I always neglect my personal site when working on other consuming side-projects. Lately I’ve been hanging out at the wordpress support forums, because my latest project involves wordpress. When I go there to search for answers, I invariably spend a minute and answer a couple of recent threads.
The mood of my reply to those threads [...]
I’ve been working with wordpress a lot lately though there’s no real evidence of it on this site, unfortunately. Nevertheless it’s resulted in a few little ‘tweaks’ which I think may warrant their own little section here. I’ll think about that as keep collecting them.
