Tis The (cold) Evening

It’s late evening here in Stove Pipe City and it’s a balmy 4 degrees below zero outside and calling for a max low temp of 6 below before the sun comes up which is much warmer than what it has been (it was 14 below last night). And I just read an article on that [...]

Got a PDA? Added WP-PDA plugin.

Becky from Sprites and Bites told me about the simple WP-PDA plugin that detects the browser agent and loads a special theme for viewing specifically on a PDA. By what I hear, the plugin works just great for those who have PDA’s.

Some Badly needed Wordpress Plugins

Lots of spam comments in Akismet lately.Hmmmpff! Must be getting popular.
I went into my host’s cPanel to check my stats and low and behold I found two of the sites linking to my blog were “xslut.***” and xslut/blog.***”. It seems that Akismet (a most excellent plugin) had a problem recently and a couple of spam [...]
