Putting the sRGB Back in WordPress

By Jon Roemer On 4 Apr ’11 · 2 Comments

WordPress v3 works well and has attempted to think through everything. When it comes to images though a bit more is needed. WordPress automatically creates duplicate images at different sizes whenever you upload an image for a blog post. The idea behind this is great, it saves you the trouble of manually creating multiple sizes for [...]

WordPress 3.1 Loses Video Embed Button

By Jon Roemer On 12 Mar ’11 · 2 Comments

WordPress’ 3.1 update seems to have killed the video embed button. I couldn’t find it after upgrading and quick googling shows that it’s not a bug, it’s a feature (as they say.) Very annoying in that it makes it difficult to easily embed self-hosted videos and it makes it just [...]

Black-Hat Ops

By Jon Roemer On 13 Feb ’11 · Leave a Comment

Just over a year ago I published a post called, A Conspiracy of Blog Comments. I had had my WordPress blog only a month or two but I could already detect a trend – odd comments leading to similarly designed shell web sites which pointed to under-the-radar products at Amazon.

By Jon Roemer On 7 Sep ’10 · Leave a Comment

As you may have surmised from the past two posts, I have been up in Maine on vacation. Long overdue, two weeks came and went, and we are already back.

We have been to the Deer Isle/Stonington area about a dozen times over the past twenty years. In a first, we finally found a house [...]

Blog Update

By Jon Roemer On 20 Aug ’10 · Leave a Comment

Trying out a darker, more neutral version of my old theme.  Inspiration taken from the NYT Lens Blog and a new version of Oulipo which is available for WordPress.com users (not self-hosted WordPress.org’ers like me.)

Subliminal Spam Man

By Jon Roemer On 21 Jul ’10 · Leave a Comment

The majority of blogs have few comments but, as with all things Internet, that doesn’t mean they are not receiving lots of messages. The bulk of them are coming in the form of spam.

I have spam filters for my blog and they catch most everything. Occasionally, some will slip through and get deposited in [...]
