Spuneam ca am capatat inspiratie si entuziasm nou? Una din chestiile pe care vreau sa le reinventez o reprezinta si blogul.

Mai clar, vreau sa il reorganizez la nivelul:

categorii – in principiu o sa contina 4-5 mari categorii: casual blogging, tehnologie, scrieri/eseuri, divertisment, tutoriale si cateva subcategorii. Va fi, evident, ingrozitor de [...]

Note: although highly similar, this is not entirely the theme I currently have on my blog, but a simplified (ligher) version of it.
I’ve been using a self-made wordpress theme for the last half year and eventually decided to share it with the world.

Is there anything to be added? It’s Wordpress blogging client native iPhone app, it’s free it’s on AppStore, it’s really cool looking, has tags, categories, can be used with several blogs at a time, lets you take pictures, upload and post them to your blog in a couple of seconds.

Only a couple of months after Wordpress 2.5, Wordpress 2.6 was released 5 days ago. The blogpost on Wordpress.org tells us that Wordpress 2.5 branch is now discontinued.
Wordpress 2.6, while remaining plugin/theme compatible with the previous version adds the following:

If, like me, you had been using Ultimate Warrior Tags (UTW) to assign Technorati-compatible tags to your article, then you must have been as annoyed as I was when upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.2 or Wordpress 2.3.3.

I’ve started and (rather) successfully managed around 7 blogs until now. Each attempt has been a bit more successful than the previous one, each building on the shoulders of its predecessors. So, since nothing beats a little bulleted list, here they are – top ways to bring traffic to your freshly launched blog:

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: This article was published more than 2 (TWO) years ago. It has helped, apparently, quite a lot of people migrate to Wordpress. However, there are high chances it has become highly outdated or even harmful. Before trying the steps and script I described here, you should try to use the migration script included [...]

My tiny blogger experience (I’ve installed, configured and maintained more than 7 wordpress blogs, about 5 Blogspot ones and one Textpattern) made installing the must-have Wordpress plugins for this new blog a breeze. This comes mostly from having made myself a list of the MUST-have plugins. Vital for some, nice-to-have for most, they can make [...]

Back in 2003, when I switched from my LiveJournal blog to my own domain, I’ve asked around about the best CMS for blogging. People recommended me Textpattern, and after playing with it for a while I decided to go for it. After all, Textpattern is very stylish, gives you the feeling of actually writing stuff.
