Lifehacker 2.0 Redesign - Was this the Best Way to Roll Out?

In was checking my RSS feeds this morning I noticed that Lifehacker has redesigned their web site.
My first impression of the new design was that it was nice - it looked freshened up and modern. The only thing that I would change is that I would have the ads on the left line up with [...]


Jodo Host - The Difference is Night and Day

I really have to give the guys at Jodo Host props for their Technical Support.
I switched this site and my dan.idano.net site last week to their hosting and everything was fine. But then yesterday it was taking forever for pages to load if they would load at all.


New WordPress.net Theme Viewer

A new official theme viewer has been launched by the WordPress gang.
I like the layout and the ability to upload themes directly (I uploaded my Beach House Theme) but the site seems a little slow (maybe because it is so new). Another thing that is new is that you can establish a user name that [...]


Official Response From Godaddy about Hosting WordPress

I figured since I get a lot of traffic from people trying to figure out if Godaddy Hosting can run WordPress without any hitches. I know it is also somewhat of a mystery which plan you need to have in order for it to run properly. Therefore I decided to e-mail support to find out.

Importing and Exporting from WordPress - WPexport Plugin

As mentioned in my previous post I had exported from a wordpress.com blog and imported to a self hosted WordPress setup.
The process was really easy and to be honest I was surprised.
In looking around to see if you could do an import/export from 2 standard Wordpress installs I found that only the hosted wordpress.com blogs [...]


OK, So I Can’t Make Up My Mind

OK, this is the last switch - I promise - at least for this month, maybe year.
I am taking this site back to topics concerning Web Design, Blogging, and SEO. Try not to get too frustrated with me. This site never really had any definition to begin with, it just evolved and now has become [...]


Vip-Hosting Problems

I have tried to hold off as log as I could to try and not post about the terrible service that I receive from VIP-Hosting. Unfortunately it has come to a boiling point now.
Today, again, my hosting is down along with e-mail access. When calling Vip’s technical support I was told that a switch was [...]


This is My Blog - Not Yours

This is my Blog - Not Yours - or something like that. That remark isn’t to anyone in particular except maybe WordPress. As you may know WordPress took over my blog in this post - Getting into my Niche - Blogging with WordPress.
As cool as that sounded after about a week it has turned out [...]


Beach House WordPress Theme

I had designed a simple Beach House WordPress Theme for my uncle’s condo that he was renting. The condo went away and so did the web site so I have decided to share it.
The theme is called Beach House.
It can be viewed and downloaded here.

WordPress 2.03 Update Focuses on Performance

I must have been asleep for the last week because an update to WordPress was released and I did not see it until yesterday.
In looking at the release notes it seems that a lot of the changes had to do with performance.
I have installed it here at idano but really did not see any difference. [...]
