wp-moleskine
I got my first ever Moleskine today! I’d long wanted one, because — for me — nothing beats the feel of pen on paper when jotting down thoughts and ideas, and a Moleskine is the legendary medium for such. The cost of owning one always got in the way, though… But thanks to Automattic, I’m [...]
New blog on WordPress evangelism
I was having my favorite cup o’ joe over at Kangaroo Coffee about a couple of months ago when I was struck by an idea for a domain name. Checking if it was still available, I couldn’t believe but was very delighted that wp-evangelist.com was still up for grabs! So I acquired it right then [...]

Custom WP login page
This is especially useful for corporate or community websites that make use of WordPress as a content management system: a custom login / registration page for your WordPress-powered site.

WordPress on your local machine
You’re a Web developer and you need some sort of staging for your WordPress-powered site. You don’t like developing your site directly off of your production server because (1) Internet connectivity isn’t always reliable or fast, (2) you prefer to keep your site under wraps until it’s ready for the public eye, (3) some other [...]

Foodnography.com
I bought this domain almost exactly a year ago (4 June 2008, to be exact), because my friend Markku jokingly threatened to hijack it after I’d told him about a word I thought I had coined: “foodnography”. I was already blogging about food for some time, and the way we bloggers take photos of food [...]

WordPress 2.8-beta1
WordPress 2.7, which introduced major changes to the platform’s core, was released only recently, and now there’s another significant upgrade on the horizon: version 2.8. It’s still fresh in beta 1 status (Matt hasn’t even chosen a jazz musician to name it after yet). Still, WP2.8 is already looking to be a very welcome upgrade. [...]
