What I saw this week #15: October 14, 2016

I'm noticing that a fair portion of the items I've made note to include in this post are videos. That isn't all bad. If you have time this weekend perhaps you'll watch a few of them. PowerPress Podcast – In this episode of this podcast MacKenzie Bennett and Jane Ellen talk about Anchor (which I mentioned earlier) and how…

Hacking rather than waiting

Yesterday afternoon Sarah Pressler retweeted Jono Young's request for a plugin that would add a submenu to the WordPress' Admin with the current pages for the site under the Pages menu. This would reduce the number of clicks to get to the page editor. I was waiting for an upload to finish and I thought, given the code I have laying…

You’ve been granted h-entry

This morning I took a few minutes to add microformats to the HTML of my blog. I had done so in the past when my site was using a completely different theme and hadn't taken the time to add them back in. Shame on me. I should have done it much sooner since it took less than 20 minutes…

A date picker to schedule posts in WordPress

On Sunday mornings I make some coffee, sit down at my computer, and choose 7 images to publish to my blog throughout the week. After I've chosen and edited the images I schedule them in WordPress to be published each morning at around 9:00am. I can then go about my week knowing that each day there will be a…

Eleven and six and twenty

Thanks to Jeremy for remarking how he forgot his blog's 15th anniversary (congrats Jeremy!) it reminded me to check and, well, I missed my blog's anniversary by nearly the same number of days as he did. On Saturday October 1 this blog, my personal blog on my own domain name but not my first ever personal blog, turned 11 years…

Keeping houseplants alive

I've killed far more houseplants than I can count. And I regret every one too because I love having houseplants. Real ones. Plants with character. A variety. And, for whatever reason (mostly laziness), I've killed off a ton of them over the years. But recently I've been doing a much better job at keeping them alive. What's changed?…

Exploring Conservation Island in Promised Land State Park

It takes me just over an hour get to Promised Land State Park. (See also, park map.) Because it isn't too close to home I've only been to this park twice. Once two years ago to kayak and again just a few weeks ago with Jonathan Edwards to do a little UAV flying and hiking. We ended up flying…
