Google Buzz test

chris — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 02:44:49 +0000

First test post after connecting my blog to buzz.

Pretty easy once I realized that I had hidden the xfn relational section in my links editor >_<. Set up reciprocating rel=”me” links on my blog and google profile, force a google re-crawl at https://sgapi-recrawl.appspot.com, and voila!

Thanks to Dave for the info.

Smugmug Integration to a Degree

chris — Tue, 24 Feb 2009 14:43:54 +0000

Ran across this a plugin called SmugWP while trying to decide on the best way to handle adding pictures to my posts. The great feature that caught my eye is that it integrates your smugmug account to wordpress seamlessly. When you go to insert a picture, the plugin inserts a tab for smugmug in addition to the regular options. There’s also lightbox 2 support as well, which creates a very cool overlay effect for viewing pics when you click on them (rather than simply opening it in a new window). Here’s a couple pics from when we were on the mall for Obama’s inauguration. Settings I used were thumbnail for the pic, large lightbox size.

iPhone WordPress plugin and theme

Edit: Thanks Jed for pointing out I actually installed WP-Touch instead of IWphone. haha.

I seem to be more interested in setting my blog up to do cool things, than actually writing about said cool things. One of the plugins I’ve found is called WP-Touch. When it detects the user agent from an iphone or ipod touch, it sends a version of your blog that’s formatted for the iphone. There’s also an option for the visitor to see your blog with the original formatting if they so choose. I’ve included a couple screenshots I snagged while writing this post.

pineapple

For me, the word pineapple always makes me think of quake as that was a term associated with grenades. In pineapple express, it refers to weed.

Anyway, thanks to becca for the preview. As my tweet said, the first two story arcs were hilarious while I found the last act lacking. I think it just felt like they ran out of jokes and decided to shoehorn an action sequence onto the movie to wrap things up.

I did super appreciate the little touches and object placement. Two that stood out were the footprints poster in James Franco's place and the bartles & james bottles in red's bathroom.

Sigh, I was trying to post this from my iphone, but I can't figure out how to scroll a textbox up/down. Meh.

Anyway, it's worth seeing for the buddy/weed jokes.
