Your Amazon.com Plog is a personalized web log that appears on your customer home page. Every person’s Plog is different (hence [...]

I just finished installing Now Reading - a plugin for WordPress. I’m having some pretty major issues with it so I might have to uninstall it, but I really don’t want to.
I get MySQL errors when I add and edit books. You’ll also find that links to certain books don’t work. Lastly, [...]

I just read about this nifty sounding tool on blogdriverswaltz.com.

I hope to find a little time to add [...]

Okay - I upgraded to 2.0.2 last week and since then I haven’t been getting any ping back comments - you know when someone links to my post from their blog it shows up as a comment on my blog? I know it has to be a setting, but I can’t seem to find [...]

Rachel Singer Gordon has started her own blog: The Liminal Librarian.
All the “cool kids” have had blogs for months, if not years, and I'm coming to the party a bit late. So, why start one now?
If blogs had been around when I graduated 10 years ago, I may have started one then rather than putting [...]

Okay I have a meeting in 6 minutes, so I have to type fast. Rory at Library Juice has an interesting post about Questioning the Techie Mission.

I mentioned this weekend that I wasn’t a fan of the new WordPress for 2 main reasons. Well I’ve solved #1 and I can deal with #2

Everyone gave this new release rave reviews, but I have a few problems.
#1 - I am not a fan of TinyMCE. I demoed it when we were choosing an editor for our Intranet - and we decided against it. I hate the fact that when I click on HTML or the insert link [...]

From Bloglines News:
If you are like most Bloglines users, you’ve found that it’s too easy to subscribe to a ton of feeds but way too hard to keep them organized.

Today I attended Weblogs & Libraries: Communication, Conversation, and the Blog People presented by Michael Stephens. Even though I got in late (there was a class in the room we were using) and had to leave early (for my own blog presentation) I was glad I attended. I can’t wait for the archived file [...]
