A man is flying in a hot air balloon and realizes he is lost. He reduces height and spots a man down below. He lowers the balloon further and shouts, “Excuse me, can you tell me where I am?” The man below says, “Yes, you’re in a hot air balloon, hovering 30 feet above this…

I did actual coding today – nice to be making progress on the task list again. I’d been allowing my e-mail (sales and support) and all the WordPress theme madness to consume my days lately. I’d also like to mention that the SVN integration in BBEdit 8.1 is slicker than whale snot. I love being…

I think it’s fair to say I completely underestimated the response I would get to the WordPress 1.5 Theme Competition.

I’m been blown away by the number of themes submitted to the Theme Competition – frankly it’s a little difficult to view them all just using the theme switcher. Because of this, I’ve created a Theme Browser and Style Browser to make it easier for people to view and download the themes and styles.

Note: this is one of a series of posts about the creation of the King Design web site. Anyone who has developed a pure CSS layout with any amount of complexity is well aware of cross-browser quirks and limitations. Not all browsers have implemented CSS to the same degree or in the same way –…

Note: this is one of a series of posts about the creation of the King Design web site. I knew the WordPress back-end pretty well up through version 1.2.x, but I was so busy during the 1.5 development cycle that I wasn’t able to contribute much to the 1.5 development.1 Because of this, I had…

A very cool feature of TextMate is syntax coloring for .diff files.

I think I could fill my entire day with responding to e-mails as they arrive.

Note: this is one of a series of posts about the creation of the King Design web site. I’ve used WordPress as a web site CMS in the past, I think with version 1.0.1 and 1.2.x – and let me tell you that version 1.5 is definitely the easiest version yet to use as a…
