having to sign a liability disclaimer (in this case, done by clicking a checkbox) before I could upgrade my installation of Wordpress on my website filled me with a sense of foreboding that quickly morphed into a full-blown cry of alarm.
I’ve been talking about themes in Wordpress a lot lately. Mainly, this reflects my own immediate concerns with getting blogs/sites up and running quickly so I can concentrate on copy rather than stylesheets. I confess this may be a new direction for me; although my primary claim to fame has been as a writer/editor/journalist over [...]
I’m still tweaking my own refinements, but I have to say I’m basically thrilled with the new Wordpress theme I’ve installed over at Health Spectator.
Please take a look and tell me what you think.
I remember complaining about frequent Firefox crashes back when I started this site. In particular, I was blaming the problem on FireFTP, as I recall.
I still haven’t re-installed FireFTP, since I’m still happy with Filezilla when I need ftp, but I can report that on the new Vista machine we have in our office, Firefox [...]
First, let me make it clear that I make it a rule only to upgrade to a newer major version of Windows (95, 98, 2000, XP, etc.) when absolutely forced. That should put things in the right perspective from the outset.

As you must surely have noticed, being a developer, this weblog is served by Wordpress. Not only has there been a recent security upgrade to Wordpress, but the planned release of WP 2.2 has been delayed, primarily to allow for a thorough reimplementation of the tagging feature, according to lead developer Matt Mullenweg.

If you’re maintaining websites and haven’t already tried Filezilla, download it now!
There are some great commercial products out there, such as WS_FTP Home and WS_FTP Pro. In fact, so far as I know, these are the gold standards for ftp client software. I’ve used them both and highly recommend them to anyone who has $39.95 [...]
I’ve always been very happy with FireFTP, the ftp and website-management software that installs as an extension to Firefox. It’s completely intuitive, does what I need to do, and works as advertised.
Until recently.
I don’t know if the problem is that my Firefox installation has become bloated with all the new stuff I’ve downloaded for clipping [...]
