April 11th. Note: The video is no longer available: I’m still looking this stuff over (11 April). I will post links to them where possible (links, as the embedded videos makethis site’s loading speed much slower.

This is the first in a series of videos from the WordPress WordCamp Dallas 2008. I’m finding them so useful that I’ll try and embed them into this site, and add comments as I go along: As much for my own use (from the very bottom of the learning curve) as anything else: For a start I see that the setup I’ve done here so far has so many faults that Mostly by Knight will just serve as a testing place. If this works, I’ll open separate windows such as these, and edit them as I go along.

John Pozadzides brilliant blog.

The videos are about an hour each and very instructive. I may come back and add comments as I find things that have been particularly useful to me: I encourage anyone that should wander by to see the video itself. Later, from all this, I may try and sum up ‘lessons learned’.

Today, April Fool: I put together another web log. Revived one actually, that was on Blogger; The Amateur Alligator Wrestler’s Association. It is strictly experimental, is riding under the byknight/AAW (with a W) and must be changed to go under it’s own name.* As soon as I figure out a little more.The new WordPress 2.5 is impressive even for (maybe especially for) a nitwitted newt like me (I’m not modest in other matters but in this I’ve no choice at all). It’s cleaner, less complicated and easier to get it to do what one wants - less willful (as I’ve found this one to be, a battle of wills, the software winning so far). Check “Alligators” out, if only for the April Fool entry and some April Foolery.

But AAW (AAWA? Any votes?) is due to go, and reincarnate in a different installation.
* Edit, on April 07: AAW got it’s own installation in my domain, byknight, also the content has been modified (it had no recorded visitors, so i guess there is no one that would mind):
