Geotagging on WordPress.com

Published by Bruce on November 29, 2009 in Quicklinks. 1 response

WordPress.com has introduced geotagging of user profiles and posts. Location is input manually via an integrated Google map or automatically via GPS, the W3C Geolocation API, the Google Gears Geolocation API, or guesstimated from your IP address.

Published by Bruce on July 22, 2008 in Quicklinks. 0 responses

WordPress for iPhone is now available via the iTunes App Store and is compatible with both self-hosted and WordPress.com blogs.

Thankfully—once you know how—WordPress makes doing something about it pretty easy (a characteristic I've come to appreciate). I had tried to fumble my way to coding a drop-down menu for my archives but my initial efforts were unsuccessful. I then discovered that the solution was right in front of me all along. RTFM.

Schedule a future post in WordPress

Published by Bruce on August 28, 2006 in Internet. 16 responses

Since my blog will soon be unattended (by me anyway; it will be overseen by a human minder) for several weeks, I wanted to know how easy it would be to automate a once-weekly post for my image-of-the-week (IOTW) feature. It turns out this is easier done than said—requiring only a few mouse clicks, a calendar, and a single sip of coffee.
