Personal issues came up and while the Twitter Tools tutorial is written, it did not get reviewed. I want eyes not mine to look at it, especially if they don’t know much about WordPress, so I can find out about grammatical errors, spelling errors, and things that don’t work well or are ungainly.

Once I get the feedback from the pre-readers, I’ll edit and put together.

I’ve started the draft version of the Wordbooker plugin, and that will go to them, as well, and then up.

Sorry about the delay, but I want things to look good and be understandable – these are aimed at people who may be starting out for the first time with a WordPress install, and they deserve something of quality.

(Also, this will give me some ideas of my skill at technical writing, which is something else I want to advance.)

Today, I did a presentation on how to configure WordPress plugins for the Seattle WordPress Meetup. It went well – people seemed interested, asked questions and understood what I was getting at.

Afterwards, i had people complement me on the presentation.

I’m pretty please with how it turned out.

sufficiently pleased that I’m going to do a quick how-to for setup for both the Twitter Tools and Wordbooker plugins, explaining how to do basic setup and avoid some of the setup mistakes that I made along the way. It’s part of me giving back to the community.

Expect it tomorrow.

I had to install a CAPTCHA plugin on the contact form due to a spammer.

Not nice at all.

I suppose I would have needed it sooner or later, but I was kind of hoping not to have to worry about it.

If you’re looking for me on Facebook, my personal is Geoff Depew; the one that my WordPress blog autoposts to is Geoffrey Depew.

Similarly, my public twitter is @mephron while the one for the WordPress stuff – the more professional things – is @geoffdepew.

If I mention one or the other, it’s not meant to be hiding things, it’s just that I wanted to separate things a little bit.

I created a new header for the page. I decided I wanted a bit more to it, and I kind of like how it came out.

The hard part was the Power Glove (yes I know) not having a white ring around it, but I managed to brute-force a solution that I think worked out pretty well. I like the look of it, the new subtitle, and you know, I think I’m getting a bit better at some of this stuff.

I got my first spam post here today. It’s like I’ve finally arrived.

(Akismet caught it and sent it to the bit-bucket, so you won’t see it. But really, I never realized how much I’d been looking forwards to it.)
