Let’s say you have a really long post. I mean a really really long post. And you want to break it up somewhere in the middle. Or into three or four pages. How do you do it with WordPress?
It’s fairly simple, and uses some built-in WordPress functionality that is hidden.
1. Add the “NextPage Buttons” plugin [...]

I really really hate Google AdWords. I’m quite passionate about it, actually. And the image you see is why.
I haven’t used AdWords in a long time, and it’s because it costs too much. Way too much. But I figured I’d give it another try for one of my projects. So I added a dozen or [...]

After months of planning and saving, my company (Duke Networks) was finally able to spring for a much-needed new Pro Canon camcorder. I finally had the budget for it last week, but there was a huge problem. All of the usual online retailers I tried were either out of stock, or they were charging a [...]

I don’t know about you, but I live in my web browser, day-in and day-out. My browser of choice is FireFox. They recently released an update from 3.0 to 3.5 and it’s great, except for one thing… and it’s bloody annoying.
Previously when you opened a new window, opened a few tabs and surfed around, then [...]

I listen to Sirius satellite radio Octane 20 (hard rock) while I’m working and the DJ, Kayla, today mentioned RUNNER+ on the air, and I captured it! Here it is:
Here’s the post at RUNNER+ about it.

NBC’s new Knight Rider show, based on the popular 80’s show, premieres this February 17th. It features the Knight Industries 3000 (KITT) Shelby Ford Mustang GT500KR created in the vein of the original KITT car that Michael Knight (David Hasselhoff) kicked around with his big poofy hair.
A friend of mine designed the iconic red [...]

The latest WordPress, 2.3.2, frustrates me. It used to be where I could add any plug-in and it would work just fine. A few weeks ago after I upgraded to 2.3.2 I noticed that many of my more interesting plug-ins no longer worked, such as the comment preview plug-in, a few Flickr photo [...]

This is one of the reasons I’ve switched from Windows to Mac:
As a web developer, it’s essential to be able to test a fresh page in as many browsers and environments as possible.

Remember all those really cool Nintendo classic games like Donkey Kong Jr, Super Mario Bros., and Galaga? Well I do, and those are three of my favorites.
Nintendo8.com now has all of these games online, right now. They are all Flash based. Up until now you had to download an emulator to play on your Mac, [...]

Well, I’m not, but one of my sites is!
My sister just called me… turns out her husband, Hank, was reading the New York Times today and came upon an article that mentions RUNNER+! Holy cow… I’m so stoked! I seriously never thought anything I’d do would wind up in the NYT!
I’m going to run out [...]

Now that Google has acquired Jaiku, what does that mean for the even more popular mini-blogging SMS service, Twitter? Well, first I’m surprised that Google acquired Jaiku and not Twitter. I don’t know anyone that uses Jaiku, even though I have mashed it into Runner+. Kind of an odd purchase, actually. [...]

digg_url = “http://christhis.com/archives/147/review-web-hosted-cron-job-schedulers”;
I use DreamHost to host my blog and while it’s a great and fairly inexpensive service, there are some limitations. One is that you cannot run cron jobs without a shell account, which I do not have. A cron job is a frequently executed task, mainly used for running scripts on [...]

I spent the evening “pimping out” my WordPress blog scripts a bit more. I found a cool Flickr badge replacement that is not Flash (shown to the right), added in a plug-in to easily add videos to my blogs, added in my Nike+ run widget, Twitter summary, and perhaps the coolest thing ever: the [...]
