people in NYC have a tendency to “power” things. power walking, power brokers, power tools, now power blogging?

Nontheless – regardless of title – Lorelle VanFossen offers these WordPress Power Tips at WordCamp:

Here’s a shortlist of tips included in the video:
1. Use FireBug – A firefox plug-in/add-on for developers, themers, and well…power bloggers
2. Use tabs when browsing – Write your posts in one tab, preview your post in another.
3. Use Future Posts – write a post now, post it later. This will help your blog stay populated with new content. It won’t, however, help you predict the future.
4. Checkout userscripts.org

If these tips help you become a power blogger, let me know. I’d love to see your power blog!

I’m using this nifty plugin to automatically post my blog posts (from my blog) straight to mySpace. This way, I can keep my friends, family, and stalkers up-to-date on what interesting things are going on, without having to log into mySpace.

Hopefully, this plugin will work, and you’ll be able to begin tracking me better than ever before.

Awesome wordpress plugin just found :::

I’ve been looking for a way to get postings from my wordpress blog to myspace. i’ve been getting a bit frustrated because I write all these posts, but nobody really reads them – i think…

So, I thought, “why not just put this crap up on myspace?” at least some more people might read them there.

Well, this is the answer – for now

Whenever I write a post here on this wordpress blog, this plugin will post something on my myspace page.

In getting it to work, you MUST edit one of the files [pingmyspace_v1_4a.php] to include all your database information, AND your MySpace information (username + password). if you do not have your database information, you can find that in your config.php file by FTP’ing into your blog.

So, FTP into your wordpress blog. find the config.php file, and right click on the file. you should see “edit.” go ahead and do that. you’ll be able to to see all the database variables there.

i’ll be trying it out for this post, so if you see it on my myspace blog, then you’ll know it worked!
