WordPress FAQ: How Do I combine Blogs?
This morning, one of our bloggers posted a question in our internal forum. She was seeking guidance on how to take a few (three) blogs and combine them. I provided three solutions for her and decided, in the process, that I would kick start my braindead blogging (lately) into a mini-series of WordPress FAQ questions.…

Last Minute NYC Trip
I’ve decided to rent a car and make the drive up I-95 to the Problogger NYC meetup on Thursday evening. It was all very last minute. Had to find a place to stay, rent a car (because mine certainly won’t make the trip) and throw together arrangements (i.e. make sure the Wife would allow it…

Kent Brewster Said it Right
At SXSW, I sat in on a session “Web Hacks” which ended up being nothing about web hacks. The panel discussion was allowed to spiral into politically laced commentary on copyright law. One of the panelists, Kent Brewster from Yahoo! Pipes Yahoo Developers Network , had a great response to a audience member who wanted…

Automatic Activation of Plugins
A long time “want” for WordPress, especially since dealing with a large number of blogs at b5media, has been to have a WordPress MU feature that provides a directory whereby all plugins are automatically activated.

Review: Dan Rather
Photo: Texas Amy on Flickr Continuing my thoughts from last weeks SXSW trip, I want to talk about Dan Rather’s keynote interview on Monday Afternoon.

b5media Hitting WordPress 2.1
We grow. We suffer usage fees. Those fees come in database overhead, CPU utilization, etc. We’re hitting a number of incremental optimization targets in the next 3 weeks (by the time I go to Toronto in April, I hope) and one of them is moving the network to WordPress 2.1. Really, I’ve been very patient…

Review: The Hampton Inn
In my ongoing review series from my SXSW trip, I’d like to turn a negative eye on The Hampton Inn. As most business travellers, I receive a per diem and with that and additional funds I had in Paypal, I was secure in knowing I had $1000 in Paypal for my trip. Nothing that could…
