  • Easing Demo Page

    I just couldnt get my head around the new easing naming conventions. (jQuery Plugin) So I made a cheat sheet page. (REMOVED) The naming convention is so techie.  I really can’t get my head around them and what they mean.  Some of them are so subtle in their differences, I can’t even tell if it’s…

  • The UX of PageRank

    Why do I care about PageRank?  It’s not like I have, nor desire, any ads.  I don’t even have much traffic.  Yet, recently when my pageRank went from 4 to 5 in the google toolbar, I got this warm feeling. It makes me  wonder if there is a UX nugget in here somewhere.  How can…

  • Mo Upgrades

    FINALLY I fixed the comments. Ugh that was hard. I have no idea how I fixed it. I installed some new plugins. Then removed one and it started working. The one I added and then removed was ShiftThis.net | Swift SMTP. It didn’t work at all. I gave it my smtp information and it just…

  • WordPress Upgrades

  • The Long Tail

  • Hosting Review Sites

    I posted a review to what seemed to be an objective hosting review website.  I got an email from the “editor” who talked to me about my experience.  It was obvious that I was a real customer and my problems were well documented. It turns out that these hosting review sites are sponsored by the…

  • Hosting – One month in

    My uptime stats have improved greatly with Bluehost.  Lunarpages clearly was having uptime issues, at least with the server I was on.  The stats are even worse than they appear for Lunarpages.  I switched about Sept 23, because it was so bad.  Since then, there have only been 2 failed attempts by Siteuptime. What is…
