I’ve upgraded to WordPress 3.0 (“Thelonious”) and plan to use its multisite feature. But first I want to do some housecleaning here and at the blogs I plan to merge from hither and yon into this single install (hallelujah!).
I’ve also got some changes planned for Peace Arena’s front page and menus. I’m going to focus less on… Read the rest
Hey, there’s a new website in Oklahoma that Peace Arena readers might be interested in. Its goal is to advance progressive/liberal/independent perspectives in our state, filling a pretty big hole left by the traditional outlets. It is an ad-free, all-volunteer effort.
Oklahoma Citizen already has been getting a lot of buzz during a limited site reveal among the progressive… Read the rest
I’ve switched to a new theme, which I think is a bit cleaner and easier to navigate. I’m still tweaking it a bit, so don’t be surprised to see things get added, subtracted, moved or (temporarily) broken. If you find something not working as you think it should, a poke in my direction would be appreciated.
Last year I handed out (metaphorically speaking) some Oklahoma netroots blogger awards and really intended them to become an annual thing to do on my blogiversary (Thanksgiving weekend) but not only have I been a bad blogger this year, I’ve been a pretty sporadic reader of Oklahoma-based blogs as well.
Considering my self-defined mission here (online and off),… Read the rest
I don’t know if this really qualifies as THE ugliest in the entire state, but I think it’s a serious contender in the crowded Government category.
The screen shot below really doesn’t do this inside page of the Canadian County web site justice. All those state flags are waving!
The front page only has two waving flags, which is… Read the rest
Several developments in this short-lived trial.
The most serious is that the feed produces hotlinked photos. If read in a feedreader, that’d be fine, but even with my minuscule readership, this is not acceptable practice for a blogger. I could use CSS to keep the images from displaying (and have done so with the links already imported), but… Read the rest
Bravenet has teamed up with Constant Contact to offer a pretty good deal on an e-mailing list service.
I signed up with Bravenet back in 2003, and for a while used some of their counters and other website tools, but drifted away to other services. However, I never bothered to unsubscribe from their newsletter, tho I almost never opened… Read the rest
I’ve set up a WordPress plugin to bring my frequent Facebook links into Peace Arena. To do this, I’m using FeedWordPress, a plugin that automatically pulls in content from feeds as WP blog posts. I was already using this plugin to import posts I make at some of the blogs I maintain for local organizations, but didn’t think of… Read the rest
This morning I got a phone call from an activist friend because her Internet service provider was not letting her send out emails to 200 addresses at a time from within her own personal email account.
Um, yeah they do that, because, as far as they are concerned you are spamming! They really don’t care if you have a coffee-stained… Read the rest
