If you run your site on WordPress and using it as a content management system, you may have realized that there are categories of posts that you don’t want published on your feed.  There is no easy way to do this through WordPress by default, but that doesn’t mean that this isn’t possible to accomplish.  You can eliminate certain categories …

In WordPress, there are two ways to display a summary of a post that I have found so far.  Depending on your scenario you can use either php the_content(‘Read more…’); ?>  or . I usually end up using both depending on the page that is being displayed and simply choose which with a “if, else” statement.  In most scenarios it …

As WordPress becomes more popular in the Web Designer circles (is that possible?), many of the functions we are looking for are simply not integrated by default.  One of the functions I searched for for a long time was a way to filter comments so pingbacks and trackbacks wouldn’t be displayed on my posts or pages.  I personally don’t care …

As you may have read, I am a fan of Microsoft Security Essentials.  Prior to MSE, I had been using Microsoft OneCare on almost all of my machines, and in case you didn’t know; Microsoft is no longer supporting the product.  Instead, they released MSE to replace it.  With that said, my subscription was about to expire.  I figured it …

Open mouth, insert foot! Ok, after years of being one to point out plenty of Mac problems and faults to everyone I know, I have finally found a reason to buy one.   I have been building and using HTPC’s for years and it took some time to find the hardware and software I was comfortable with.  Setting things up like …

On my daily rounds, I pick up all kinds of good lil’ tidbits for article ideas.  Most of them are relating to Windows flaws or Anti Apple articles, but none of them really cut the mustard.  However, today I am going to pound my fist against the wall at those of US that thought we had less to worry about.  …

I have a lot of friends that are becoming more and more aware of what is going on in the computing world.  As this development matures, I am confronted with more and more questions about the state of technology.  Sometimes, I can very easily explain the idea behind things, but the actual workings of it are somewhat foreign.  Recently, a …
