New Site Updates & Gallery
This weekend I decided to make a few site updates. I have been pretty lazy about updates. The layout for one has changed. It is more of a aggregate layout now. I have so many different things going on this new system will keep information going to the site on a regular basis. At a quick glace you can just about see everything I have my hands in at the moment. The one area I am very happy with is a new gallery system. I like to shoot and upload photos but I don’t want to have countless posts of just a single photo. That is kind of annoying to the reader. I could post photos in groups...
Read MoreBlog Layout
I need to get a new layout up on the blog soon. Having one sidebar is annoying me these days. I have lots of sections I want to show so I think I need to find a theme with a larger footer area, larger sidebar or maybe two side bars and a way to better feature photos and videos.

I also like that it doesn’t really look like typical...

I want to change a few things on the blog and don’t have the time to create my own theme. 99.9% of WordPress themes suck, fact! Visually they make me want to puke. People with no...

Okay, I could not wait after seeing the new WP 2.7 features. I went a head and update this blog. Using the Automatic Update plugin it went off without a hitch. Loving the new admin UI!
Read MoreiPhone + Photo + GPS + WordPress = PinDrop
PinDrop is a new WordPress plugin I have written to mesh my addiction to my iPhone, GPS, Photography and WordPress. The idea came to me after Scott ask if I could post photos to a map based on my current location from my iPhone. PinDrop is what I came up with. PinDrop combines three things: The iPhone’s 3G GPS, WordPress, and a Google Mashup. Using all three pieces together allows me to post my location (lat & lon) from my iPhone to my blog along with a short message and a photo I attach. Using the built in functionality of WordPress’s mobile posting functionality the...
