Do you use Microsoft Publisher much? I’ve used it in the past for the occasional flier or to produce birthday invitations, but I’ve just realised that it can be used to produce websites too. Sounds a bit scary really, so I’m not quite sure what it does, but I will give it a whirl in […]
I’ve just written a WordPress Plugin that lets you display the last few people who dropped their Entercard on your blog. It’s a fun little widget especially if you’re into the whole Entrecard space. I quite enjoy building WordPress plugins; and WpAuctions was great fun. Who knows, one of these days I might be spending […]
Leo and I have been playing around with the WorkConnexions website and decided to go down the route of trying out Drupal. We tried out Elgg first, but even though it did have some functionality we were after, there’s still too much development left to be done on the product.
So we decided to go […]
Just finished putting together an overhaul of StrivePR’s blog: Strive Notes. It’s build on WordPress v2.5 with an elegant theme that leaves a lot of real estate for widgets and other flair. I’m pretty impressed with the new version of WordPress, my favourite feature being the ability to upgrade plugins at the touch of a […]
It’s nice when you come across a website that stands out from the others. Stylish Web Design is a website that caught my eye this morning, because the layout is simple, but extremely effective. I particularly like the header layout and the way the menu bar at the top shows your currently selected page.

I sat down with Nathan today to get a walkthrough of the work he’s done on Work Connexions. I was pretty impressed with the way the site is built and designed. It’s in C#, so I’ll need to come up to speed as I’m a bit rusty in ASP.Net. The site is very nicely structured […]
I’ve found the need to get up to speed on AJAX so I can put some more work into a WordPress plugin I’m writing. There’s some great stuff in there, but there’s a bit of a learning curve for me to get over. I’m getting my teeth in Prototype, an open-source library that help accelerate […]
I was getting a really strange error on all the subsites on this domain a few days ago. The error was one of the:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error ‘80004005′
family. There’s a whole range of reasons why this can occur, but when I contacted support they recommended I use the OLEDB provider instead […]
There’s a new version of WordPress out (v2.1.2) that everyone needs to kow about. Essentially there was a problem in the previous release (v2.1.1) where some malicious code was injected into the relese. The new version addresses this problem, but there is a vulnerability in v2.1.1 which has been made public. If you’re running a […]
There’s a new release of WordPress in town. This one is a minor release after Ella has been unleashed on us. There’s some 30 bug fixes but nothing seems to be too major so I probably won’t be deploying it across the network.
However, new blogs will be getting the new version
