How to Move a WordPress Install to your Website Root from a Subdirectory
Last night, I had to move a WordPress blog from a sub-folder to the website root. It was incredibly easy, in theory.
A Rising Star, A Famous Niece and Military Propaganda
Alex was honored by Vermont Business Magazine as a Rising Star last night. A whole table of KSV’ers attended. As did both the current governor (who was quite personable and funny) and the governor-elect (who gave an impassioned stump speech as if it were two days before the election and not two days after).
Fear and Loathing in Lake Champlain Chocolates
Last week my girlfriend and I were trying to think of a place to grab lunchtime coffee in Burlington other than our usual spots (Speeder and Earl’s, Uncommon Grounds, etc.), so we headed down Pine Street to the Lake Champlain Chocolate factory. Which is a totally reasonable place to park yourself for an hour or …

The resulting large-scale photographs depict elaborate re-creations of these situations.

The Goal: One Blog Post Per Day in September
As a tune up for National Novel Writing Month (aka NaNoWriMo, coming in November), I am trying a more modest writing goal this month: one blog post per day, every day. People call this NaBloPoMo. And while NaNoWriMo is an annual November event only, NaBloPoMo is really pretty much any month you feel like trying …
Identity Theory Featured in Vermont Alt-Weekly
Margot Harrison wrote a nice article about my work at Identity Theory in this week’s Seven Days (that’s the alt weekly here in Vermont, for those of you outsiders). The conclusion? “With content ranging from John Cusack’s views of torture to a wickedly satirical short story about a marketing consultant, IT defies demographic niches, and …

Twittering Away My Blogging Time
I have been using Twitter for Identity Theory (@identitytheory) and Fluency (@FluencyBTV), which is taking up the time I’d have otherwise spent on this blog. Usability is really important to creating web content, and Twitter’s interface for creating content is about as easy as it gets. No worries about formatting whatsoever, and brevity is encouraged. …
My Kato Kaelin Ask.com Commercial Appearance
About six years ago, I made a hideously ugly mock “fan” website about Kato Kaelin called “Can I Get a Witness?” The page featured several banal quotes from O.J.’s famous houseguest as well as a “Kato vs. Plato” section.
