Why You Should Upgrade
If you don’t follow the Wordpress upgrades as they come, you might get hacked.
Joe Biden’s blog is (as of this moment) hacked with pharmaceutical spam in the footer. If you have Javascript enabled, you don’t see it. But disable it, and it looks like this:

Content Is King! Long Live the King!

Content is king.
It started with a Tweet by Jeremy Meyers, that said the following:
“Ironically, content about how “Content is King” is not an example of good content.”
I responded with:
“If Content were King, then Pink would have stayed dry.”
I was referring, of course, to Pink’s performance at the Grammy Awards, where she sang partially suspended and More >
Owning My Links

Part of the reason I started noodling with Wordpress was the ability to “own” my own site. Not have it hosted elsewhere, not beholden to anyone else’s whims and limitations. I can do what I want with the template and the look and the feel and the content. I can even move the URL around, More >
Shaking things up

It was time for a new look.
I liked the old look, but there was something about the old “old look” that was missing.
Yet, the “old” old look lacked several features.
This look will get some tweaking in the meantime.

Back in Business – almost

The issue here was a plugin, one that tries to minimize the load on servers by relying on Javascript libraries housed at Google.
The “Use Google Libraries” plugin needed updating, and that new version arrived tonight.
We will return you soon to pithy quotes and unusual perspectives. (Provided you have a computer monitor compatible with the new More >
More Wordpress Weirdness

I have diagnosed part of my problem.
The QuickRSS plugin I had active on my site was not playing nicely with the built-in RSS fetch in the Wordpress 2.8 administration panel.
I deactivated the plugin, and that problem is solved.
However, I still have no access to the visual editor.

Temporarily Vanilla

I just upgraded to the new version of Wordpress, and for now, I recommend you wait.
Something funky is going on in the background, so for the time being I bring you Retro-Occam. Plain vanilla theme, plain vanilla plugins.

Digital Factoring

Now this is getting pretty funny.
An automated blog scraper lifted my content the other day, and I wrote about it. (Mostly because the title, Digital Divides, played into a perfect sequel pun, Digital Multiplies.)
Well, guess who scraped my post about their scraping of my post?
Digital Multiplies via kwout
Yeah…

Well, having written about the Digital Divides, I feel it’s only fair to share the live with those innocent little scraper programs that steal my content, proving that Digital Multiples too:

The funniest part is that my piece is being attributed (in the anchor text) to mediabistro.com: Fishbowl NY. I didn’t realize I More >
Proud and Tickled

I have to say that I am immensely proud of all the Red Cross disaster relief workers who have used New Media tools to share the word about what is really happening. You guys have really picked up the ball and run with it — and now more than ever it’s important to showcase what More >
