Blogging is more fun when it is quick, painless and still creates satisfying results. I use quite a few browser and WordPress tools and tricks to make life simpler. Some of these are built into WordPress (and might be lesser known) while others I have developed out of necessity or as a learning challenge. I often wonder if there are new ways to use old tools or new methods to make an old task simpler or more bearable. I have a feeling that most WordPress bloggers have a few of these up their sleeve. But since these have become habits, they rarely get shared with others. I know that I would not sing the praises of “Press It” after using it constantly for four years, but maybe I should. So if you are using WordPress, look for the little “Press It” Bookmarklet at the bottom of the “Write Post” page. […]

Mouseover Transparent Dock: Create a transparent (semi) dock-like menu on your page/blog with Javascript. I can see this becoming common on newer themes. Pretty cool if you are into this kind of thing. The only issue I see with this is that you have to let the user know that this exists, otherwise it would never occur to me know mouse over the header to get a new menu. Thanks Javascript Weblog

Feed Collectors: From their about page … Feed Collectors is a new web tool that collects and socializes your feeds. So, it is a private Technorati of sorts? Thus the name Pulverati(look at the end of this post)? This is still in private beta but it sure would be an interesting way to skim hundreds of feeds to find clouds of information needed. Thanks to a link from Pulverati

Earthlink Feed Reader: I guess the cat got out of the bag before it really should have left the litter box, so to speak. Earthlink has been secretly developing an online and free feedreader and social bookmarking site. Arrington details how they were found and some of the salient features, benefits, weaknesses and styling. I personally like the clean interface of the bookmarking site but most of these del.icio.us wannabes tend to have clean interfaces anyways. There is also an Earthlink blog that talks about the recent discovery.

Microsoft on Blog Spam It looks like they did a lot of searching of Blogger and Google’s related sites to try and dig up dirt. Akismet gets a mention. Sadly, all big talk and no solution or hint at a solution from Microsoft.

Scrapblog – online scrapbooks

Scrapblog – online scrapbooks: I was slightly apprehensive when I first came upon this link with the thinking that this is going to be another place to store photos and build slideshows. Another group of LLCers trying to break into the Flickr, YouTube hype. I think I changed my mind after looking through the scrapblogs that are already created. This could be interesting and fun for the casual blogger. I think of these as photo albums on steroids. You can even embed your scrapblogs into existing blogs. Looks like you drag and drop peices into your “slideshow” from existing objects.

WordPress Theme Competition

responses

WordPress Theme Competition Only new themes can be submitted, only themes not based on a previously released themes (K2 mods etc) will be accepted, and semantic code and cross browser capable themes will be weighed a lot to. I feel much better about this competition than the pervious one and I like Thomas’ work. I will definitely be keeping an eye out and I really like the “New Themes only” idea. Thomas, please let me know where I should send my share of the prize money. Also, I would suggest choosing a unique and small(ish) name for the competition to keep things fresh.
