- its a sale!
I don’t advertise the jobs I do. Most of the sites I build – whether it be WPMU, WP, Drupal or whatever – aren’t complete when my part of the job is done. I’m a nuts and bolts guy. I do the set up and code the specialty jobs. If you’re a guy looking to [...]
- Lost WPMU Admin password
What do you do when you’ve lost your Admin password and theĀ php_mail() ain’t working? Why, you just manually change your password in the DB. But how do ya do that, Curt? You can’t just pull up phpmyadmin and look because the password is encrypted… it’s a bunch of gibberish. It’ll take your crappy Amiga [...]
- Site Realign, New Host and other randomness
Site Realign
So if you’re seeing this, then you’ve obviously seen the site realign. Nothing has changed; I just combined a couple pages into one and moved some posts around. I have an issue with the table of contents though. The author of this theme used a nonstandard function to call the pages. It does many [...]
- Taking Criticism to Heart
I run a sports blogging site. It’s based on the Wordpress Multi-user. It was actually my introduction to all things wordpress. It was also my introduction to PHP, MySQL and a whole host of other stuff. Trust me, this isn’t the ideal way to learn how to admin a blog. I was stupid and overconfident. [...]
- Empowering Your End Users
When ever someone asks me to build a web site for them, I generally do my best to get out of it. It’s not that I don’t want to build their site. It’s not that I don’t want to maintain the site. I just don’t want to charge them for it… To the people who [...]
- Drop Your @telco.webmail
I work for a school district, so I get a lot of odd questions. A client – err coworker – needed help with a mailing list and her organization’s @bellsouth.net account. Having worked there before, I knew that what she wanted was impossible. Their mail server ‘mail.bellsouth.net’ can handle emails in 200 round bursts. But [...]
- What’s in yer install?
i’ve set up, built, designed – whatever you wanna call it – 4 or 5 dozen Wordpress based sites/blogs. And I was thinking the other day on how I do it. I’ve come up with a process.
I Use cPanel for everything I can get away with. Whether its Fantastico or Simple Scripts, always install Wordpress [...]
- Plugin Feature: DBC Backup
My business is only half a business. I have a number of sites, but I host them myself on a shared account. I’ve built a number of other sites, and I hopst them too. I know I should move on up to a real business solution, but it was never my intent to become a [...]
- Working for the ‘Net Unknowledgable Customer
I’ve recently begun using Wordpress as a CMS to build standalone, non-blog, websites. My first project Beads Etc… is a jewelry store front. Everything I used for this site is available freely on the ‘Net. It’s a standard Wordpress 2.5 install, a free theme with a few theme hacks and some pluggage.
The ‘Net Unknowledgable Customer
Ok, [...]
