  • Embedding “non-iframe” versions of Screenr Screencasts on WordPress

    The following is cross-posted from my “FAQs for T4T” blog, which I’ve used again teaching “Technology for Teachers” at the University of Central Oklahoma in the Spring 2011 term.

  • How to automatically publish blog posts to a Facebook page

    A few weeks ago I noticed the Feedburner feed for my blog was not updating. Since changes to my WordPress blog can take awhile, and are “not to be taken lightly” since a mess-up can render my blog inaccessible, I delayed an investigation of the problems creating this situation at the time.

  • All bloggers are not scrape blog pirates

    Bill Keller, executive editor of The New York Times, questions the value of “new media content publishers” in his recent op-ed, “All the Aggregation That’s Fit to Aggregate.” For some reason I’m unable to copy text from his article on my iPhone to quote him, so I’ll add the paragraph which got my attention in…
