  • Configure Autoposting to a WordPress Blog from Emails via Posterous

    If you manage (or want to manage) a shared or “team” blog, there are several different ways to solicit posts from different people. For self-hosted WordPress blogs, the free plug-in TDO Mini Forms allows designers to create customized forms on sites for contributions. This is nice since it allows specific content to be solicited, and…

  • 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. EduBlogs blogs run on WordPress, and WordPress does not like / does not accept “iframe” embed codes for all user types. If you stay in “HTML…

  • Configure WordPress to auto-correct HTML nested tag errors

    Today enroute to Lubbock for our first “Celebrate Texas Voices” digital storytelling workshop offered by Storychasers, I helped Don Wilson fix a strange error he’d been having on his WordPress blog.

  • 365 Photo Blog: Posterous, WordPress or just Flickr?

    Bob Sprankle has (along with others like Alan Levine) inspired me to start a 365 photo blog in 2011. I’m contemplating options for setting up the blog, and am wondering whether a Posterous blog or a WordPress blog (probably on a subdomain of speedofcreativity.org) would be my best choice? Bob uses WordPress (bobsprankle.com/365) and Alan…

  • WordPress 3.01 Export Problems

    Warning: This is a geeky WordPress call for help! Anyone have suggestions for how to successfully export posts from WordPress 3.01? This feature isn’t working as advertised for me.
