StatTraq Plugin Speed Improvement

I can’t take credit for this one but I thoguh I would share it. Richard at Boakes.com pointed out a feature in MySql which can really improve performance on applications using primarily insert database calls. Applying this to the StatTraq application provides a potential speed up to your stattraq database insert calls […]

New Look

After playing with WordPress for the last month I decided to use it as a Content Management System or CMS. It is due to this work taking up my time that I haven’t been updating the content as much as usual lately. I hope to get back to regular updates and adding additional content […]

Blogger Hack - Using Blogger to generate RSS 2.0

At the outset this site was to be a learning experience as well as a medium to publish articles for Family and Friends about my expanding family. With this in mind I created a Blog using simple XML storage for the Blogs. I settled on using RSS 2.0 as a storage schema as […]

Make sure event handlers do not require use of a mouse

One of the goals of the website was to meet the W3C WCAG Priority 1 and Priority 2 accesability guidlines. WordPress is making meeting the Priority 2 guidlines difficult but there are some rules around events attached to UI controls that should be followed.

For event handlers that do more than just change the presentation […]

Recipes Revisited

Back in January I discussed the storage of recipe data using XML. Since then I have been playing with RSS feeds and XHTML and thought of using Blogger and RSS Feeds for my recipe storage, but since have moved to WordPress.
I will store the recipes as articles but make sure the articles are valid […]

Pseudo-Class Selector Order

Interesting tidbit I learned today with using pseudo classes. As I’m sure anyone reading this article knows, with pseudo-classes you can style links in different ways in each of the four states.

:link
:visited
:hover
:active

The selector that specified later in the stylesheet will be used if there is any conflict. For this reason, link and link […]

Moved over to WordPress

Well I know I stated that this site was code complete but I never like to sit still. I was researching how I am going to handle the recipe database and am leaning toward using RSS feeds for storage. B…

Code Complete

Well I think we are ready. I believe the site is now code complete. I still need to add much of the content such as photo directory descriptions, descriptions for photos them selves, more photos, and the articles that I have been drafting based on information learned while creating this site.
The markup is now clean, […]

Investigation

I found that my busted blog interface was a pain and that I needed to investigate out of the box solutions as I do not seem to have any time right now with Emery to fix it. So here I am testing Google’s solution blogger.com.
Update: Although Blogger does support comments I also need to […]
