Utter Sarcasm

Today is the day where we throw up our hats in appreciation for the double-blog. The time is now.
Oh goodie.

Chris: seriously, what do you do?
Tony: shit all over yourself
Chris: *stare*
Chris: that WILL stop them
Tony: what?
Tony: you never know
Chris: but way to ruin a good time
Chris: both for you AND the bear
Chris: you bastard
Tony: fuck that. don’t eat me

Lifehacker turns us on to an Ezine article about getting more eyeballs on your blog. They have a few great pieces of advice and a few more I hadn’t thought of that I’m sure I’ll be employing sooner than later. (They curiously leave out the patently obvious ones involving threats of physical violence and […]

I have to say that the temptation to just tear into the raw PHP code that powers WordPress is, well, palpable. But I know it’s a bad idea, especially considering how simplistic the initial change I want to make is: Produce two entry feeds on the main page instead of one, WHERE author_id = me […]

So apparently, I’m too cool for readmes, and ignored the configuration options of the tags plugin I just talked about, so that it outputs the Technorati tags instead of the local tags. Why would I want you surfing away? Idiot!
Let’s see how taggorific this entry is. And yes, I’ll promise to never use that word […]

I added a new plugin that lets me jump on the tag bandwagon. Tags, for the uninitiated, are like little dynamic, fluid categories that allow users to specify multiple keywords that apply to an entry, instead of managing several confined, broad categories. I could talk about a new restuarant and the tags could be: […]

Tweaked the font size a bit, per Tony’s request and as I mentioned earlier. I’m finding that there are a great deal of WordPress plugins available, so I’m having fun picking out and trying new ones, including a nice hit tracker by PHk.
I’m thinking now that I might shift the development of the dual-column design […]

Well, my attempts to set up Permalink happiness have thus far failed, for reasons unknown. I don’t think our Apache install is digging on mod_rewrite (which lets you do crazy things to incoming requests, like .com/new-happy-link-here-0501022.php… that file doesn’t actually exist, but it redirects through a happy bit of reformatting to a page that serves […]

I’m trying now to alter the structure of permalinks, because post-links with words in them tend to rank better with Google and other search engines…

I’m starting a blog that will have what I hope will be some unique and enticing features and concepts. Up until the point that I officially launch “this” blog, I’ve decided to write about my progress and thought processes surrounding the creation of a blog: Which software to use, custom code, trackbacks, pings, comments, feeds and networking, for anyone new to the game or just curious about how one person decides to go about things.

OMG, it’s coming!
