I’m tweaking things a little by adding StumbleUpon’s new su.pr service to Pulpconnection. Su.pr is yet another URL shortening service (still under development) but has the appeal of tapping into the popular StumbleUpon “stumbles.”
Su.pr also has its own Wordpress plugin which makes configuration much easier, and su.pr even supports shortening URLs using your own domain. [...]

reCAPTCHA Protection

by Gee Why on May 21, 2009

Interesting. I disabled the WordPress plugin, reCAPTCHA, for one day and in that time, get 10 new user registrations on this site. Probably bogus accounts for spamming. Sorry but looks like I’m reactivating the protection of reCAPTCHA.

Updating Feedburner

by Gee Why on May 8, 2009

in Life

I haven’t logged into Feedburner for a long, long time but had to look into some RSS feed errors I began seeing after installing the 404 Notifier. Seems like Google’s FeedFetcher is looking for Pulpconnection RSS feeds at:
http://www.pulpconnection.net/feeds/posts/default
But since I use Feedburner, my feed location should be:
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/pulpconnection
To fix this, I had to update Feedburner, now [...]

I haven’t been really looking at web stats for Pulpconnection for some time. Visits haven’t been the same since the move to WordPress. Couple the move with less and inconsistent blog posting, and the stats ain’t going to look pretty.
For the month of April 2009, here is the top content:

Upgrading to Thesis 1.5

by Gee Why on April 30, 2009

in Life

Trying out the new Thesis version 1.5 theme for WordPress. Easy upgrade path but looks like some things broke. My customized navigation bar up to no longer shows all my pages and RSS Subscribe, Email, and Twitter links.
The “teaser” function seems pretty cool to changeup the number of full posts and short teasers seen on [...]

Some Changes to Pulpconnection

by Gee Why on April 29, 2009

in Life

Made a few small changes to Pulpconnection which uses the great Thesis theme. In the rightmost sidebar, I added a section to display recent links saved to my Delicious account. You’ll see the “Delicious” section under the “What I’m Doing…” area displaying my tweets.
I added a Facebook plugin to integrate Facebook with Pulpconnection, but it [...]

While on my recent Socal vacation, I didn’t have access to a computer for blogging. Instead I updated Pulpconnection using a combination of mobile devices and various Internet services. Here’s a rundown.
iPhone (and built-in camera). My iPhone 3G was the primary device for getting online. I used its okay internal camera for posted pictures.   
AT&T [...]

Playing with PostRank

by Gee Why on January 29, 2009

in Passion

Playing around with PostRank which could be a contender going up against FeedBurner. I also installed the PostRank WordPress widget which shows the top ranked posts here according to their metrics.
Not sold yet, but time will tell.

Thesis Theme Update Available

by Gee Why on January 29, 2009

in Passion

The WordPress theme, Thesis, that I use for Pulpconnection has a new version, going from 1.3 to 1.4. I haven’t upgraded yet, but the new version features “killer recent entries.” Sounds like a winner.
Read more and download Thesis 1.4 here.

Ow, This Is Hurting

by Gee Why on January 9, 2009

in Passion

So far, moving Pulpconnection from Blogger to WordPress has been painful with regards to site visits. Here’s stats from Sitemeter showing the change from December 10, 2008 to January 9, 2009.

I started making changes on December 23. Starting in 2009, things really went downhill. Hopefully, this WordPress migration starts paying off soon.

The vampire lust of Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight saga continues to grow. The series has inspired its own Wordpress theme based on the artwork of the book covers.

This theme Subtle 0.391 by Glued Ideas may be the one for the WordPress version of Pulpconnection.
