Blogging by Touch

iPod Touch that is. Blogging from bed. Gotta say the text entry in iOS is pretty tolerable. I’m pretty sure that I can type faster on the screen than I can I can one the dedicated keyboard on my Palm Centro. Now, I just have to find some extra funds every month so I can upgrade to an iPhone…

Its about time…

Time is something that I’m pretty short on these days.  I’ve been meaning to do some work on the old blog for months it seems.  I’m finally blowing the dust off the keyboard and trying to get stuff back up to snuff.

Step one was to get all my wordpress plugins in order.  Geez, just about every plugin I use was out of date.  Most of them went off without a hitch.  A few needed some random voodoo of deactivating and reactivating.  The last.fm widget needed me to add an include for jQuery.

Next was catching WordPress itself up.  I was pleasantly surprised that the one click update worked as advertised.  No muss, no fuss.

I was getting a little tired of my hacked up version of the original Kubrick theme.  So, I’m gonna switch over to a slightly (ok, really slightly) hacked version of the new twentyten default theme.  Truth be told, I rather like it right out of the box.  I should probably comb through my iPhoto gallery and find my own photo to use in the header.  Baby steps, I know; but progress, none-the-less.

I did recently acquire Build Your Own Wicked WordPress Themes.  Hopefully, that’ll light a fire under me to do something a little more one-off.
