Drama Around the GPL

in the Wordpress Community

There’s a bunch of drama going on in the Word­press com­mu­nity right now over the GPL. I’ll be hon­est, I don’t under­stand the whole story–I only live at the fringe of the Word­press world. But I fol­low a cou­ple Word­press rock­stars on Twit­ter: GPL advo­cate Ian Stew­art and GPL opposer Nathan Rice (hon­estly, Nathan’s posi­tion is sub­stan­tially [...]

Blog Fixed

for the most part

Well, I’ve got my blog back up and run­ning. There’s still a few minor prob­lems, not the least of which is that a whole crapload of my con­tent is gone and that my posts, which were metic­u­lously cat­e­go­rized are once again a wreck. Still, at least it’s run­ning. I think I’m still hav­ing RSS prob­lems, but I’m [...]

Blogger: the Once and Future Suck

I’ve used Blog­ger (ie. blogspot) for a while now, almost 4 years, it looks like. When I first started, I really liked it. Chang­ing the tem­plates was easy and the ‘blogthis’ tool was great. Then new Blog­ger rolled around and things started going to crap. And by things I mean ‘sup­port for Opera.’ This bug has been open [...]

Blogger Templates

Find­ing good tem­plates for Blog­ger is supris­ingly difficult. I think it’s because the XML sys­tem they use since they revised things is sub­stan­tially more com­pli­cated, or at least sub­stan­tially less stan­dard html, so it’s harder for peo­ple to write good templates. It makes search­ing even harder when you’ve got to wade through a bunch of sites that [...]

Blogging at Night

By mid­night, my brain winds down. This should not be con­fused with my body, which has no inten­tion of going to sleep. But my brain is shot. Or rather, it’s con­vinced it’s shot. I had very good inten­tions to fin­ish an over­long response (or dia­tribe, as it were, or maybe as it will be) in response [...]

Links Fixed

Ok, I fixed the links in my post about Obama and pol­i­tics. I’ve had two com­ments so far, both of which are worth read­ing (mostly b/c they some­what dis­agree w/ each other). Derek said some­thing really impor­tant that I didn’t really get around to to say­ing and whole-heartedly agree with, namely “The truth [...]

Poetry Blog Commenting Fixed

For what it’s worth, I fixed the com­ment­ing prob­lem I was hav­ing on my poetry blog, so every­one can rush, now, to it and engage the mind-blowing exer­cise I so poorly set up. Oops. I still haven’t posted any actual poetry there. I wrote some­thing I’m not utterly ashamed of today, so that’s a start [...]

Categories

Those of you who read this blog via the RSS feed and have no inten­tion of ever com­ing to the site can skip this post–you don’t care (unless the feed shows the labels in it as a link to other sim­i­larly labeled posts?) Now, for the rest of you–you’ll notice I’ve got a new side­bar to [...]

Blogger Beta

Blog­ger has this new beta thing. Which is handy if you want to cre­ate a new pri­vate blog, or start categorizing/labeling your posts. And I’ve been want­ing to do the lat­ter for a while now, and I wanted to do the for­mer just the other day. And it also gets rid of [...]
