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 →
TUESDAY TIPS: Post-It Notes and the Blog Wall
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 →

Quick Tip: Evernote and blogging with WordPress
I like to write my blog posts in Evernote, complete with images. Once a post is written, proofread, tweaked, etc. in Evernote, I'd copy/paste the text into WordPress' HTML editor. (Pasting into the HTML editor instead of the Visual editor gets rid of any extra Evernote HTML.) Once the text was in the editor field,... Continue Reading →
Moving to WordPress.com
I decided to pull the trigger on moving my sites to WordPress.com. I really hope Posterous survives the Twitter acquisition, but I'm not sticking around long enough to find out. I'm also working on eliminating my hosting account at Dreamhost. $120/year was fine when I was hosting a bunch of custom sites, but I don't... Continue Reading →
