Doing Things the WordPress Way

January 10, 2011 – 9:00 am

This past Fri­day marked the sec­ond Win­nipeg Word­Press meetup, and it was fan­tas­tic. It also marked my first time pre­sent­ing on a tech topic, and I thank every­one for let­ting me ram­ble for a while! Len from WPCanada has a great writeup of the event and has high hopes for the future. My pre­sen­ta­tion was […]

Seth Godin Chooses The Erudite

December 9, 2010 – 7:53 pm

Seth Godin should need no intro­duc­tion to any­one on the web. What might need intro­duc­tion is his new ven­ture called the Domino Project, in which he’s part­ner­ing with Ama­zon to rethink the fatally flawed cur­rent pub­lish­ing model.

September 11, 2010 – 3:06 pm

I tweeted a while ago about my mixed feel­ings about the new WordPress.org theme require­ments. They’ve already bit­ten me on the release of The Eru­dite 2.7.4, which was not approved by the theme direc­tory folks for fail­ing to meet a num­ber of require­ments. High stan­dards are a great thing. Over­all I think that the theme […]

The Erudite 2.7 Released

June 20, 2010 – 12:58 pm

Word­Press 3.0 was released last week (and there was much rejoic­ing). I received a few bug reports about my inte­gra­tion with the new nav menus — essen­tially if you didn’t have a nav menu in use yet, you’d see a weird extra box in your main menu area. I also did the long-overdue task of combing […]
