This morning I had the wonderful privilege to be on Donna Maria’s awesome Indie Business Radio show and when we got to talking about podcasting I said that it was about time I wrote an updated Podcasting 101 post and thus…
I started podcasting about a year after I started blogging. My “Walk About Podcasts” were pretty good, considering I didn’t edit and I had no clue about recording or cleaning up audio files, but hey that was then…
Today I use a Blue Snowball USB-microphone with Apple’s GarageBand (and I actually [...]

I found out that my video camera can do interval recording! So I set it to record one frame every second. Now when you play it back at 30 frames/second you get the fast forward look.
So I don’t really type that fast, but I wish I did!

Even though it’s been the holiday season, work on Using WordPress hasn’t slowed down only a wee bit. Several of the initial chapters are now in the loving hands of my editors and I’m proceeding full steam ahead. Since crowd sourcing works pretty darn well for getting feedback, commentary, and information, I’m looking for a bit of help with the next chapter in the book: WordPress Plugins.
Us WordPress.org/DIY install users know that there are thousands of WP plugins out there to try. Lots of plugins do the same thing and [...]

This afternoon WordPress 2.9 went from Release Candidate to just plain old released and, yeah this is a good one. I’ve been using 2.9 in it’s early beta incarnations for months now and have been quite happy with it. I haven’t noticed a huge improvement in speed or stability, but then again I’m not benchmarking it, I’m just using it. Oh and writing about it, of course.

Yes, I’ve been posting more here lately. It seems that my blogging has run in fits and starts of late. Part of the issue, I think, has been the diversity of places I could publish to, coupled with lots of projects on the go I didn’t publish enough. So for the past few week I’ve been publishing more and the traffic results are clear:
It doesn’t matter what the actual numbers are, because it’s a matter of scale. It’s the same thing I told the bloggers at b5media and teach my [...]

I’m working on Chapter 3 right now. I’m doing the “author review” or AR, which means that the chapter has had its technical review (it passed) and content review, and it’s been send back to me to do final edits before it is prepared for publication. As it happens , chapter 3 is all about writing blog posts. Not just the technical stuff, but also the art and craft of writing. Where does inspiration come from? What is your writing “voice”? All those fun, easy topics (yeah right). I have [...]
