WordPress 2.7 theme and plugins
Feb 4th
It’s been a while since I upgraded to WordPress 2.7. If you host your own WordPress blog and haven’t yet upgraded I strongly recommend the upgrade. If for no other reason than threaded comments is now part of WordPress. Finding a theme that is built for WordPress 2.7 and then activating threaded comments in the Admin section will add a whole new level of commenting to your blog. I subscribe to the delicious tag wordpress+theme and wordpress+plugins to find the latest and greatest themes and plugins that people bookmark. I’ve found it to be the best way to keep up with the More >
My Podcast Set-up
Dec 8th
I like it when other podcasters share their set up. A thanks to Leo Leporte, one of my favorite tech podcasters….or is that netcaster. I’ve learned a lot about podcasting just listening to the different shows he produces.
I wrote this page for the Shifting Our Schools site to share with others the set up I use to stream, record, and converse all at the same time. I thought I’d share it here as well. You can find links to the different equipment I use at my Amazon Store as well.
WordPress MU plugin list for school install
Nov 19th
This Tweet from Sarah came across my screen yesterday:
So here you go…a list of plug-ins we have running here on our WordPress MU 2.6.3 install. Please note that this site has been created for teachers to communicate with parents. As of now that is its function within a larger picture of a learning/communication portal we are creating here.
This is a list of installed plugins so far. If you have others that you feel are must haves please leave a comment as I’m always looking for ways to make this a better platform for teachers.

One small step for EARCOS
Aug 13th
The EARCOS Staff
I had two great days in Manila spending time with the EARCOS team looking at how technology and the web can help to streamline some of their internal practices and also looked at how EARCOS can use technology at both it’s Administrator and Teacher conferences to help connect participants.
Up until now, the team at EARCOS has been sending a Word Document to those giving workshops. The presenters fill out the form and then e-mail it back. The EARCOS staff then copies that information into a FileMaker Pro database where they create the schedule.
So we sat down and talked and More >
WordPress 2.5, my plugins, and a new look
Apr 7th
I spent this past week playing around with WordPress 2.5. A great release that loads faster, a new admin side that I love and some new themes to play with.
So let me know what you think…I’m still testing it on all browsers and there an issue at the very bottom with the about part sliding down the page. But then again…this site is always a work in progress.
The theme is called Padangan 1.3 by Nurudin Jauhari. I fell in love with it and the php and css is very easy to hack up with clear image files as well. I love good More >
Looking for Dedication
Mar 7th
So what happens when you put 1200+ Moodle Users in 88 courses and 560+ WordPress blogs all on the same shared hosting server? You exceed your CPU usage.
We have been getting this warning for a couple of months now, but as we continue to add more blogs and users in Moodle, it’s happening more frequently. Yesterday I was trying to help a 5th grade class learn how to add pictures to their blog posts, while another class was blogging in a computer lab, and a class of 7th graders where blogging about their YouTube videos. Not one class accomplished their More >
Mobile your blog
Jan 11th
via bloggingpro.com comes the WordPress Ultimate Gamer’s Pack with three plug-ins to make your blog viewable on mobile devices.
Those plug-ins include:
- WordPress Wii Edition Plugin
- WordPress DS-Lite Edition Plugin
- WordPress PSP Edition Plugin
To that I would add the WordPress PDA plugin and that about covers it.
I already have the PDA plugin installed and used it while in Vietnam to view my site via my Palm T5.
Why would you want to install these? Because you’re a geek.

New theme, new plugins, new skills
Dec 9th
My wife is at a conference in Taipei, Taiwan this weekend (another stamp in the passport) which mean I’m left here all alone with my computer. That’s usually not a good thing. I’ve been wanting to change the look of The Thinking Stick, so today I dove in, found a nice theme that I could work with and spent the day learning more about php. So, here is a run down of the new plugins and theme. Still messing with it a little bit, but for the most part it’s pretty complete.
