Dynamic Page Graphics in WordPress
Recently, while developing a WordPress theme for a client, I devised a handy trick to use different headline graphics for pages (it should work for posts too) based on the page title. The basis of the trick is to name your headline graphics the same as the pages they are to show up on (ex. [...]
Layout Change
Nothing major, but you might notice a new block below on the home page. I added a section (powered by FeedWordpress) to pull in my ride logs from VeLog via RSS. This way, I only have to remember to post them in one place, and they automagically get posted to the blog too. Isn’t Web [...]
CTC Updated, Version 4.5 Released!
Just a quick note to let everyone know that I have bumped everyone’s favorite tag cloud plugin for WordPress 2.3+ to version 4.5. What’s new? The biggest change is the addition of an Options page for configuring the plugin when used as a template tag. As always, you can see the full changelog, get the [...]

Fun With Shell Scripts: autons
Being a freelance web developer, there are many times where I’m moving domains for clients (or more recently, myself), and need to know when the DNS entries change to point at the new version of a site. I could just keep submitting an nslookup request manually, but that requires me to stop whatever it is [...]
Wow, How True This Is…
Advertising is culture. In between advertising we do things like talk about what we have been up to, but all we have been up to is following the instructions of advertising. Going to the gym, going to Burger King, downloading the latest music or driving the latest car. If you think about it, even non-sponsored [...]
We’ve Moved!
I’m sure you noticed that things look a bit different around here. I figured as long as I was transferring the site to a new host (no more 1&1…hello DreamHost!), I’d do some early spring cleaning and spruce things up a bit.
CTC – Version 4.1 Released
Just a quick release to add a feature and fix one. The new feature is the ability to randomly sort the tag cloud. This option will show a completely different order of the tags to each visitor to your site. Not really earth-shattering, but it was asked for, so there it is. The fix is [...]
CTC – Version 4.0 Released
Hot on the heels of version 3.1 (and the very minor 3.2) comes the all new version 4.0 of my configurable tag cloud widget for WordPress 2.3+. What makes it new, you ask? Well, how about the ability to include your WordPress categories in your tag cloud? It’s a feature that people have been (erroneously) [...]
