Versioning your Blog content
Filed Under: Tags: plugin, revisions, versioning, WordPress
Have you ever made an edit to some Post, saved the results then sometime later wished you had an undo option? Or worse have you setup a site for a client and they ‘accidentally’ wack one of the Pages? Then they call you to ‘fix it’. Well I have some good news for you… continue...
Wondering if Apple supports SXSWi?
SXSWi 2008 is over and done, filed away until next year. During this year the attendees are more than ever bombarded with marketing from Microsoft, Fuze, Miller Lite as well as many more sponsors. This year in my opinion was worse than before as many of the panels were actually just product demonstrations. continue...
How do you treat your superstar developers?
During the downtime at SXSWi 2008 I had the chance to catch up on some RSS feeds. Even though I’m not technically a Ruby or Rails developer I’ve subscribed to the 37signals blog for some time. In a recent article Jason Fried provides a rebuttal to another news item from Jason Calacanis over at calacanis.com. continue...
Check WordPress Core Files for Hacks
Over the last 2 years I’ve worked on literally dozens of client WordPress projects. Many of these projects have been the simple cut the theme and go. Wham-Bam Thank You, Pay me, projects. The rest have been like normal projects. Tons of code written, different developers between phases of the site, custom plugins, themes from hell with very dynamic functionality. I hate to admit but in my early days exposed to WordPress, I found it easier to make mode direct to the core files before writing a plugin to extend the core functionality. This of course creates a problem because I don’t always remember what changes I’ve. continue...

Accepting Payment from Clients
Filed Under: Tags: clients, invoicing, payments, PayPal
Since leaving my day job last August, I’ve become a very diligent Freelancer. I’ve setup a standard Invoice format. Started reading more articles and books on running a business than on developing. Printed official business cards, the works. I even started accepting electronic payments from clients via PayPal instead of waiting for the printed checks to arrive in the mail then needing to fill out the deposit slip for the bank. Yes, life is pretty good as a work from home freelancer. At least things were all well until I read the latest article from Freelance Switch. continue...
Feedburner Custom FeedFlare
Filed Under: Tags: API, FeedBurner, FeedFlare, RSS, WestHost.com, XML
I’ve used FeedBurner to serve up the RSS/XML items from this blog for sometime now. But I don’t generally visit the FeedBurner site on any regular basis. I mean maybe 2-3 times a year I’ll go into the account and look around. Seems like every time I go into FeedBurner I find something new or an older feature enhanced. These guys rock! continue...
