First, you should know that WordPress 2.8 was released last night. Upgrading has never been easier. I’ll be interested to see what the upgrade rate is with this release.
And I just read a great post on 10 Free WordPress themes. There’s some really appealing options in that list. Despite the fact that we’ve been digging [...]
I would not claim to be a prolific blogger. Nor I would even attempt to label myself plainly as a blogger despite the fact that I manage and write for a few blogs about my personal life, the Red Sox, and here on Red Pill.
Here’s I typically put together a post. Or at least [...]
A few years ago, I was chatting with a good friend of mine about an interactive project he was working on for a client. The project was a flash based web site that allowed you to develop custom greeting cards and print them out at home. Not e-cards. But actual physical birthday and holiday cards [...]
Let’s say you’re part of a blog that has more than one author. You are reading one of those blogs right now. Other examples in the category would be AllThingsD, TechCrunch, and WebWorkerDaily. You’ll also want to execute a content outpost strategy using your RSS feeds. Content outposts – I love that term that Chris [...]
When Automattic purchased IntenseDebate, I decided to begin adopting that commenting system on various blogs I administer. I even recommended it to some clients.

A recent post on Mashable presented “10 ways Twitter Will Change Blog Design in 2009.”

Here’s a few items I’ve found on the web this past week that I thought you should check out.
Tim O’Reilly on Why I Love Twitter – Great post from a great thinker on the web and emerging media
The Beginners Guide to Promoting Your Blog by Jason Falls – if you’re new to blogging (perhaps we [...]
Yesterday, I added the superfooter to Red Pill. And truth be told the new blog features I’m going to talk about today were actually added yesterday (after all, it would be hard to have a viewable superfooter unless something was in it), but now I’m going to describe exactly what code I used to make [...]
Significant changes to Red Pill’s layout today as I added a superfooter to bottom of the blog design. In my opinion, superfooters are an underrated design element. So many blogs just load up on their sidebars that it ends up taking focus away from the content within a post. On some blogs – tags, recent [...]
No, I haven’t forgotten about you though I’m sure you’re feeling just like my turntables have felt the last 2 years – neglected. After all, it’s no fun to sit around collecting dust.
Excuses? Nah, I don’t have any of those for you. But I’m happy to share what I’ve been up to. My offline life [...]
