WordCast Mugshot Contest Swag – Part 1
(Note: edited at 7:32pm to clean up my inadvertent foul language…who decided the “I” key should be next to the “O” key!? ) Today I received the first part of the goodies I won by entering the WordCast Mugshot contest. I got a Lijit t-shirt and 3 stickers. Now I’m just waiting on a WordPress [...]
Ghost Rider — Simpsons-ized
Ghost Rider has long been one of my favorite comic books, so imagine my surprise and joy to see this in my feed reader this morning… The artist is doing a month of Marvel characters done in the style of The Simpsons. I’m glad he’s doing some of the more obscure Marvel characters. Take a [...]

I could just keep submitting an nslookup request manually, but that requires me to stop whatever it is [...]
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 [...]

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?
