New Blog for Pilots

I would like to briefly announce a new blog site to you: Passion Aviator. This is a new site focused on general aviation and pilots. This site is an unofficial part of my blog network. I say “unofficial” because the site was my idea and it sits on my server, however it is completely the [...]

Solution - Wordpress Theme Reverts to Default (Kubrick)

OK, as some of you may have noticed if you come here every now and then, this site has been periodically reverting to the big, ugly default theme for Wordpress, known as Kubrick. It has been seemingly doing this all by itself. I thought perhaps it was a bug introduced by the Amazon Media Manager [...]

Wordpress Theme Switch - Solved?

Just as a quick followup, I think I might have solved the issue with this site’s theme mysteriously reverting back to the default Kubrick theme all by itself. Apparently, the culprit is the Amazon Media Manager plug-in for Wordpress. I had downloaded and installed it, and it was activated even though I was not using [...]

MyBlogLog - Community for Your Blog

Last night, I was surfing around, making the usual rounds to keep up with what’s going on.

Essentially, it is a community [...]

Mysterious Theme Switcheroo

Apparently, sometimes Wordpress can kick your ass. Or so it seems. Late last week and Saturday, I put together a new theme for WebbyOnline which (hopefully) you are viewing right now. My reason for the design change is twofold:

The old one was really basic looking
The old one listed comments along the side of the post [...]

Gnomedex 7.0 - Open Registration

I made mention of Gnomedex in today’s newsletter. This morning the event was password protected for some reason, but I think that’s just because I went to the site a little too early. They just today (I think) launched their new re-designed layout. I emailed them asking what the deal was and got an email [...]

FeedBlitz’s Position on SPAM

I recently announced to my Tip of the Day mailing list that I was going to be converting the list over to FeedBlitz. I had one of my subscribers email me saying I was violating my privacy policy and that FeedBlitz is a “known spammer”. I have found nothing indicating FeedBlitz [...]

RSS to Email Services - Followup

Well, my little project for the daily tips from PCMech is being a little delayed by my frustrating search for a good RSS to email service. When I last posted about this whole email thing I’ve been up to, I mentioned that I was going with FeedBlitz. However, I am having second thoughts about that [...]
