A Week’s Worth of Blogging

May 3, 2008 at 3:52 pm

What a week this was. Absolutely nuts, for so many reasons. I did manage to push out a fair amount of blog posts, including one about the main reason things were so crazy.

There will be a dramatic slowdown in blogging soon, because I’m going to be going offline for a little while. That should be … strange.

I’m going to try to post a recap once a week here on MattMcGee.com of all the blog posts I’ve written elsewhere. Hopefully I’ll remember next Friday, too.

Another test post

January 3, 2008 at 2:34 pm

I’m using a Mac program called Mars Edit to post this one. It seems pretty intuitive, but also seems to lack some of the controls I like using in the standard WP admin system. Like, I can save this as a draft, but I don’t think I can schedule it for later posting. That’s a bit of a problem.

The preview function is nice, and it’s super-easy to insert a photo straight from my Flickr stream, Like this:

I can assign a category or add new categories. But I don’t see any way to add tags, which is what this WP template is based on.

Better keep playing around with this one a bit….

The Obligatory First Post

November 9, 2007 at 1:35 am

It’s impossible to try out different WordPress themes without a post. So here’s the obligatory first post. Making the theme selection even more difficult is that I don’t fully have my head wrapped around the plan for this blog/site. I’m about 90% decided that I don’t want this to replace Small Business SEM. I’ll have another domain replace that. I think I want this for personal/fun stuff, but details are TBD.

Time for some sample text for the first post, so I can see how various themes handle text formats.

Here’s an H2 element

And some text to go with it. Mirum est notare quam littera gothica quam nunc. Nam liber tempor cum soluta nobis eleifend option congue nihil imperdiet? Nunc putamus parum claram anteposuerit, doming id quod mazim placerat facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus. Nunc nobis videntur parum clari fiant sollemnes in futurum?

Here’s an H3 element

Qui facit eorum claritatem Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii. Facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus? Quinta decima Eodem modo typi qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari. Etiam processus dynamicus qui sequitur, feugait nulla facilisi Nam liber tempor cum soluta.

Here’s an H4

Qui facit eorum claritatem Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii. Facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus? Quinta decima Eodem modo typi qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari. Etiam processus dynamicus qui sequitur, feugait nulla facilisi Nam liber tempor cum soluta.

How about we do some lists? Great idea!

• Hello.
• How are you?
• What are you doing?

Okay, now an ordered list.

1. Hi there.
2. I’m fine.
3. Thanks for asking.

I suppose I should also do a blockquote to see how that looks, right? Let’s see:

Qui facit eorum claritatem Investigationes demonstraverunt lectores legere me lius quod ii. Facer possim assum Typi non habent claritatem insitam est usus? Quinta decima Eodem modo typi qui nunc nobis videntur parum clari. Etiam processus dynamicus qui sequitur, feugait nulla facilisi Nam liber tempor cum soluta.

Okay, that should do it for text formatting. Time to get this baby on the Interweb.
