			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alright, so I&#8217;ve let it sit a couple of days and think I&#8217;m pretty happy with the new setup I&#8217;ve got going here.  As I mentioned before I was looking for a bunch of plug-ins to make my life easier in that I don&#8217;t have to update several websites at the same time (this one, facebook, etc).  I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of things like that available.</p>
<p>As I promised before, I will list the plug-ins that I ended up with including a brief description of each.</p>
<p>1 - <a href="http://ideasilo.wordpress.com/2007/04/30/contact-form-7/">Contact Form 7</a> &#8211; Very simple contact form generator.  This one I probabaly could have done on my own, but I&#8217;m lazy.</p>
<p>2 - <a href="http://www.thulasidas.com/adsense">Easy AdSense</a> &#8211; Added Google AdSense.  I don&#8217;t anyone comes to this site let alone clicks on the ads, but oh well.</p>
<p>3 - <a href="http://www.aaronharp.com/dev/wp-fotobook/">Fotobook</a> &#8211; This is a pretty slick plug-in that grabs all of my facebook pictures and stores them on the site.  It also has cron capability to periodically check for new pictures.  See 7 to see how this is implemented.  Check it out via the Photos tab above.</p>
<p>4 - <a href="http://www.ibegin.com/labs/wp-lifestream/">Lifestream</a> &#8211; This was the last one I added.  It grabs RSS feeds from a whole host of services including Facebook status, and things I watch on Hulu.  Check it out from the Lifestream tab at the top of the page.</p>
<p>5 - <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/mapmyride-workout-plugin/">MapMyRide Widget</a> &#8211; This pulls off of my MapMyRun.com RSS feed to display the most recent workout I&#8217;ve logged.  I had to do significant customization to this one.  I wasn&#8217;t a big fan of how much information it posted, so I changed it.</p>
<p>6 - <a href="http://sharethis.com/">ShareThis</a> &#8211; This adds the &#8220;Share This&#8221; link at the bottom of each post/page.  I don&#8217;t expect this feature to ever be used, but it makes the website look more legitimate since you see that sort of thing all over the intarweb these days.</p>
<p>7 - <a href="http://activeblogging.com/info/wordpress-cron-plugin/">Utopia Cron</a> &#8211; I think this guy is a very slick piece of work.  Its a pseudo cron job manager.  Basically whenever someone loads the website, it checks the time to see if any cron jobs need to be run.  This is what I use to periodically update the Fotobook stream.</p>
<p>8 - <a href="http://www.tsaiberspace.net/blog/2007/07/29/wordbook/">Wordbook</a> &#8211; This one interfaces with Facebook to tell people there when something new is posted here.  Its really the only evidence on Facebook that this site even exists.</p>
<p>9 - <a href="http://imthi.com/wp-pda">WordPress PDA &amp; iPhone Plugin</a> &#8211; This little guy formats the site differently when it is accessed via a mobile device.  Again, not something anyone other than myself will likely ever use.</p>
<p>Finally, I added a Zune tab above that just includes my Zune card or whatever its called so you can see what music I&#8217;ve been listening to.</p>
<p>This is a long post. I will end it abruptly.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, in an effort to force myself to use the website a bit more, I went through and did a little work on it today.  Basically my problem is that I don&#8217;t want to update 40 different things with the same information&#8230;  By 40, I basically mean 2&#8230; I really don&#8217;t feel like updating my Facebook and website stuff when I really want things to be identical.</p>
<p>I went fishing around through WordPress&#8217;s extensive plugin library looking for things that will simultaneously update my facebook and website at the same time.  I was pleasantly surprised to find quite a few options.  I&#8217;m still in the process of playing with them to figure out which ones I like and which ones I don&#8217;t.  Maybe when I&#8217;m finished I&#8217;ll post which plugins I ended up with.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Its been a year since I&#8217;ve started paying for web hosting space.  It actually took that long for the spam bots to find my website and start posting things about Viagra and other prescription medications.  As I was deleting them all, I noticed that I needed to update the wordpress software.  So I did.  In the process I also deleted the old database, as I had only posted twice in a year.  Mostly I did it to perhaps force myself to start writing again.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We&#8217;ll see.</p>
