Anything and everything vaguely internet related. Blogging, industry, social media: if you can find it online, I've talked about it in here.
I’ve noticed something recently, and it’s started to really bug me: more and more people are removing the date/time from comments on their entries. It doesn’t sound like a major offence, and up until the past few weeks it didn’t even cross my mind as a “blogging faux pas”, but I can see now why… read full entry »
As some of you may or may not know, the recently opened Neonglow forums have a celebrity-based header. I criticised this not long after it was opened and the general response from the admin (Becky/Sarai/Brent) can be summarised as “we don’t care”. Y’all know I don’t agree with copyright infringement but as I have no… read full entry »
With Karl and I in the process of moving house, I have decided to indulge a little in one of my few obsessions: clocks. Since I was younger I have had this unexplainable need to know the time, and to have access to an accurate timepiece. I check my watch even if I already know… read full entry »
BellaBuzz, my Wak’s Ask & Answer replacement script, is now online for open testing. The point of this release is to get feedback on ease of use and installation (and of course any bugs/etc) ready for the final release which will go on the BellaBuzz page. Please bear in mind that, should you choose to… read full entry »
Crystal on 15 Feb 2008 12:05 am I can think of one owner of a popular site who thinks she’s the shit and it drives me nuts!!! Every time I go to her site I’m like “aahhh” she’s such bitch just because she’s a pro at coding. The funny thing about it is she doesn’t… read full entry »
I left a comment on an entry earlier at noupe.com, re: “WordPress Security Tips”. Now, aside from the fact that the entire entry consists of tips ripped from other sites and balled into one, the first tip incorrectly states that by using $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’] a person is able to search your entire server. Talk about spreading… read full entry »
I’ve just seen Melissa’s hot new layout, which utilises so many of my favourite web design ‘touches’, it makes me pine for a grey on white text design. Of course, if I were to do that, I’d be missing my white on grey design before the month is out. :( Is there such a thing… read full entry »
Combined old “Valid Trend” / “No Valid Trend” rants to one new HTML/XHTML article.
Any idea what hot boob hypnosis is? No, me either. Yet, it’s one of a few thousand phrases used to find my website last month, and number 9 of a handful I collected while in hysterics last night, especially for your enjoyment (and possible bewilderment). I’ve blanked the swear words, for the sake of the… read full entry »
I don’t review many sites these days because time and time again I am presented with the same shit. Someone’s blog with a regurgitated free WordPress theme, subtly modified enough to warrant removing the credit line but demonstrating no actual skill. Graphics/resource sites with MySpace layouts greased with the blood, sweat and tears of some… read full entry »
