Even though my blog is self hosted, I like many wordpress users use wordpress.com stats from the Jetpack plugin. This year, the great people at WordPress.com decided to create some really great looking Annual Reports for blogs using wordpress.com stats. In 2011 I wrote only 12 posts, which is really pathetic, but nowhere near as …

Returning to Blogging
I revisit my blog after a busy May, 2011 including going to Google I/O 2011 and what do I see as the last post on my blog, a short stinger post about Google I/O 2010. This simply won’t do. I’ve written other blog posts in the last year, they just haven’t been on my own …

Nick.pro Migrated to Drupal
I have successfully migrated the nick.pro site from the WordPress blog that it has been for ages, into Drupal. This is perhaps the most unusual migration of this blog (and I’ve moved this blog several times now), in that I don’t actually consider Drupal to be a better blogging software then WordPress, in fact, I …

Google Tip: Tracking Yourself in Google Blogsearch
Earlier this month, I wrote about tracking mentions of yourself on twitter more completly then just checking the @replies tab on twitter (or in tweetdeck). Keeping tabs on what people say about you in twitter is only one step in effectively tracking references to yourself online. So here’s step 2, if you want to really …

Blogging on the iPhone
I’ve blogged from my iPhone before so this isn’t exactly new, but this post was written using the new WordPress iPhone native app just released in the app store today. I like it! As an update I still haven’t acquired a new iPhone 3G, but JMac seems to have finally joined the iPhone revolution and …
