A blog where I write anything that comes to mind.Get rid of the Sociable plugins. Do it yourself!
While i am at the topic of WordPress tweaks here is another one. Since i started coding plugins, i keep encouraging people to minimize their plugin needs. They are resource hungry and may cause problems due to security issues on your blog. There are those that agree...
Adding a “featured” post on your theme
Here i am with another coding tweak for your WordPress blog. I don't want to repeat my self on how you should try to avoid using a plugin when something can be done by hand. This task, adding a featured post on your frontpage, i must admit is a bit more complicated...
Update to WordPress 2.7 for $25!
A few days ago i brought up a small portfolio site for my services. I decided to start seeking clients for freelance jobs. Obviously, i haven't had any luck yet, so i decided to proceed with an offer. WordPress 2.7 will be released on December 5th 2008 1AM UTC (less...
How can a WordPress plugin be unsafe
I recently read this comment. What the commenter said is that a WordPress plugin can pose a security risk for your site. That is entirely true. You must remember my post about minimizing plugin use and doing whatever can be done by hand. That is one of the reasons....
Portfolio site is up!
As you all know, recently, i made an effort to find a way to earn the costs for my server. My thought was to put up some ads (a couple of them on the top section to be exact) so the payoff would be just fine. It is true that i didn't like my option since i don't like...

WordPress Categories for hardcores or… masochists!
It's been a while since i wrote an article for this series. All the "masochists" out there must be wondering. The truth is that firstly there was no interesting topic to write about and secondly it is pretty hard to write such an article since it needs a lot of...
Delete post revisions without any plugin
You know i'm all for "If you can do it yourself then don't use a plugin". That goes, without saying, to my plugins too. So, i saw a plugin recently doing a very useful thing, cleaning up post revisions. But what is a post revision? Well, it's a safety measure the...
Earning the costs
In the past i have been negative on advertising on any of my sites. I then twisted that and opened the "Member of the Month" section where the top commenter gets his banner on my sidebar free of charge for a month. This was not all that bad since it is actually a way...
Don’t use a cannon…
On my early days of computers and programming i used to be fanatic and passionate about the programming tools I used. I still remember the early days of Java programming. I would bet that no other language is there except for Java. Today, i still think that it is a...
