Didn’t get a chance to roll them out last night because I wasn’t able to test. Just rolled them out and things look good. I like how the photo albums came out. Eventually I’ll need to go through and give them names, but there’s no need to rush that.
Well, I know most readers of this blog read it from their feed readers. However I’ve done enough to the site recently that I figured it was worth mentioning in case you’d like to take a step out of your feed reader for a moment: Running on Carrington by Crowd Favorite. Various updates to About [...]
Those that know me fairly well, also know that I enjoy taking pictures when I get the opportunity. I’ve had a flickr account for quite awhile now. Anyhow, having the photos integrated with my blog has unfortunately been gone for far too long. Now they are once again part of my blog. So, feel free [...]
Not sure what happened with Twitter Tools. It for some reason did the weekly digest over and over and over. I’ve cleared out the scheduled posts that it made (no idea why it did that) and cleaned out the ones it had already posted. I also deactivated it for now. So hopefully things will stop [...]
Sorry about the feed wonkiness. I was trying something out and decided to not do it. But trying it out let some stuff slip into my feed for a bit. Anyhow, don’t worry, not going to start bombarding my feed with tweets, etc.
I’ve turned comments and trackbacks back on. We’ll see how it goes. Posts made previously to today still have them turned off. If I start getting a spike in spam, I’ll probably turn them back off.
Well, I didn’t come to the decision easily, but this morning, I read an article about turning off comments over at Joel on Software. Shortly after that, 3 or 4 spam comments made it through my spam filtering. Honestly, I’m just tired of having to fight spam at all. It’s pretty rare that one makes [...]
I’m moving forward some with my previously mentioned feed updates. So if you’re a subscriber you might get blasted with all of the items in my feed suddenly being unread. I apologize, but this is more in the direction that I was wanting to go, and gives me more power. Basically I moved over to [...]
I’ve decided to consolidate my feeds since I only post here on the blog every once in awhile, but I’m actually still actively sharing content in other ways. So I decided this change would be the best way. So what does this mean if you’re currently subscribed? You don’t need to change to a new [...]
I’ve been slowly becoming more and more interested in Tumblr ever since Alex King mentioned it here and here (Alex is the best web aggregater I have found to date, I discover most things through him if you haven’t noticed). I have to admit, it’s made me think more and more about either trying to [...]
Well, if you’re seeing this, you’re seeing the new mattwalters.net (you may need to pop out of your RSS reader to really see it). I decided to (yet again) switch web-hosts and try out (mt) Media Temple. They seem to have a good setup and so far I’ve been enjoying configuring the site and getting [...]
Installed Disqus comments
Disqus has released a new version of their plugin which overcomes some of my concerns about using the service. A brief bit of background. Disqus is basically a robust commenting system. It allows for threaded comments (replying to specific comments, better facilitating conversation within comments), it allows for community moderation of comments (if someone leaves [...]
