My dad runs a Joomla! based website that I have been hosting. Just recently we decided to migrate it to a different web host, so I had to figure out how to move it. I was initially puzzled by how to accomplish this move with the least amount of pain. I’ve enjoyed the slick Export/Import [...]
Most people in the tech industry are familiar with the accronym LAMP (if not, follow that link). MAMP is a variation on LAMP, but for Mac. I need to preface this post with the advice that the product I’m about to show is not for “production” type environments. The official word is: MAMP was created [...]
I just recently added the Digg It buttons on here. I had to do some debugging to try to get it to work properly, so I figured I’d pass along my work for anyone else to use. There are two things that I did to make it work right: Modify the posts loop on the [...]
I writing this post not from my home in Oregon, but from Boise, Idaho. Some colleagues and I are in Boise visiting our campus here for work. When we setup this trip last week I got to thinking about airport wifi, and how I was very glad that the airports in both Portland and Boise [...]

I’ve been following Joe Tan‘s plugin development for WordPress for quite a while.

Obviously this plugin only benefits you if you use Google Analytics and Feedburner on [...]
Are you ever in a situation where you need just a simple, static website? I don’t find myself there very much anymore, but Weebly is a great option that is definitely worth checking out. I’ve put up a little demo site of my own. The creation environment is all AJAX-ified, and is really clean and [...]
Are you looking for a way to build a lightweight website with minimal graphics…and do it with rounded corners? You can use the Mozilla specific CSS (-moz-border-radius), but the rounded corners will only appear for Mozilla based browsers. I guess that works if your site only works on Mozilla browsers, but there aren’t really (m)any [...]
Whenever I’m working on a web design I think my biggest block tends to be figuring out what colors to use. That’s especially true if I’m starting from scratch, with no logo or any direction from the client. I think my “problem” is much less of a problem now. Kuler is a site brought to [...]
This is the third of a three-part series on Web 2.0 at Work. I saved this one for last because I was just in a meeting on Friday of last week to discuss this exact topic. The issue of internal communication has been a recognized problem where I work, not only among the employees of [...]
