		<description><![CDATA[So a looooong time ago, I released my first WordPress plugin &#8211; expandable jQuery comment replies. I&#8217;ve been remiss in keeping it updated &#8211; it was written for WP 2.7, and here we are, almost on 3.1. So when I released by Back End Instructions plugin, I decided perhaps I should be a good girl and update my old plugin. Updating it locally wasn&#8217;t an issue. however, updating the repository&#8230;. that&#8217;s a different story. I [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So, while I was working on my Back End Instructions plugin yesterday, I was talking to my husband about the client I had built it for. As a quick notation, it&#8217;s a group of women who are of a certain age (no offense to anyone &#8211; I&#8217;m getting there myself!) and who do not like change. It&#8217;s taken me almost three years of pulling teeth to get things to where they are now. They want [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So I was wanting to find a nice, simple method of using Twitter to pull in multiple accounts into a single feed. &#8220;Why would you want to do that,&#8221; you ask? Well, in my case, I was working on a site for a client who runs an organization. The organization itself has a Twitter feed for announcements and such, but its employees each had their own Twitter account as well. So they wanted to pull [...]

		<description><![CDATA[NOTE: October 5, 2010 I just recently used this plugin while developing locally for a client. I did an SQL export of the site to move the testbed to the live server, and was muchly surprised to discover this widget does not get retained in the database for some reason. I had to redo all of the widgets manually. I just wanted to post notice of this bug, because I want you to know that [...]

		<description><![CDATA[With a combination of GeekTool and a little teensy bit o' Google Analytics knowhow, you can ensure that GA isn't including your visits to your own site as part of their reports.  If you're a developer (or someone who frequently visits their own site) this can come in really handy to assist in accurate reporting!

Gmail is one of the hardest to make comply to this small desire.  I've put my travels in the world of creating HTML signature files all in one place so you don't have to wade through everything to get the info you need.

		<description><![CDATA[So I currently have a client that &#8211; no offense to anyone, I swear it &#8211; cannot seem to handle instructions to save his life. I&#8217;ve written two PDF documents, as well as one in Word format, as well as multiple phone conversations, and having an &#8220;Active Collab&#8221; type area where your discussions are stored for future reference &#8211; and finally emails. However, I still find myself repeatedly giving him instructions, because if it&#8217;s not [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Many people feel that moderation of comments of a blog (such as this) is bad practice, and is performed pretty much by people who believe themselves to be the end-all of correctness. Only people who love themselves and care nothing for other people&#8217;s opinions moderate the comments on their site. (This observation, anyway, is something I&#8217;ve seen in my years as a blog-reader and Twitterer, but I don&#8217;t have any direct references to such a [...]

But I realized this morning that I don&#8217;t have a real set list of things to do before I launch a site &#8211; be it a redesign or a brand new site. Again, it&#8217;s a whole &#8220;fly by the seat of my pants&#8221; kind of thing. Using experience and memory to help me through it &#8211; when really I should have something written down. [...]
