Filed in Noteworthy, Technology, Weblog Tools Collection, WordPress on July 25, 2010 at 5:17 pmWeblog Tools Collection, created by Mark Ghosh, has been the number one source of WordPress news for well over six years.

Moving the Blog
Filed in Noteworthy, Technology, WordPress on June 16, 2010 at 3:38 pmFive years ago, I installed this WordPress blog in a subdirectory at macmanx.com/blog/, imagining that someday I would have some sort of fancy website at macmanx.com, and that this would be nothing more than just a blog.

This is because all database tables created prior to WordPress 2.2 use the latin1 character set and the latin1_swedish_ci collation, and all database tables created after WordPress 2.2 use the utf8 [...]
Returning to Splash Panel
Filed in Comics, Nostalgia, Noteworthy, Splash Panel on March 28, 2010 at 12:07 amSplash Panel is a graphic novel review blog created by Khaled Abou Alfa way back in November of 2005. As a long-time collector of graphic novels, I was lucky enough to be asked to be the first staff writer, and it was a blast. Unfortunately, burn-out set in and I stopped contributing reviews about a [...]
