It is a tiny plugin for WordPress to make tagging posts easier. I call it TagLinks. Lame name, but it’s not that amazing of a doodad to begin with. It simply installs a del.icio.us style set of links below the tag box. Great, huh?
Today sucked. But my last bad day was a while ago so I must have had one coming. Anyway, on with the show:
Minor site design tweaks all over. It was mostly just polishing what I had already put in place, but I am happy now.
And while we are talking about the site, I made an Archives page. Fricking sweet.
I decided against the speakers. Instead I opted for the more flexible and cheaper option of a . And if you don’t know what means then you just ain’t cool anymore.
And I learned today that I can still be angry most of the day (it’s been a while). Common sense, laundry dryers, and patience have been in short supply it seems.
Sorry for the lame post. I will send you something of worth tomorrow, promise.
I would have posted this sooner but I had to go eat. If you’re interested dinner was Salisbury steak with mashed potatoes, succotash, and a salad. There was no dessert offered.
But the website, out with it… I began to seriously consider starting a weblog about three weeks ago and began working on it about a week ago. This is the fourth edition of the weblog known as stevarino.com, my 7th weblog so far, and the second powered by .
My first weblog was Preschool Prodigy. I started it in early 2002 in an effort to teach myself some web programming and design. The PHP code was a catastrophe which I still cannot believe ran as smoothly as it appeared to, but I at least learned CSS and semantic HTML well enough. My idols back then were , , , and . They still are to some extent, and its refreshing to see they are doing just as well today. But just as they have in recent years, I can no longer focus so much time on weblogging.
I actually did not start with the intention of reinventing this site within the modern day WordPress Industrial Complex. The entire website was going to be designed around how I thought it should function and I had a to achieve my vision with. But after two weeks of banging my head against the desk and cursing at half-realized abstractions I decided that it didn’t really matter anymore. Hacker pride be damned.
When I started weblogging, WordPress didn’t exist, Blogger sucked, Movable Type charged a buttload, and LiveJournal was ugly. And while LiveJournal is still ugly, Blogger is now a Google property, MT is GPL’d, and WP rocks. Weblogging has matured so I guess there are other things for me to focus on now besides whose software cuddles with my data at night.
Anyway I plan to treat this weblog a bit different than my past attempts. Stay tuned.
