This morning I was pleasantly surprised to find a new advertiser had signed on to my blog. The guys at Automattic have placed an ad for VideoPress, and I had to admit that I had briefly looked at the service but hadn't done anything with it yet. I guess this was a good time to [...]
This blog is based on WordPress, and customizing and SEO-ing it is a constant process, so I blog about that quite often. After all, good SEO on this blog makes for lots of visitors, which is exactly what I want of course.
Quick WP tip: pagination classes
One of my colleagues was working on a site for a client of ours, and needed to apply styling to the previous and next post link. As in most of our sites we use Lester Chan's excellent wp-pagenavi plugin so I dove into that to check how I could style it.

Multilingual and Multi Domain Sites in WordPress

Adding Sites to Sociable
While Sociable comes with a pretty large set of sites, there are always people that want to add their own. While this is pretty easy to do, you'd have to update the plugin every time it's updated, which is quite often, so that's not really a workable solution.
