I really cannot contain myself over how amazing this WordPress solution is. The plugin selection is insane and I keep finding more and more stuff I want to use. That last post, if you saw it when I first wrote it, you saw a whole lot of blockquotes which looked pretty drab and a whole [...]

Ok, so here goes a small how-to on how I managed to multi-user a WordPress install without any extra installs or WordPress branch projects. The goals were: allow users already registered on oharaweb.com to create a fresh install keep the rank based user base of oharaweb.com to allow only those registered with a rank of [...]

Ok, I think what my main issue is dealing with code bugs and keeping up-to-date with the latest necessary web tech. As much as I always wanted to maintain and have created my own site and the code within, it really no longer is my main job and rather my hobby. And at that, I [...]

So last night I was browsing around doing god-know's-what, and I had this urge to figure out how people were coming up with forum signatures that showed their WoW stats. They were really simplistic (name/server/level/race/class) and figured they were just scraping some page somewhere, perhaps even a service provided by someone so long as they [...]

damnit! I can't easily let go of a problem, especially code and now I'm up way too late. So here I am trying to implement a new comment system for my site(s) so they a: don't get spammed, and b: are more efficient and use the same code everywhere for every comment section. I know [...]

I talked to at least Sue earlier about recreating the wishlist feature of the site in a more robust manner in time for the holidays, and well, I got around to it. If you're at least logged in and registered, you'll see a new menu item under the right hand user menu. “Wishlist”. Go there [...]
