That’s right. If you act now, you can be the proud owner of this website! Posts, links, template, domain… you get the whole shebang, all for the low, low price of $34,436.94! What, no takers? I can’t say I’m surprised, although it’s fun to entertain the thought. In case you’re not familiar with it, there’s [...]
My bosses are absolutely crazy about the work of the internet marketing guru Derek Gehl, so naturally I read his feeds. A recent post on his blog highlighted a blogging tool that was just too interesting to resist, so I decided to give it a try. Called Feed 2 Podcast, it reads an RSS feed [...]
Counting posts only gives you a partial picture of the size of your blog. After all, you may write a long post one day and a short post the next, but that doesn’t answer the real question: How much have you actually written? That’s the question my first WordPress plugin, Words Written, sets out to [...]
There’s a debate in web development circles that has been going on for years. On one side, you have the traditionalists who prefer tables for layout purposes. On the other, you have the CSS purists who prefer to separate display from content completely. I’d say the latter group has been winning the debate lately, although [...]
The process of designing, developing, launching, and maintaining a website is complex and full of pitfalls. Dealing with the customer for whom you are developing a website, however, involves a whole new set of considerations. After all, a website is hard enough to build from specifications. But when you have human beings exercising editorial control [...]
Let’s face it; some webmasters are hopeless when it comes to design. They’d rather live back in the internet dark ages when everything was text-based and graphics hadn’t been invented yet. Unfortunately, users want to browse sites with at least some visual appeal. Sure, content is king, but no matter how good it is, nobody’s [...]
I never advertise my email address. It’s just a policy of mine. I get enough junk email without telling spammers exactly where to send it. You won’t find it anywhere on Project Paradox, my MySpace profile, my comments on other blogs, my posts on forums, or anyplace else for that matter. Why be so secretive [...]
So my friend Garrett, thanks to his new blog, is starry-eyed over the possibilities of WordPress. Not too long ago, my friend Brandon voiced the same sort of enthusiasm when he started his bass guitar blog. As I’ve gained a certain reputation for being a WordPress guru around the office, I was more than happy [...]
I’ve had my fair share of trouble with web hosts in the past. Having worked for a bad web hosting company, I know how shady and negligent they can be on the back end. The poor consumer is often left with little to do but file a support ticket and hope someone pays attention to [...]
Apparently Project Paradox is growing in popularity. Normally, I’d take this to be a good thing. Unfortunately, it hasn’t managed to attract the sort of attention that I wanted. My site, like many other blogs out there, has become the target of comment spammers, whose sole goal is to spread their seedy links in as [...]
