(Word)Press This!

I just learned about this handy bookmarklet after thinking about how easy it is to publish linked content to things like Tumblr. And I got to thinking, why aren’t I using this for my blogs? Like, this one? Sure enough, the good people at Automattic have already done this and it’s been available for quite [...]

DepoSkinny

This blog’s theme has been bugging me for awhile and was due for a change. With apologies to kev, I’m shamelessly lifting Derek Powazek’s Depo-Skinny theme. I’ll be tailoring it to my own tastes over the next couple of days so if stuff seems broken, it probably is. You’d think I’d test this on a [...]

Tags in Ecto3 with WordPress 2.3+

Mr. Tijsseling replied with a link to the infinite-sushi support forums explaining how to setup and use the native tagging feature in WordPress. Nice. Meta note: For access to the n3wblog’s tags, use the tag cloud in the navigation section in the footer or click on the tag links next to a post in single [...]

Changes

Yes, it’s another blog post about this blog. Astute viewers who actually visit webpages outside of their newsreaders might have noticed some theme changes and additions to the bottom-bar over the past couple of weeks. I switched to the pretty excellent hemingway theme after the version of hemingwayEx I was using stopped working with the [...]

moved!

moved to the new server at long last. Special thanks to the Shaver Man for his tireless efforts and outstanding knowledge of the black arts of server administration. A few things are broken. The gallery isn’t up and it may disappear altogether in favor of a different solution. So there will be some missing images. [...]

Updated Music Library Listing

I updated my online music library today. It’s been overlong. The current stats are 8436 songs, 27.3 days, 56.3 GB. That’s for a Smart Playlist gathering all checked tracks and excluding videos and podcasts. If including the full library, I’d have 12863 items, 41:12:51:32 total time and 82.34GB. This week I had to deselect a [...]

something’s different

You might see something a little different on the n3wblog. I’ve installed the excellent hemingwayEx theme. Thanks for this Nalin. Very nice work. I’ve still got a bit of work to do to get this integrated. Some extra organization and some changes to my links. I’ll also be adding the Ultimate Tag Warrior plugin for [...]

Updated Music List

For those who are interested, I’ve updated my music collection list. I use iTunesPublisher for this and it makes it nice’n’easy. For this go around, I’ve created a new smart playlist that excludes unchecked music, podcasts and videos which have been sneaking into my library more and more often of late.
