    being able to post asides, and do so directly from the dashboard is going to seriously influence how i keep my blog updated and how often i post…

  • wp-o-matic trick

    discovered a trick about wp-o-matic as i was building the new site. for wp-o-matic to work and not lag, you need to set up a cron job. but said cron job doesn’t *necessarily* need to happen on the host server. so, if you have a server that allows cron jobs (which i do, at home)…
