WordPress Upgrade

I’ve just finished upgrading this blog to WordPress 2.1. This is my first post in 2.1 and if it goes well, it will mark the succesful upgrade of this blog to the new and fine WordPress version.

In the process I had the oppertunity to also verify that my MicroID Plugin for WordPress as well as my OpenID Delegation Plugin for WordPress works in version 2.1 as well as they did in WordPress 2.0.x.

Advanced .NET Debugging new home

I just wanted to point to those who read this blog and also my other blog – Advanced .NET Debugging, that I’ve purchased the domain dotnetdebug.net and moved the blog there (dotnetdebug.com was already taken…).

If you are subscribed to the Feed Burner feed of the blog you are all set, if not subscribed to it now or to the blog’s feed (which redirects automagically to the feed burner one).

OpenID Delegate Plugin for WordPress

Continuing my WordPress plugin frenzy and after release the MicroID WordPress plugin, I’m releasing another plugin, this time for OpenID delegation.

The plugin is named “OpenID Delegate” and you can read all the details and download it from here.

Q: So what’s this OpenID I’ve been hearing about?

A: According to OpenID.net:

OpenID is an open, decentralized, free framework for user-centric digital identity.

OpenID starts with the concept that anyone can identify themselves on the Internet the same way websites do-with a URI (also called a URL or web address). Since URIs are at the very core of Web architecture, they provide a solid foundation for user-centric identity.

MicroID Plugin for WordPress

MicroID as the web site says is:

MicroID is a lightweight identity layer for the web, invented by Jeremie Miller (creator of Jabber). MicroID enables anyone to claim verifiable ownership over content hosted anywhere on the web (social networking sites, discussion forums, blogs, etc.). MicroID is not an authentication or single-sign-on service, just a straightforward method for identifying content ownership that complements existing technologies such as OpenID and microformats. The technology is radically simple and enables developers to build new and unique meta services with minimal effort.

Out with the old (erans.blogspot.com) in with the new (eran.sandler.co.il)

I’ve roughly completed my transfer of “Another blog bites the dust” from Blogger to http://eran.sandler.co.il.

If you are subscribed to my feed burner feed it should redirect automagically. If you are not, it’s a good time to subscribe to it :-). Since this is my own WordPress blog there is now also a total comments feed located here.

Hopefully this new place will allow we to better experiment with stuff and essentially be the master of my own destiny/blog.

Moving on up to my side

While Blogger is a great platform, I’ve decided that this blog of mine, which suffered a bit from neglect as opposed to its technical brother, will be transfered to its own respectful domain.

It will allow we to experiment more with plugins and all kinds of funky stuff and all in all will give me greater control over what I want to do, how I want to do it and so on.

Thou Shall Create a Widget for All to See

At my day job (Yedda, if you dont already know) we just introduced a whole bunch of new features.

Some of the new features includes these cool Widgets that you see on the left side of this blog which allows you to interact with Yedda.

  • The first widget is the AskBox widget – it allows you and your readers to post questions directly from your blog or Web site into Yedda. Each posted question will contain a link back to your blog or Web site stating that this question was posted from your blog or Web site.
  • The second widget is a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) widget – You specify topics that you wish to view in your widget and when placed on your blog or Web site you’ll see a list of these questions.

If you have your own blog or Web site go to the Yedda Widgets page, create a widget and place it on your blog or Web Site.

Don’t you just hate first posts?

Hello.

My name is Eran Sandler and I’m a serial blog killer. (you should say “Hello Eran, we love you” at this point).

I create and kill blogs all the time but I do hope this blog will be different.

First of all, the blogger interface is much better than the last few places I’ve bloged before, so that will probably get me to write a little more.
