At New Media Expo this past week I mentioned in my session that FeedBurner was my go-to solution for syndicating content to email (and for providing a fantastic way for people to subscribe to your feed via their own service). After the session, I was approached in discussion by someone with some news. Google is shutting down FeedBurner. "I haven't heard that," I mentioned.…
It’s come a time when I need to get a tablet to truly dive into developing for the mobile web. I want to do a lot more HTML5 and mobile based sites, and list that as a skillset, but with only an iPhone, it’s sort of hard to do. So, I want to poll the audience. So far my choices are between the Galaxy…
Normally, I don’t deviate from web-specific discussions on this site, but I saw something yesterday that REALLY caught my eye: the new demo video for Windows 8. Watch the video below (it’s ok – I can wait; it’s worth watching once) Done? Great! Now, show of hands; how many of you are legitimately excited by this? I know I am. It’s no secret that…
If you have been following the Twitterverse today, no doubt you've seen the outrage by people who have seen the video of GoDaddy CEO Bob Parsons shooting an elephant on camera (link here: http://mashable.com/2011/03/31/godaddy-ceo-elephant/). I'm not surprised, honestly, but I think GoDaddy has a lot of other problems besides their CEO euthanizing elephants - they overpopulated their servers, people continually have a problem with…
Some interesting tidbits are arising now that Firefox 4 is out in the wild. It turns out that Firefox 4 will accept both the standard and –moz specific versions of CSS3. For example, take the following drop shadow css: .shadow{ box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px #000; -moz-box-shadow: 0px 0px 120px #000; } In the current order, the –moz statement will be the rendering statement. However……
I love helping people out with WordPress. Sure, I don’t use the official channels like the forums or stack exchange, but I love helping out people on Twitter. I do lurk on the aforementioned services, though, and unfortunately have noticed that there’s a recurring trend that pops up from time to time that really bothers me. A new community member, or someone looking for…
OK, so it’s not the most original title in the world, but it gets the point across :) I’ve been working with the fantastic Jeff Brown and the Way-FM crew to create a site for their Nashville presence that will allow them super-quick, easy content management and a place they can post local stories and events. WordPress, of course, is the logical choice, but…
UPDATE: I managed to write this into a plugin – Facebook Like Button Since Facebook announced a few days ago that you would be able to use its OpenGraph technology to “like” pretty much anything on the Internet, I took it upon myself to test out a few solutions for adding a “Like” button on the site. It turned out to be fairly easy,…
I had signed up to test some ads on another blog with the Yahoo Publisher network. I wasn’t too impressed, and took the ads down quickly, but kept the account, just in case. Well, today I got this email: Dear Publisher, Yahoo! continuously evaluates and prioritizes our products and services, in alignment with business goals and our continued commitment to deliver the best consumer…
If you saw the Huffington Post’s online version today, they did a great photo essay about the top 12 things that have gone obsolete. Some of them you may agree with; some of them you may not. But I think they forgot some of the most important things that we can’t live without now that may not even have existed 10 years ago. To…
