  • Posting a Photo from the iPhone

    Well I found out the hard way that WordPress does not support posting photos via their post by email function. I did a little searching and found the Postie plugin that allows you to do so ( sorry I cannot provide a link – the iPhone doesn’t have a way…

  • Image Manager for WordPress 2.1+

    As you know I have been searching hign and low for a Desktop Blog Editor for Mac that works half way decent. I recently tried Ecto but was not impressed. The biggest item that has been missing from all the Blog Editors is the ability to resize images easily within…

  • Importing and Exporting from WordPress – WPexport Plugin

    As mentioned in my previous post I had exported from a wordpress.com blog and imported to a self hosted WordPress setup. The process was really easy and to be honest I was surprised. In looking around to see if you could do an import/export from 2 standard WordPress installs I…

    I found a temporary fix for the formatting for the Subscribe to Comments WordPress Plug-in. I was forced into fixing it because I was trying to implement the plug-in on another web site and the formatting was broken there too. You need to open the subscribe-to-comments.php file and go to…

  • Subscribe to Comments WordPress Plug-in

    I have added a new plug-in the idano.net web site which I think is really cool. Now you are able to subscribe to comments on posts. I had seen this on a few other sites and really like it. Basically, you enter the usual comment info – Name, Email, URL,…

  • WordPress, Zoundry, and Lightbox 2 – Imaging Bliss

    Update 06.01.06 – As cool as this plug-in looks I had to disable it on this web site. The reason for this is that it is dreadfully slow and really impacted the loading of ALL of my pages. Therefore you will not be able to see the LightBox effects on…
