Web Directions Photo Meme

Tuesday, August 28th, 2007

So Miles has tagged me with Web Directions Photo Meme to celebrate less than a month to go to Web Directions South 2007, that there are more digital cameras than people attending these events and to prove that I actually attended in the past and had a very good time doing so as well as [...]

PodCamp

Thursday, July 19th, 2007

A few days after BarCamp Perth 2007, one of the Perth Twitter Mob found the PodCamp Australia and it was passed quickly through the local social network.

At that time the PodCamp site was very bare, there was no information about the people behind the concept, just an About PodCamp page and a sign up page. However, after the buzz of BarCamp Perth 2007 the opportunity for another unconference concentrating on the social side of the web was to good an offer to refuse …

This blog now with advertising

Friday, July 13th, 2007

After Miles’ post about making money blogging and an approach to sell text link advertising on a certain post. I have finally taken the plunge and put advertising on this blog. I know I said I would in last December, well I finally did it. Some advertising might also appear in my RSS feeds, so be warned.

AKA eight semi-random feeds

After being tagged by Gary for the Eight Pieces of Random meme and putting it off, Kay pushed me into action by her response Eight random things? You’ll be sorry…. So here are eight feeds from my feed reader, not exactly random as I picked the less obvious feeds to highlight.

moblogging, wordpress and a dopod 838pro

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

It is easy, I am blogging while waiting for my lunch. But it also has a few challenges, wordpress is not pretty or intuitive on IE on WM5, the keystroke combinations to enter HTML is painful, cutting and pasting from other windows difficult, but it can be done, so expect more mobloggig from me.

POSH or not ?

Monday, April 23rd, 2007

After reading Plain Old Semantic HTML (POSH) on the microformats wiki, it left me wonder exactly what is a POSH site. I agree with the POSH and will adopt any principles I am not currently using for the next version of this blog, I don’t know if it will make the grade as a POSH site.

The problem is that …

Annual CSS naked day

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007

It is that time of the year for well formed sites to show off their proper use of html, semantic markup and good hierarchical structure. For more information see the Annual CSS Naked Day Site.

So for the next thirty six hours or so this site will be without it’s stylesheets. I had to do a little extra work, removing the IE only stylesheet and removing the javascript that inserted the flash images, otherwise you would end up with a couple of 1200px wide flash images on each page. The orange will return on Friday.

or why the Jebediah photoblog image is so small

One of the reasons I started the photoblog, was to experiment with the various web based photo applications, to find one I was going to use for the next couple of years. I had to start playing with one app, so I started with zooomr. Why because I had to start somewhere and zooomr are offering a free upgrade to a pro account to bloggers, who display their images hosted on zooomr with the tag line hosted on zooomr.
