I finally bit the bullet and added the WP-Cache plugin to the site. I do not have a response time problem but this should help if I every get Dugg. I was a little concerned it might break things. Some folks are big fans and others says it causes more problems than it is worth. [...]

Fixing My Technorati Tag Cloud widget
April 22nd, 2007 · No Comments · CSS/WebDesign, WordPress
I have been using the “My Technorati Tag Cloud” widget for several weeks now and I finally decided to fix the HTML validation errors.
The first problem is the embedded CSS in the body of the page. It should be in the header or in the stylesheet. I prefer the stylesheet fix so I commented out [...]

Embracing the Ultimate Tag Warrior WordPress Plugin
April 21st, 2007 · No Comments · WordPress
I finally decided to bite the bullet and switch over to the Ultimate Tag Warrior. The Related Posts plugin “worked” but the posts it said were related were not very related. I was reasonably happy with the Technorati tag cloud. It is closely linked to categories so it showed me were most of my posts [...]

April 20th, 2007 · No Comments · CSS/WebDesign
I added this css to two WordPress themes, MistyLook3 and Andreas09. It did not alter the layout for MistyLook3 besides the line-height in the sidebar. I liked the change so I left it unchanged. However I had to make several changes to the Andreas09 theme to overcome some annoying problems.
I had to add the font-weight:bold; [...]

Using CSS Page Breaks in phpWebSite
April 7th, 2007 · No Comments · CSS/WebDesign, phpWebSite
I spent some time this week fixing up the print versions of some html pages. You could call the pages, product pages, and they are the most likely candidates to be printed by a customer. They looked okay in the browser but they suffered when printed. IE had the most problems. I thought a print.css [...]

If You Don’t Use Del.icio.us, You Will Now
April 6th, 2007 · No Comments · General
I downloaded the Firefox Add-on for Del.icio.us to give it another try. I have been gradually changing my mindset to tagging but so far it has not done anything for me. I did find a problem when I imported my bookmarks and found that I had a bunch of old Sage feeds as bookmarks. When [...]
