  • The Folder-Less SharePoint Paradigm

    Folders in SharePoint are a sign you’re doing it wrong. Views, metadata, and content types are the paradigm shift most users never get trained on.

  • The SharePoint Grade Card

    A candid report card on SharePoint’s major features. WSS earns an A, but Designer and the default interface barely pass.

  • Better SEO Titles in WordPress 2.5

    A bane of WordPress development for a long time were the awful titles generated for blog posts. In this post I discuss some PHP code to generate better titles for your WordPress blog.

  • Harvest Reports WordPress Plugin

  • WordPress Plugins for Writers

    For the WordPress users who want their blog to read like a print journal rather than a blog. The plugins I found for footnotes, pull-quotes and the rest of a writer’s typography.

    WordPress already ships TinyMCE, so there is nothing to install to offer the editor elsewhere on your site. The functions.php code to load it from core and keep it updating with WordPress.
