I found a rather interesting (and amusing) quote in my recent reading: In March 1949,[...] an article in Popular Mechanics, describing a state-of-the-art computer called the Eniac, speculated on what lay beyond: “Where a calculator like the Eniac today is equipped with 18,000 vacuum tubes and weighs three tons,” the writer predicted, “computers in the [...]

I’ve just released Virtual Multiblog for WordPress version 2.5. This has some significant bug fixes and other improvements. If you’ve had trouble getting it to work in the past, I’ve reworked the code that determines which blog is active, and I think this will help a lot of people.

I received a comment recently tipping me off to a bug in my Virtual Multiblog system for WordPress. In certain cases, the system will show one particular blog no matter which address you go to.

Just trying out Google’s new browser, Chrome. The admin back end for WordPress (that is, the page I’m working on as I type this) is blazingly fast running on Chrome. Faster than Firefox, IE or Safari — as in: No Contest. Google set out with a specific goal: to create a browser that is designed [...]

One of the most common questions I get regarding the Virtual Multiblog system for WordPress comes from people wanting to have multiple blogs running on the same theme, but with a different header for each blog. It can be done, and it’s fairly easy to do. Once you have it set up, you could use [...]
Comment Quiz plugin v1.1.1
A new version of the Comment Quiz plugin is up. 1.1.1 has some important bug fixes, so if you’re using any earlier version, I highly recommend picking this up. I finally figured out SVN, so it’s on the official WordPress repository. In layman’s terms that means that automatic update will do the job for you [...]
