I’ve talked about this point before, so I’ll be concise. It’s how people who write personal blogs have an onus placed on them to lead interesting lives. Unfortunately, this isn’t always possible. Like, sure, there are somedays where I get off my ass and do stuff, like go to the zoo, which is great. Then, [...]
One of the things that people seem shocked at when I talk to them about blogging is the sheer fact that I report so intimately on what’s happening on my life. It’s so public! they cry. They say the same about Twitter – but that’s usually more about every day things, like gastro-tweeting what I [...]
The scare of this morning is over. I woke up this morning and found a post of an unsuitable nature for this blog. Basically, something you wouldn’t want your mother/employer to see. It was stickied at the top of the blog, had no comment field and didn’t show up in my list of posts, and [...]
…Can be found here. I’ve updated it and made it timeless. I made it timeless by removing any bands I’d previously named as ‘favourites’. The problem is that my ‘favourite’ artist changes every week. Last week it was Louis Armstrong, this week it’s Anthony Rapp, next week it’ll probably be someone like Yo Yo Ma. [...]
Although my blog allows anyone to comment freely, and it appears immediately on the site, not every blog does this. This is called comment moderation, and there are three main styles of it: Group 1: Like mine, blogs that have no moderation in place Group 2: Blogs that require your first comment to be approved [...]
The great thing about news blogs is that there’s always something happening. There’s big things, like Russia annexing another country, another bank going under, or Victoria Beckham picking her nose, to small things, like, I don’t know.. the Leaving Cert :) Photo owned by malias (cc) Yes, there’s always something news-worthy (broadest term ever, as [...]
So, now that my week long acting course is finished, myself and Den15, aka, my dad, got down to getting the internet all fixed up. That sounds so much more badass than it actually was. We basically just created a new network and fiddled around with some settings. Having said that, we have working internet [...]
Sitting in the kitchen, busily tap-tap-tapping away on my iPhone. “Tommy! How is this possible? Did you set up that post-via-email feature?” No, not that! I haz a WP 2.8! No more spending 10 minutes every time trying to log in to post something on-the-go, no more making the iPhone screen zoom in 50x to [...]
Myself and my brother John have been.. not exactly at odds, but certainly arguing. You see, I’m currently running WordPress 2.3.3, which is a very old version of WP indeed, as 2.8 is in the process of being released. Now, for the most part, that’s fine. Sure, it’s a different layout, but that’s just a [...]
After a quick break, I’ve decided to bring back categories. If you point your eyes that way, *indicates sidebar*, you’ll see my categories. Ignore ‘uncategorized’, it shows my laziness from earlier. We’ll try to keep it simple. No 40 categories like last time, spanning 2 posts apiece either
