I wish I had thought to do something like Axe Cop with my little brother. Maybe my daughter will have a similarly awesome, active imagination, and I can have fun with it.
Edit Author Slug 0.2 Released
Version 0.2 of my plugin, Edit Author Slug, has been released. Go check it out if you’ve never tried it, update if you already use it. Nothing new and exciting you’ll likely notice, but it makes a few things work better behind the scenes.
New Home
I’ve had some sort of internet presence for a while now, and I’ve had this domain for a while too. I keep thinking I’ll have the time and inspiration to do something awesome with this site, but so far, no matter the inspiration, the time doesn’t permit me to do what I’d like to do with brandonallen.org. So, here we are. I gave into the realization that I needed something here, and this is the result. I’ve gone with WordPress with the Thematic theme, as I know WordPress really well, and Thematic because it’s incredibly flexible and customizable. Speaking of flexibility and customization, I’ll be doing a lot of that here. I figured having a site, and working on bits a pieces as I have the time, is better than never getting something up. I haven’t fully planned what I’ll be doing here, but it will most definitely include posts on WordPress, ExpressionEngine, design, and web development. I’ll eventually get a portfolio up, I would assume. Both design and photography. I’m sure some stuff about my daughter will make it past the editors, although I’ll be keeping those posts to a minimum — a) so I don’t bore you, and b) for privacy reasons. Don’t be surprised if quotes from Twitter, random thoughts, and just little bits of awesome make it on here. Feel free to join in and help me on my quest to bring awesome back.
