For my regular readers out there, you’ll notice I’ve been blogging consistently each Monday afternoon for several months… until last week. I missed my deadline for posting and was quite displeased with myself for doing so. That being said, missing my streak gave me time to consider the concept of the streak, how I feltContinue reading “Being flexible with your own schedule”

Saying “You’re Welcome”
I pride myself on being someone who is keenly aware of the underlying meaning of words and the ways in which we say them. Being this way is both a gift and a curse, yet it forces me to be very conscious of the words I’m using to express myself. This is all well andContinue reading “Saying “You’re Welcome””
Batman doesn’t get paid
Bruce Wayne, however, is a multi-billionaire. While not much emphasised as a contrast within the Batman storyline (rather choosing to emphasise Batman and Bruce Wayne as one in the same), I feel this contrast between Batman and Bruce Wayne has a hidden message I’d like to explore further.
Words which change meaning and how they work
Looking back, I have fond memories of the “early days of the internet” (well, as we see them now, anyways) where I’d get home from school, hop onto the computer and chat using IRC (Internet Relay Chat), mostly with others I’d seen at school not an hour or two earlier that day. While at theContinue reading “Words which change meaning and how they work”

One such discussion is around post thumbnails 1 and, more specifically, how to specify a default thumbnail. After reading a few discussions around this, I thought I’d share my take on things. There are aContinue reading “Default post thumbnails in WordPress”
Matty, Y U NO BLOG THIS WEEK?
Greetings, Wally watchers… long time no chat. You may have been popping in here this week and thinking, “why isn’t he blogging every day, after he said he’d aim to do a post a day for the whole year?”. I’ll explain why I’ve been quiet on here for the past few days. 🙂 Over theContinue reading “Matty, Y U NO BLOG THIS WEEK?”
Daily blogging, what to write and who to blog for
So, now almost a month in and Project 365 is still going strong. At this point, I thought it a good idea to touch base and get some feedback from you all on this month’s posts so far. It’s often said that one should blog first and foremost for oneself. If you like a topicContinue reading “Daily blogging, what to write and who to blog for”
GROW BootCamp 2012 – The Creations
At the GROW Academy 2012, Jeff and I have been discussing and showcasing WordPress and what it can do. We’ve been working with the recruits, setting up WordPress.com websites and learning the system. We thought it’d be a cool idea to showcase what the recruits of 2012 have compiled.
