It’s all go around here — I can barely keep up! Today the first of my series of articles for Informit has been published: Web Design Reference Guide > Customizing WordPress: Make a Start:

This series explores everything you need to do to customize your WordPress blog. Along the way, we’ll look at plugins, widgets, pages, and posts; how to integrate your blog with other applications such as photo albums; and how to customize themes. But first, you need to make sure you have the necessary tools to get started.

[Update 21 August 2007: new URL for the article added.]

Expect subsequent articles monthly.

Last weekend the final issue of Macguide was published, with my two articles: Mac Safety Demystified and PowerUp to Passwords. Eventually they will appear online at my Learning Centre, but here are a couple of tasters:

Let’s get this straight, right at the start: Macs are safer than Windows computers, but nothing in this world is 100% safe or guaranteed.

These days we need passwords for everything; increasing threats from people trying to scam us mean more passwords and more complexity. Here are some tips for easing the pain.

The publication of issue #34 has also triggered the release of the articles from issue #33: PowerUp Preview and iChat Demystified.

That’s not all that’s going on, but I need to write a separate post for the FullCodePress information.
