I have had a few people ask me how we came up with such an ambitious re-design. Well, the Bloggy Network could not have done it without Elena from Design Disease. You might have seen other sites in the Bloggy Network with just as slick designs, all Design Disease. We are happy to have them [...]

As you can see, we have finally moved away from what amounts to a hacked up stock theme for WordPress. We are really excited about the new design, and think it better fits the content we are producing as well as the subject we are talking about here each day.

We over at the Bloggy Network have been very fortunate to have Elena of DesignDisease working up some great designs for all of our blogs and service sites, and as you all know, Blogging Pro has been well overdue for a redesign for some time, and so I am sure you will all be excited [...]

I am heading for a vacation for the last two weeks of August, my first one in a year, and while I am gone, I would love BloggingPro to continue, and so I figured that stealing a page from someone great by asking my readers to help keep content going would be a good idea.

I don’t want to start changing everything that John has worked so hard to create here or anything, but I thought I’d get a feel for whether people would like to see a new design here. If you would, I’ll try and get a very purdy one made. On top of that, I’ll [...]

The domain name transfer should be effective anytime and so this will be my last post on Blogging Pro for awhile. Jacob Gower purchased Blogging Pro from me and he’ll take over tomorrow. There may be some bumps in the road as we get all of the files and the database transferred over so [...]

Today I finalized the sale of Blogging Pro to Jacob Gower. Jacob also owns cssvault.com and blogcatalog.com and has a personal blog here.

I was recently reading an article by Dana Blankenhorn about there being a shortage of entrepreneurs. One of the things Dana said caught my attention.
In the open source world we’re creating new technologies, techniques and choices faster than we can monetize them. That’s what entrepreneurs do — they monetize things.
That was enough to get my [...]

I have created a new WordPress 1.5 theme gallery featuring thumbnails of all of the 1.5 version themes or templates that is in the Blogging Pro’s theme category. By clicking on the thumbnail the user is taken to the permalink for the selected theme. This will make it easy for a user to [...]

Justin Blanton’s Smart Archives plugin is a simple WordPress plugin that will allow you to display your archives in a much “cleaner” format.
I installed this plugin on Blogging Pro and you can get to it from the Pages section. I wanted my archives page to be a WordPress Page so it would be listed with [...]

I upgraded to WordPress 1.5 nightly for 3/2/2005 2/21/2005 and trackbacks are now working. If you’re concerned about your trackbacks not working in the official 1.5 release you may think about upgrading to a nightly. I haven’t seen any issues with the 3/2/2005 2/21/2005 release.
