WordPress vs. MT 3.2

Okay, my final rant regarding my MT experience. I’m not joking when I say that Movable Type has really pissed me off. I feel like I was suckered into viewing a movie only to leave begging allah for my 2 hours back (aaaaalalalalalalalalalal). Anyways, over at NevOn, there is a great article [...]

The MT saga continues…

Tonight, I decided to journey into MT a little more and experiment with the site CSS and layout. I decided to try loading some plugins from the Six Apart”power tools” download area, starting with Style Catcher. This particular plugin supposedly allows for easy theme download / integration.

WordPress.com in a box

Check it. I’m looking forward to seeing how WordPress.com plays out.

MovableType 3.2

The folks over at Six Apart have released an updated version of their bloggingMovableType 3.2 (MT). Before really putting all my effort into WordPress (WP), I used MT and used it quite well. It’s a very powerful utility but I must say “HOLY CRAP” it took forever to setup.
I downloaded my paid-for verison [...]

Technorati Tags

I have just installed a plug-in called “SimpleTags“. This small plug-in allows me to take any particular text in my post and create an automatic Technorati tag (see bottom of post).
A small issue that I’m awaiting from the author about is in regards to the tag being predispositioned at the bottom of the post. [...]

Google IM LIVE before official release

Check it:

Google is using the Jabber client, as I posted earlier. So, using Trillian’s Jabber plug-in (you can also use Gaim, etc.), I tried connecting to google’s IM server using:
server: talk.google.com (it’s like Yahoo….everything is “service”.yahoo.com)
user: xxxxxxxx@gmail.com
pass: “gmail password”
And smack. I’m on. No-one to chat with [...]

Google IM!?

Google is set to announce their entry into the instant messaging relm. Insiders and technology watch groups claim Google is going to use the Jabber open-source framework as their backend system. As well, the new IM client will expand to compete directly with Skype as Google is going to incorporate a VoIP calling [...]

ATI Catalyst 5.8

Why does the new ATI drivers warrant a post on such high profile e-realestate? Battlefield 2 runs better on them, that’s why! Either ATI or EA finally got off their rumps and decided that nVidia wasn’t the only game in town (pun intended) and finally partnered together to fix over 130 issues with [...]

Listing categories in WP

Today, I modified my sidebar (specifically my category listings) to show how many posts are linked to their respective parent. This was yet another enlightening way that WP is teaching me “code”, so I thought I would share my short experience.
First, I needed to clean up the code that I was using from The [...]

WordPress 1.6 and other news

There is a lot of buzz being generated over at the WordPress camp lately regarding version 1.6. Customizable sidebars in the backend and a WYSIWYG editor are a couple of the big features, just to name a few.
The other (probably bigger) news is that WordPress will be going head-to-head with MT’s “TypePad” service, via [...]

Mac developer box

Local bandwidth hero, Chris Dotson, has posted some pictures of a Macintosh Intel developer box. Pretty cool stuff…I think. I’m not a huge Mac fan but I do like the competition they give M$.
