Day 946: WordPress 2.5

March 31, 2008

VatulBlog now comes to you via WordPress 2.5. Thus far, I am underwhelmed by the new dashboard because it is powered by widgets. So what if I can customize some aspects of the WordPress interface to my feng-shui liking if something as simple as the Insert/Edit Link window doesn’t work? (Update: The form works in [...]

Day 938: The Blog Has Risen!

March 22, 2008

Now if we died with VatulBlog, we believe that we will also live with it. For we know that since VatulBlog was raised from the dead, it cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over it. The death it died, it died to sin once for all; but the life it lives, it lives [...]

Day 605: WordPress Wrangling

April 25, 2007

The wp-post function in WordPress 2.1.2 frustrates, educates and motivates the user, mostly in the desire to pull out hair and sulk. In my third attempt to publish the last post, I narrowed down the problem to the ping function in Options –> Writing –> Update Services and not my server. The short answer: Problem [...]

Day 514: Tinkering With WordPress & Photoshop

January 24, 2007

January 22, 2007

After much blood, sweat, tears and gnashing of teeth (on the part of developers and end users), WordPress 2.1 is finally here.

Day 499: Let Code Rule

January 9, 2007

I’m not devoid of feelings related to the number and locations of murders in NOLA since the beginning of 2007.  In fact, my thoughts on the topic are so many, varied and scattered and the atrocity so fierce that a thesis from me is unwarranted and useless.  A couple of things stand, however: 1) Warren Riley, Ray Nagin [...]
