Updates in Jaki-ville

Last week, there was a picture of Me and Misnomer Dance Theater in the NYTimes.

The article was a feature on how many people are now running businesses out of their homes. It was quite nice to do the photo shoot. We also shot a YouTube video, which you can see on the Misnomer YouTube Page.

The author, Marci Alboher, also posted the video on her own NYTimes blog, Shifting Careers, a great read for any freelancers or people working from home.

Aside from the barrage of freelance work, web consulting, web development, and other web hackery, I’ve been consulting a few people on wordpress stuff…

If anyone out there is in need of a site, quickly, just use WordPress. It’s a great content management system. Over time and with practice, you can really put together a nice looking site with regularly updated content.

This October, I will also be leading a workshop with Chris Elam at The Field:
Strategies For Internet Outreach

The workshop is at capacity – however, we will make all the materials and tutorials available online. Keep an eye out for that here and on the Misnomer Blog – I’ll be uploading a wordpress plugin package, so you can download all your plugins from one place.

This will make it easier for companies, developers, and other web-folk to find and install useful plugins on wordpress.

The package will include:
cForms – allows you to insert forms into your WordPress site!
videoCommenting – comment on videos and leave time markers! developed by John Schimmel and Shawn VanEvery, ITP all-stars!
audioPlayer – stream audio on your blog, in a flashy way!
slimStat – a stats counter for your blog
sociable – social bookmark posts from your blog
podPress – easy management of podcasts + wordpress

If I’m missing any key plugins, do let me know!
