Hear Me Again!

Posted by: scottmccord on: October 21, 2008

Okay, so I’m getting pushy. I’m not going to say too much about this one. I gave up on using GarageBand pretty quickly to create my second podcast. And I explain why within the podcast. I have not made many changes to the process except for a change in the player settings. I want to [...]

Getting Myself Heard …

Posted by: scottmccord on: October 21, 2008

First things first: I want to express my gratitude to fellow 246 student Israel Yanez, both for suggesting the podpress plugin and for being willing to talk about its usage on his own time. As plugins go, this is one of the easier to activate. There is generally no need to edit theme or plugin [...]

New Theme Among Other Things

Posted by: scottmccord on: October 10, 2008

After many failed attempts to get the Meebo Me widget properly embedded in my old sidebar – first the old WP-Andreas theme did not include a dynamic left sidebar, then its right sidebar was too narrow to accommodate even a medium-sized IM widget – I finally settled on a new blog theme. So far, I [...]

Nietzsche Family Circus Added to Blogroll

Posted by: scottmccord on: October 7, 2008

It doesn’t belong in the blogroll. I need to create another link category. The Nietzsche Family Circus is hosted online by some L.A. based publication called Losanjealous; the site generates random quotes from the telegraphic nineteenth-century German philosopher as captions for Bil Keane’s charming single-circle comic family. Every time the page is refreshed a new [...]

Digg Me

Posted by: scottmccord on: September 23, 2008

Will somebody please hit the Digg It button on one or two of these posts? I can’t tell if the plugin is working properly. I have hit a few of them myself, but once I do, that’s unfortunately the limit. I am not allowed to stuff the ballot. Neither are you I’m sure. But so [...]

Why I Am Not Changing the Name

Posted by: scottmccord on: September 23, 2008

My dear friend Debra Occhi, an anthropology scholar at Miyazaki International College in Japan sent me this YouTube link (commenting in my About page). I had to incorporate it here, and that means the name sticks. Oh that good old cheesy animation – which we once upon a time called that bad old lazy animation. [...]

Set up and Maintenance (so far)

Posted by: scottmccord on: September 10, 2008

Setting this site up with its bare bones proved simple enough. Results of my tweaking and fiddling with it have been mixed. I’ve not used WordPress before, but it seems to be both robust and fairly intuitive. Once installed in my directory on senna, the first order of business was selecting my theme. I uploaded [...]

Plugins

Posted by: scottmccord on: September 10, 2008

I have installed 2 plugins to this point – one visible to you and one not. The latter is Statpress, available to me from my dashboard. Among other things it allows to track visitors to The Archies 246, by the day (4 yesterday) and over time (12 since the site has gone up). This one [...]

Classification

Posted by: scottmccord on: September 9, 2008

Blogposts so far are not categorized. How could they be? There are six to this point (including this one). And if I were to determine categories each should be lumped under something like miscellaneous. No. I will wait until the posts begin to take a set of shapes. Then I will begin the classification scheme. [...]

Comments are Enabled

Posted by: scottmccord on: September 9, 2008

I think this has something to do with my adventures trying to add one of the Flickr plugins. There have been no comments to my blog within the last few days … probably because I changed my permalink structure, from default to date and name. I have not been able to complete the plugin activation [...]

  • Mindy: Reminds me also of reading the horoscope (which I no longer do). They are also written in a manner that you can stretch yourself to fit.
  • Jeffra Bussmann: Scott, this is an excellent blog post on yahoo pipes. I love the picture at the top, and how you embedded your pipe "stuff." Thanks!
  • Bean: First off: I've finally finished Fable II although there is much to do after the main storyline is complete. :) I don't know that I'd describe myse
