Highlight Source Pro - A must have Plugin for Code Whores
If you’re like me and occasionally need to post code snippets in your wordpress powered blog posts, then you absolutely adore the highlight source pro plugin by Christian Knoflach. Gone are the days of hard to read and uncopyable code snippets. Highlight Source pro not only displays your code as a preformatted text via the [...]
A few pet peeves with WordPress 2.5
Please keep in mind that these are just my opinions and that the behavior I’m experiencing may be due to my server configuration, but there are a few things about the new WordPress Admin panel that just really annoy me.
I don’t mind fixed width layouts but please, if you’re going to use fixed widths, center [...]
Protecting or regaining your Google PageRank with meta tags
If you are a blogger that accepts paid posts or paid reviews, you have either experienced or will experienced Google’s policy of wiping your PageRank to zero. I have seen several methods posted on other blogs for counteracting this issue. The most notable of these methods has been to cave completely to Google and [...]
A little Structure for your WordPress Powered Blog
It’s not often that I come across a WordPress theme that I almost instantly fall in love with. It’s even less common when that theme claims to be a “Magazine Style” theme, but when I downloaded the Structure theme from Justin Tadlock, I was hooked from the get-go.
Let me say right off the bat that [...]
Gearing up for another go at WordPress MU
I’m working out the details of a project I’ve had planned for a very long time. This project will be using WordPress MU as the back end system, and I’m looking over requirements as I write this.

Should be centered
So far so good! In older versions of TinyMCE, if you added a <div> tag, it was [...]
Wow those WP coders are fast!
It was just 2 days ago that I reported on the latest version of WordPress in-testing, and that there were issues with more than a few things. In those two days most of those issues have been addressed. While there are still more issues for the team to worry about, they’re getting worked out at [...]
My first thoughts on WordPress 2.5
You can’t tell from looking at it, but this blog is running the latest and greatest version of WordPress. As a matter of fact, SpunPuppy has run a testing version of WordPress since it went live. It was only today I remembered that I hadn’t updated the test code for a while, so I ran [...]
A WYSIWYG plugin for WordPress that will make you smile
One of the largest shortcomings of the WYSIWYG editor bundled with WordPress is that like may so called “smart” editors, it likes to change your code for you. Visual editors are notorious for this, and have been for years. It seems that the designers of these editors just “know” that what you were [...]
Remastering the MasterPlan’s Morning After WordPress Theme
It’s not often that I come across a WordPress theme that gets me excited. Most themes out there are nothing more than souped up versions of the default WP theme. Kubrick. While I have nothing against a simple layout, the fact of the matter is that most of the sites I run require [...]
