Upgraded to WordPress 2.5

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that the site is now running on the latest version of WordPress, bringing mostly new features to the backend administration area. So far, I’m actually fairly impressed with a lot of the updates, and I’m really digging the administrative face-lift! If you find any bugs throughout the site, which [...]

March Site Traffic

 

I had to spend a few minutes thinking about this situation. Last month, March 2008, has been the best month for the site, since it launched over two years ago. The funny part is, I didn’t really publish anything that should call for that. But, I think I might have a reason: two years worth [...]

Site Updates – Better Navigation

 

I spent some time this evening making some changes to the site that have been on my mind for awhile. With another project I’m doing, I was finally comfortable enough with MySql to tackle the blog. Now in the sidebar, are three more boxes with interesting data. First, there is a “What’s Hot” box that [...]

Site Search Bug Fixed

 

There has been an annoying bug in the search feature of the site for several months now, but I just hadn’t had time to sit down and think about it to correct it. However, after spending my evening writing in Javascript for a class project, I sat down and fixed the bug in about 5 [...]

Listed on Knoxify Favorite Blogs

 

I’m still unsure how this blog got listed as a Knoxville Tennessee blog, but I’m rightly listed on the Knoxville News Sentinel list of local blogs, and evidently a few other sites as well. In a post from Knoxify, a site dedicated to building a community and “better everyone’s life” in Knoxville, Mac Fanatic was [...]

Renewed Hosting

 

I recently had to make the decision to either renew my year hosting contract through Bluehost, or let the blog die completely. It was a difficult decision, as the contract is expensive and I feel like the site has certainly died down over the past several months. However, the time came to renew and I [...]

Web Clip Icons for Touch and iPhone

 

One thing that I quickly noticed when I added a couple WebClip bookmarks to my home screen after the v1.1.3 update this week, was that the icons were useless! A miniature version of the page is fairly useless considering it’s so damn tiny on the iPhone screen. However, someone was thinking at Apple and created [...]

100,000 Hits

 

I’m well aware that the blog has died down over the last several months, especially with the podcast becoming non-existent. However, I still thought it was pretty awesome when I noticed that the site has topped 100,000 hits since I put it online (or installed Mint, but we’re not off that much). I think it’s [...]

Help Wanted: Staff Writers for Mac Fanatic

 

The topic of additional writers has came to mind a few times in the past. For those who aren’t aware, and that seems to be most, everything that happens with this site is a direct result of my effort. However, I want the site to continue to grow and prove itself in the Mac community [...]

New Site Theme – Lots of Ajax

 

I know that I haven’t released a podcast in ages, but I promise I haven’t been ditching the site entirely. In the time I would have been recording these last several weeks, I have instead worked on improving the aging and cluttered site, and my efforts are now online for all to see. Changes include: [...]
