    In my first post on Social Sustainability, where I talked about the importance of sharing, I mentioned that I had been thinking of writing a post about blogging – well, here it is! I know this will be the proverbial “teaching granny to suck eggs” posting but seeing as blogs are such a fundamental tool…

    I’m new to WordPress.com (though been a WordPress.org user since 2004) so forgive me if this is old news but the WordPress.com New Post dialog box doesn’t display properly in Safari (version 5.03 on OS X 10.6.6, at least). If you look at the image below you can see that the Media buttons normally to…

    I gave up! This blog was hacked again and the database taken down. As this is no longer my primary blog (and I post here infrequently now) I decided the best course of action would be to simply take it off my server and give it to WordPress.com to host (the chances of it being…

    WordPress launched it’s long anticipated WordPress app for the iPhone and iPod Touch this morning. See http://iPhone.wordpress.org for more. I downloaded to my iPod and am writing this post using it. The write screen seems quite bare. I don’t yet see how to add links, emphasis or photos to posts. I am sure the functionality…

    I use the Audio Player plugin on a number of sites where I publish podcasts, principally PodLeaders.com The main reason I use it is to simply populate the posts with a Flash player for any podcasts which I post so people can listen to them onscreen. However, since upgrading PodLeaders to WordPress to 2.5 the…

    I read Matt’s post about the release of a beta version of WordPress 2.5 this morning with great excitement (sad aren’t I?) and immediately downloaded it. The screenshots Matt put up look great and I can’t wait to try it out. However, then I had a rare moment of clarity. Waaaait a sec Tom. Let’s…

    I have had isolated reports that since upgrading this blog to WordPress 2.3 and the theme to K2 RC2, this blog crashes the Safari browser. I’m running Safari version 3.03 on my Mac and it doesn’t crash but I’m told version 2.04 does crash. I have tried turning off some of the sidebar widgets but…

    Really odd but since I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 the number of subscribers to my blog has roughly halved. Today it is reading 632. It hasn’t been below 1,000 in at least 6 months never mind down at the 600 mark. I realise that this is likely due to my moving to the newer FeedBurner…
