This is an alarming trend in many blogs that I want to subscribe to. The most interesting factoid in this complaint of mine is that many of these blogs belong to big shots in the application development, promotion and design arena. In many cases they provide ample reasons for their blogs’ appearance (much of which I disagree with personally) but since they are the masters of their domain, my opinion really does not matter. In some cases, a lot of their readers agree with their design tactics and believe that they are appropriate and even well justified.

If you have not heard about Klipfolio yet, you need to head over to their site and check it out. I consider it to be an information aggregator on steroids. Though somewhat overdone, flexibility is not lacking in that application. I have written a very small (and simple) script that allows the addition of a “Klip” of your WordPress blog for consumption by the Klipfolio application. Installation is very, very simple and if you already have the Klipfolio application on your computer, just download the Klip for this blog and add it to your Klipfolio. Click here for the WeblogToolsCollection.com Klip. You can download the script here. Instructions to install the script is at the bottom of the script. Please leave comments and suggestions.

[Continue Reading...]LIving without a <cfcontinue> tag? Look no further!: I found this while looking for a solution to “continue” within a <cfloop> tag. Basically, just invoke a <cfthrow> (which you ignore) whenever you want to continue to the next iteration of the cfloop tag. Weird, but it works right.

[Continue Reading...]After trying out all the entries in the competition, I have decided to use the graphics submitted by Albert Tanutama for weblogtoolscollection.com. The header that you see on top will stay there, albeit with a few modifications. I will be adding the other graphics, favicons etc as soon as I get a chance. Thanks to everyone for participating. Work has been tremendously busy and draining lately which has taken away from my personal work. As a forewarning, this blog might be experiencing some hiccups in the next week or so as I make some internal changes. Thank you for your patience and continued partonage.
