats

January 31, 2012

Imagine that you had a house (this may not be imaginary, if you live outside of Vancouver). You’re renting, and Matt the landlord is generally pretty awesome. Sometimes he comes in and says he’s going to work on some stuff, but he is always clean and fast and tidies up after himself and these things […]

CoverItLive in a WordPress.com Blog

December 23, 2011

5

I’m of two minds about CoverItLive: on the one hand, there’s nothing better at pulling in multiple realtime feeds and combining them into actual content and a coherent conversation all at once. It can even pull in emails and display media like videos and photos in the CiL box. Slick! On the other, it’s an […]

It’s true, Vancouver hasn’t seen much of me lately, but that’s about to change. This Sunday I’ll be hauling myself out to the airport for 4 FREAKING 30 in the GODDAM MORNING to catch a plane which will, by way of Ye Olde Milke Runne, get me to Vancouver for 8 FREAKING 50 in the […]

Here is yet another question from the WordPress.com technical forums. Occasionally the internet will dig out somebody’s three year old post on using Keywords, and BAM! we get a million questions on it. This is only my second-fave question, after meta tags, of which we will speak some other time. Anyhoodle, here are my tips […]

Social Media Success Story: From the Streets to the Stacks

May 28, 2011

16

It may have escaped your notice, but probably not (especially if you’re in the field of social media, yourself) that the field of social media services has an oversupply of snake oil marketers and plain old incompetents, as well as just a plain old oversupply. In Vancouver over the past nine years I’ve been teaching […]

Reblogging: WordPress.com versus Tumblr

November 11, 2010

29

Many and varied are the praises of WordPress.com, and which I have sung many times. And few and spare are the praises of Tumblr, which can be chanted here: it’s a very useful scrapbooking service, as I’ve pointed out before. it’s easy to use. In fact, if I were to teach blogging to someone who […]
