About time. And product. And being more deliberate.
I’m doing some blog consolidation (“finally”, I can hear you say). I’ve been trying out WordPress’ new import feature. It hung, stalled, or timed out every time, either on initial import or on Step 2 when I assign the post author. After peaking into the WXRSS file, I noticed all my comments were in there …

I’m with Aaron, I don’t quite get Twitter. If you want to know what’s on my mind…read this blog. What I do get about Twitter is really, really fast publishing. The faster, the better. So, I cooked up a little script (11 lines) to post directly to this blog from Quicksilver. If you’ve got a …

Ben has some recommendations for wordpress publishers using the Hemingway theme (like I am of this writing). While I agree with some of his suggestions – the undercurrent of the entire discussion is that visual presentation doesn’t really matter – let alone main pages. Search engines shouldn’t index the main page of a blog (cause …
One of my biggest problems with podcasting is the production process. Even without editing the audio, the process is far too manual to repeat without inherent discouragement (65 podcasts in year 1 and 20 in year 2 should speak to that). In an effort to publish more and make podcasting as effortless as writing this …

He and Mike Geoghegan talk about the PodPress project in a recent Behind the Mic conversation. Dan’s plugin is full-featured. Capital F – Full. Though he’s nicely solved a couple small problems …

If you’ve seen the ‘share’ link at the bottom of the posts on the website (not so much in the RSS feed), and like the discrete ease to email, post to Digg.com, del.icio.us, etc, well, now you can have it too. I’m making the WP-PostShare plugin available for public download. Share and enjoy.
I just added a few, hopefully, useful links (comments, trackback, email, digg) to the RSS feed of Garrick Van Buren .com and my other blogs. If you’re running WordPress and want to do the same (something like Feedburner’s FeedFlare), here’s the code I’m using: < ?php comments_popup_link(__('0 Comments'), __('1 Comment'), __('% Comments')); ?> | < …
On a happy note, this post means the migration to WordPress 2.0 is complete. On an apologetic note, I’d like to apologize to everyone who has left a comment that completely got lost in the overly aggressive spam filter. Scott McGerik, Dave, and anyone asking questions about the plugins – sorry for not responding. I …

I’ve cleaned up a few things based on the feedback from the 0.9a version, and tweaked a couple more things. Decided “0.9” wasn’t as round a version as I’d like and v1.0 felt better. The Biggest Changes: – Comment-cast is now a checkbox option (there were some problems with it being supported on earlier versions …
