New Comments Policy

I think I’ve cleaned out most of the link-building spam that I was drowning in, and I’ve revised the comment policy once more. Anyone can comment. All you need to do is enter a name and an email. Comments are closed after 4 days. We’ll see how that works. My name is Rob Chipman and [...]

WordPress to Twitter

Toasting this blog occurred right in the middle of adding a function that pushes notifications of a blog post out to Twitter. Cool, right? Sure, because everyone wants to be on the Tweets these days. I mean, Ashton Kuchner or Justin Beiber (not sure which one) has the most Twitter friends or uses 3% of [...]
