Slocum Design Studio, and a member of their design team, Jonathan Desrosiers, have developed Evernote Site Memory, which allows users to clip a blog post to Evernote in, by my count, two mouse clicks and without having to navigate away from the post. And it may prompt some readers to clip who, in their excitement [...]
Kolakube is a new (to me, anyway) site featuring some outstanding skins for the Thesis Theme Framework. This is a screenshot of the home page of one of their skins, Velocity: Evernote lets you save all the interesting things you see online into a single place. Access all those saved pages from your computer, phone [...]
The designer/developer Jeff Sebring has written a plugin which enables the Post Formats feature into any WordPress theme. The Enable WordPress Post Formats Plugin is described on that page, which includes this download link. We’ve tested it with a number of themes and plugins – all smooth sailing. Evernote lets you save all the interesting [...]
The brilliant logo/identity work for Kambeo is already here. Mr. Cooper may be the best teacher you ever have. Pay attention to him at Kambeo – coming soon. Evernote lets you save all the interesting things you see online into a single place. Access all those saved pages from your computer, phone [...]
Check out this impressive array: WordPress Post Format Eye-Candy: Tumblr Style Theme Inspiration Showcase by Kym Huynh at WordCast. The problem those site designs solve is inherent in WordPress, which will permit the posting of many types of information. Just text alone – WP is ready to accept haiku-or-shorter-length compositions, documents long enough to require [...]
A while back, I posted “Using Dummy Text as Testing Tool,” which was based on 7 Dummy Text Generators: Which Is Your Favorite?, a post by Alyssa Gregory, who blogs productivity, entrepreneurship and related matters at AlyssaGregory.com, Small Business Bonfire, and elsewhere, and is the founder of Avertua, which provides “virtual assistants.” They’re not virtual [...]
My very much past-warranty brain says that I already know how to wrap text around an image – a simple task – but especially as the other blogs grow – we’re trying to standardize post styling, among other things. Big white space – asymmetrically placed images with text hugging the top and bottom margins [...]
There are two principal reasons for getting rid of the many saved incremental revisions of WordPress posts: compliance with your host’s terms of service, and in order to speed up the blog. It’s my understanding to that optimize speed, getting rid of excess files is only one of several necessary steps. A little bit of [...]
At Proof Branding, a really thoughtful, clever group of people use the metaphors of “proof” (as in scientific evidence), and “proof,” as in the measure of ethanol in a beverage containing ethanol – itself a metaphor and idiom indicating “strength” and “purity” – and some really beautiful graphics and text to make a great impression. [...]
Assuming that I’m getting it. You can get it from Otto’s post here: Post types and formats and taxonomies, oh my! A long quote follows, but before we go there, I’d like to point out that (1) I don’t know if Otto is a first or last name or both – but, I’m going to [...]
StopDesign is the personal site of the designer Douglas Bowman, whose work most of us have been seeing for years. For my part, I didn’t realize who he was, although I certainly saw his WebMonkey icon more times than I can count. WebMonkey is, the web design education portal of Wired.com (oddly, there’s a link [...]
I hadn’t heard of CMSCritic until yesterday, when I found A Collection of WordPress theme frameworks. And in that post I learned of WordPress frameworks, paid and free, that I’d never heard of before – as well as those that I’m familiar with -some that I use, others that I’ll try when budget permits. Check [...]
I use OpenOffice more and more, although I’ve been slow to master OpenOffice Draw. In my blogging, and in other work, I often think in visual terms, but don’t necessarily have the skills to make it happen. To be more truthful, I don’t have the skills. And for its many strengths, there aren’t that many [...]
Theme-Junkie, which I learned about today, has 12 WordPress themes on offer, which I have not yet experimented with, and given my current theory that even with the most customizable theme, if it looks like what you want by default, it might just be the right theme for you. Put another way – it’s good [...]
For some time, it’s been my intention to make it to one of the meetings of the NYC WordPress Meetup Group, which is the product of what must be extraordinary efforts by its organizer, Steve Bruner. On Tuesday, I did, for a presentation about customization without code. The first portion was about the Atahualpa theme [...]
A Good Company, also known as “We Are A Good Company,” is that indeed. Came across them through their project League of Movable Type, because I was looking for their font League Gothic. The always amazing Randa Clay used League Gothic in a header logo/wordmark thatshe designed for my primaryweb project, Popular Logistics. A Good [...]

Via Pro Blog Design, an excellent piece: A Comparison of 6 Popular WordPress Frameworks | Pro Blog Design. This comparison of six free frameworks – and with child themes or skins that tend to be less pricey than the equivalents with paid frameworks – was written by Angie Bowen of Arbenting. Evernote lets you save [...]
Jon Smajda is a doctoral candidate in sociology at the University of Minnesota, the author of two very useful WordPress plugins, one of which you’ll see in action momentarily. Pull This is a lovely pull-quote plugin. The primary use of the pull-quote is to emphasize – by repeating and enlarging – one phrase from a [...]
Jason Fitzpatrick – harnessing the swarm intelligence of the LifeHacker community, using their HiveFive format, have come up with their list of the Top Five Domain Name Registrars. I’d add Bluehost to this list, because domain name registration is right there with what seems to be the normal market price ($10/year per domain name), and [...]
By their nature – reverse-chronological order – blogs favor fresh information. But since they’re searchable, internally or externally (via search engi.ne, for example) they become de facto “content management systems.” I’m in the middle of starting a nonprofit, thinking about logo and identity, and found myself – once more – reading a Randa Clay post [...]
WPSkinner has the most complete list of WordPress statistics tools I’ve seen: Top 25 Best WordPress Statistics Plugins and Tools List – this is an area in which I’m playing catch-up – and I suspect that some combination of these tools will be the answer. Its sister site, SmashingUpdates carries paid themes, free themes, and [...]
There’s no “about” page, so I’m not sure if Hongkiat is one person, or many, but when Hongkiat tries to illuminate a problem, it does so with great thoroughness. Some examples: A recent article on data visualization Data Visualization with CSS: Graphs, Charts and More includes, by my count, 29 examples – each with a [...]
