Search Engine Optimized breadcrumbs
I had a need to build some search engine optimized breadcrumbs for a project I’m working on right now. I didn’t want to just use Yoast’s breadcrumbs, because I’m using Twitter Bootstrap, and I wanted to make use of the built-in breadcrumbs support, so I did a Google, found something, tweaked it and am using…

Building plugin-like functionality into WordPress themes: to be, or not to be?
There’s been a lot of talk in the WordPress world about whether or not theme developers should build plugin-like functionality into WordPress themes. After my presentation at WordCamp SLC 2012, it was actually something I was asked about. Seeing how it was a topic of discussion on wpmail.me via ManageWP, I thought I’d throw my 2…

so this is what pro blogging is all about
arcane palette just got our first affiliate commission. this is really exciting for us, because this is essentially like getting free money. and suddenly, i get it. i get how upstartblogger and probably countless other pro-bloggers make their living. it’s not through adsense, on which you make pennies unless you get thousands and thousands of hits a day…

and the award for dumbest news of the week goes to…
the state department, after a “reply-all” storm caused their servers to crash. apparently, not only were people pissed at being included on the reply-all lists, and sent angry replies, but the problem was further compunded by more traffic caused by email recalls. i’m left speechless. read the post and scathing replies on /.
