I’ll also be assisting in staffing the Genius Bar / get your questions about WordPress answered :) Looking forward to attending and hanging out with the folks at Crowd Favorite again.
A day or two ago I put up a quick website over my lunch break. If you need a quickly generated and secure password, then feel free to make use of it. I mainly made it because periodically I just need a quick temporary password, perhaps for a temporary FTP account on a clients website, [...]
I am sometimes asked to make backups of clients websites. I download the backups on to my computer from their server and then I upload a compressed zip file of the backup to a web server for the client to download. However they’re only stored there for the client for roughly 30 days. Today I [...]
If you are using WordPress File Monitor on your site or a clients site, I would recommend you test it now and periodically going forward until I can release an update. I have found an intermittent bug that causes it to “hang” and stop notifying you of results. I need to look into exactly what [...]
Last year I started a series of Year End Review posts. I figured it would be good to continue it this year as so much has happened in my life in 2009, that it’s likely not many people know where or what I’m doing any longer. Unfortunately the year started off poorly. Early in the [...]

I got a little bored tonight, so I added in support on Snipit.me for Tweetie 2.x on the iPhone (for URL shortening, haven’t done images yet). I’m pretty much the main user of the service (a few friends use it as well just because they trust me to keep it running for the forseeable future). [...]

Those of you that have been around me, any at all, over the past 6-8 months know that I’ve been working hard on educating folks in the area about WordPress1. For whatever reason it is something that I really have a passion about and for once in a really long time I’ve been pursuing that [...]
Atticus and Seamus Originally uploaded by mwalters I took Atticus up to spend the weekend with his “Grandmother and Uncle Seamus*.” While I was there I took this quick video of them playing. It always makes me laugh how Atticus treats other dogs. He’s 80lbs, so in general is extremely capable of taking care of [...]

Austin asks: I am looking to embed a photo gallery into my website, but not sure what online photo album to use. In the past I have used Gallery2 and Gallery3 but Gallery seems a bit clunky and outdated. flickr and picasa seem cool, but is it worth the trouble of setting up an online [...]
John asks: Why do you do the Ask Matt series? Basically it’s a good way for me to interact with my readers. This post is part of Episode 8 of the Ask Matt Series.
Kamen asks: I have been developing on WordPress for a couple of years now and everything I know has come from Google hunts, asking others, and banging my head on my desk from time to time. Where did you get your start? Did you start with a platform and learn the PHP and CSS as [...]
It’s been quite awhile since I’ve done one of these, but thought I’d open it up once again. So here’s your chance. Ask me anything you want in the comments and I will give you an answer. It can be anything from Technology to Photography to the why is I-95 an odd numbered interstate. There’s [...]

As some of you may know, one of the plugins I’ve written for WordPress is WordPress File Monitor. It basically keeps a listing of the files on your website and sends you an email alert as well as displaying an optional dashboard alert whenever a change is detected (a change is defined as a file [...]
I’ve had some pictures of Atticus from various times on my BlackBerry for awhile now. I finally decided to connect it up to my computer and transfer the files off. Anyhow, you can see just the new ones on flickr, or I also added them to my album of Atticus photo’s.
So I recently decided it was time to build out a home office for myself with how much I work from home. Previously, I had a desk setup with all of my computer stuff in what is supposed to be the dining room of my town house. Unfortunately this room is also the only route [...]

So WordCamp RVA was today and I was really pleased with how well it turned out. There were periods today where I was nervous about my presentation, then other periods where I figured it would be fine. There were times (in the morning) where I was worried if eveything would work out well and whether [...]
