I migrated from Drupal to WordPress over the weekend and everything appears to be complete now. I decided to switch to WordPress because my site does not require a full CMS and WordPress is, simply put, better for blogging and easier to manage in terms of updates (sorry, Drupal). I still love Drupal...

Since I started using iBlogger on my iPhone, I’ve begun to warm to the idea of using a desktop application for publishing new blog entries. I knew that the developer of iBlogger, illumineX, had a desktop app designed to do this, so I’ve decided to give it a try. This is the first blog entry...

There are a few RSS readers available if you have a jailbroken iPhone. NetNewsWire is coming, too. So why is Google Reader my favorite RSS tool for the iPhone? It’s simple, really.

I signed up for Twitter about a month ago after much resistance. Even after I signed up for it, I hardly used it for several weeks.
