When media file upload won’t prompt for files in WordPress
A couple days ago, I tried to use the web interface to my blog to upload some media files, mostly pictures I had taken. I clicked the upload button and nothing happened. I had to do some serious digging but finally found the culprit – Flash 10. It turns out that file selector is powered […]

Added the Simile Timeline plugin to my blog
While getting the paging navigation working in my theme, I found the Simile Timeline plugin. It took some real effort (the plugin is, as the author admits, in alpha state – ya gotta start someplace afterall), but now I’ve got a timeline for my administrivia posts. You can find it as one of the tabs […]

Fixed another problem with the blog
It turns out the template I’m using (and have modified quite a bit) depends on a plugin to display the additional pages for archives. I’ve added that plugin, customized its look a bit to more closely match the blog look, and voila, we have archives that work much better now.

My first spambot registration!
Since this is not a highly publicized blog, I see when people register or drop comments (can’t miss it really). So when I saw a new registration email I thought I should check it out. Its a spambot apparently; when I googled the email address I found this post. Since I don’t think you can […]
