More WordPress Goodies

I’ve been getting about a bit lately — no sarcastic comments please — so thought I’d share the results of my hard work. More WordPress stuff: Developing bespoke WordPress plugins for a work client — this one was a bit odd to write as I’m not used to such a strict editorial process. Apparently you’re […]

WFLW: Cheapo Beef Chilli

A few years ago I blogged asking you guys for lunch ideas and you duly supplied. I’ve decided to return the favour by doing a new blog series: “what’s for lunch Wednesdays”. Each Wednesday (or, when I remember) I’ll tell you what I’ve got for lunch. If you want to do the same thing, link […]

Easily Amused

We took Isabel to a local farm on Saturday. She was most entertained by: a) a pigeon b) a cement mixer c) headbutting a sheep (as in, she butted heads with the sheep through the fence … this is her way of greeting animals; obviously I’ve let the cats raise my child) I don’t know […]

Cheeky Favour, Please

Can y’all do me a favour? If you’re still linking to either tutorialtastic or codegrrl.com on your website(s), can you please update the links to point to GirlsWhoGeek? Hoping to push out a few updates over the next week and I want to maximise the potential traffic to the new stuff. Of course, if you […]

Upgrading to Firefox4

I downloaded Firefox 4 yesterday (and apparently I’m not alone, Mozilla have already racked up over 7 million downloads at the time of writing) and have been genuinely impressed by a) the speed of opening from a cold start and b) improved page load time. Of course I’ve not done any benchmarks so I’m not […]

Whoooooooooooooooooooosh

It’s nearly April. Nearly fucking April you guys. Stop, life; I want to get off! Need to blog baby, house, pets, work, poo, shopping, reviews .. sooo behind. Drafts queue building, building. Free time dwindling, dwindling. La la la, in denial about state of mind. :D

Search Engine Rank Tracker Comparison

My maternity leave meant I was out of the SEO game for over 12 months. I’m trying to get back in to it (for work and personal purposes) so asked Rhys what he thought the best rank tracker was … turns out he was writing a post on that very thing: the best search engine […]

Introspection

I’m not really the sort of person who lives her life by books of any sort (unless you count Pratchett’s Discworld series?) but have been reading a few lately that have had me pondering life, the universe, everything… I bought How To Win Friends And Influence People roughly around the time I returned to work. […]

End of an Era, a New Beginning

Tutorialtastic is closing today. Closing, gone. After 8 years of hardy service to you, the blogger, the developer, the web hobbyist. Don’t cry, my sweets, for where one door closes another duly opens… It has taken nearly THREE years to get to this point (albeit delayed due to pregnancy, sickness, babies, life, work, etc). Three […]
