Two Column Lists Using HTML

Posted by Matt on October 1, 2009 with 5 Comments

I know there are a million methods of breaking a list into two columns, but many of them involve additions to the CSS or new tables to be created.  But I like a different way.  The markup is all html, and it can easily be used in WordPress posts (using the view HTML tag at the top of the post editor).  Click to read more…

I am really excited to have to opportunity to go to Catalyst Atlanta this year.  I am going with work, and we have some pretty cool projects we will be working on while we are down there.  One of my primary jobs while I am in Atlanta will be to keep our newest website up to date.  CatalystCouch.com is an all in one resource center for conference goers, and also for those who wish they were at the conference.

Posted by Matt on September 25, 2009 with 0 Comments

Yeah, I am That Guy

Posted by Matt on September 10, 2009 with 0 Comments

A good friend of mine, Ted, let loose an awesome site a couple of weeks ago.  We have all been “that guy” at one time or another, and Ted has now given us a place to rag on one another.  YeahIAmThatGuy.Com is a genius place to go and complain about “that guy.” Go check it out, and submit to the good cause.  You can also hash tag #YIATG on Twitter.

Yeah, There’s a Plugin for That

Posted by Matt on September 3, 2009 with 3 Comments

We joke quite a bit here in the office about how many WordPress plugins there really are.  Currently in the WordPress Repository, there are well over 6,000 plugins for download.  Although I would not recommend all of them, there a tons of excellent plugins that can make your site do pretty much anything you want.  Of course, I have a few favorites.

New Site Design

Posted by Matt on August 27, 2009 with 1 Comments

Welp, if you are here, and have been here before, you probably noticed that it looks different.  I’m going for a bit of a minimalistic thing, since this is now going to be mainly a blog, and not a showcase of my photography.  If you still want to see that for some reason, just click here.  This is the main design that is going to live here for a while.  Small changes are inevitable, because I like to tweak things until they look like crap again.
