One of the reasons I don’t post more is because when I sit down to write something, I feel like it has to be some long complicated thing. I feel like I need to write a draft, revise, rewrite, collect images, blah, blah, blah. Don’t get me wrong—those are all things that usually lead to... Continue Reading →
Flickr Back in 2005, I signed up for an account on Flickr. I wanted to be able to share albums of photos with friends and family, and Flickr did that incredibly well. Eventually, I started making photos public, and discovered the Flickr community. I’ve had exactly one photo make it to Explore, and that was... Continue Reading →
If you've been paying attention, you've noticed two things:
1. I haven't been posting regularly
1. I've moved the blog off of WordPress
The decision to move from WordPress originally stemmed from general slowness. This isn't necessarily WordPress' fault--it was most likely due, in part, to the shared hosting I was using. I switched to Koken, which is an awesome new CMS, but there was no way to import my old blog posts. Finally, I made the decision to move to Squarespace. Page load speeds seem faster, and the interface is pretty slick. Also, I was able to import my old WordPress posts, and create a URL redirect so old links will still work. Unfortunately, the shortcodes I used in the WordPress blog don't translate, so until I have a chance to go through the old posts, you will occasionally notice a naked shortcode or two. I appreciate your patience.
Apologies for the late post, and for being MIA for the last few weeks. I've been a little OCD about the design of the site, and slacked off on the actual content. I'm a visual person. If something isn't in front of my face, chances are I'll forget it. So when Evernote and Post-It Notes... Continue Reading →
Fellow Evernote ambassador, Lindsey Holmes mentioned a service called EverAction[Tags] that allows you to post to your WordPress blog from Evernote simply by adding a certain tag to a note. I've been hoping for a service like this for awhile, now, so I thought I'd try it out. Note: This was originally just going to be for testing, but I... Continue Reading →
If you haven't heard yet, Posterous is shutting down on April 30th. I loved Posterous. Almost as much as I love Evernote. It was the best service available for sharing content just about anywhere. You could send one email, and Posterous would create a blog post, do whatever was necessary to make any attachments look... Continue Reading →
After upgrading to WordPress 3.5, the new "Add Media" button stopped working on posts. This fixed it for me: Having issues with #WordPress 3.5 and the #AddMedia button? This suggestion by JoseVega fixed the issue for me. wordpress.org/support/topic/… — Daniel Hedrick (@danhedrick) December 13, 2012 //platform.twitter.com/widgets.js
I've been using iA Writer on my iPad for awhile now, and just realized I could get it on my Mac. Apparently, it's half price right now, so it was totally worth the $4.99 price tag. I'd have paid full-price for this app. On the iPad, it's a distraction-free, full-screen writing app with minimal bells... Continue Reading →
Like I said in the last post, I like to use Evernote to draft my blog posts. This works great on the laptop, but what about when my phone is all I have? I was just simplifying posts by keeping them to text with one image, or drafting the text on my phone, then waiting till... Continue Reading →
