Have I mentioned I love Desktoptopia?

This is the image it just gave me:

 

I thought the HDR (High Dynamic Range, it’s what gives it the illustrated look) effect was really cool, so I decided to play my luck and see if they gave a link to the photographer. Sure enough, they did, and the guy, Trey Ratcliff, has a ton of beautiful HDR images.

His site, Stuck in Customs, has both his official portfolio, and a photoblog. It’s definitely worth a look.

Plus, most of his stuff is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike license. Props to him for that!

JavaScript. My Friend, My Foe.

Aha! After messing around with 1and1’s config menus, WordPress’s config menus, .htaccess files, and a bit of time spent being mildly frustrated, I finally was able to make http://leemckusick.com redirect to http://leemckusick.com/blog, and all it took was 1 line of JavaScript.

I feel like a dork.

Maybe I need to retake 409, hehe.

Plugins

Friday, April 11th, 2008 | Blog | 3 Comments

The [re]birthing pains seem to be abating, and one of the things that I’m really enjoying about Wordpress is the idea of plugins: the little modules that you can add to your site to increase functionality.

The ones I’m currently using are:
Admin Favicon - Automatically adds a favicon (The icon next to the address in the address bar.)
All in One SEO Pack
FeedBurner FeedSmith
Hello Dolly - Originally gives lyrics from Hello Dolly in the admin pages, but tweaked to provide select Shakespeare quotes instead.
Twitter Tools - So glad I’m able to pipe Twitter into here.

Any other suggestions?
