version control

The default post revision functionality of WordPress is quite good. It keeps every revision you publish saved so that you can revert back to a previous version if required, and it also means that the two posts can be compared (via third party tools) to compare differences… handy if you’re editing somebody else’s work. I’ve [...]

Adding New Widget Areas in Thesis

July 26, 2010
Widgets

Just when you though that you had enough of Thesis stuff… here’s some more. I get about 10 emails a day relating to help on blogs and at least half relate to Thesis, despite the fact that it’s very much a minority framework. The disproportionately large number of emails regarding Thesis is a good indication [...]

Thesis and the Facebook Like Plugin

July 24, 2010
Facebook Like

One of the best ways of promoting your blogs is via Facebook integration. There are a number of ways of achieving this, but I’ve found that the most organic and least intrusive way of promoting a single post is the Facebook like button (not unlike posting a link to your Twitter stream). It isn’t associated [...]

Thesis and Yet Another Featured Posts Plugin (YAFPP)

July 23, 2010
Thesis and YARPP

There are a large number of plugins that simply don’t work with Thesis for one reason or another – particularly widgetised plugins – but that doesn’t mean that you can’t use them. If you don’t know much about the thesis framework (no, it’s not a theme) then you’re likely to be unfamiliar with hooks. If [...]

Add WordPress tags within your post

July 15, 2010
Tags

I was asked a completely random question via a blogging forum yesterday; “how do I integrate WordPress tags within my actual WordPress post“. Why anybody would want to do such a thing is quite beyond me. I can only assume they were fairly junior to WordPress because the purpose of the tags were to emulate [...]

Dot.Net versus Java – The Movie

July 2, 2010
dot net java

I’m neither a lover of Microsoft or a hater of Java, but this short movie – both in terms of content and production quality – is just brilliant. I may now have to reacquaint myself with Java. Enjoy. getv //

Short WP New Post Email Notification List

June 25, 2010
Wordpress email

There are quite a few plugins that add mailing list functionality to your blog, meaning that users can subscribe to mailing lists, new posts or new comment notifications – and so on. A problem arose when I decided that I wanted to add a notification system to a new blog (having never used such a [...]

Jetstar and the iPad as IFE

June 25, 2010
Jetstar IFE

While interviewing a Jetstar Social Media employee last week, they let it slip that the airline would be launching iPads as an IFE alternative with avionics supplier BlueBox. We talked about it only briefly before I was sworn to secrecy. The conversation did, however, inspire my last post. Chief Information Officer (CIO) of Australia’s low [...]

WordPress Post Missed Schedule

June 25, 2010
wordpress

I’ve got a lot of blogs – many that I don’t check for errors as often as I should. Some days, I’ll set aside a few hours and past in some posts that I’ll schedule to publish throughout the week so I can set and forget. I found an error in two of the them [...]

iPad as an IFE Alternative

June 25, 2010
ipad as ife

I’ve refrained from the iPad IFE debate for as long as I can. The question many people are asking at the moment is whether the iPad will replace existing integrated IFE (In-Flight Entertainment) systems as the entertainment platform of choice for cabin consumers. To me, it’s like suggesting iPods will put an end to in-car [...]

CessnaConquest.net

Cessna 441

I’ve just uploaded another website to CessnaConquest.net. It’s a web based ground reference for pilots of the Cessna 441 Conquest. The generic engineering and systems website is designed to assist pilots undertaking Conquest type ratings/endorsements; or it can be used as a systems refresher for those pilots that fly it. The Conquest is a brilliant [...]
