First of all, I wanted to apologize to anyone who may have been on Adrian3.com yesterday (March 9, 2008). I have been playing with a new redesign and that always causes things to be broken and fixed here and there. I find it easier to just do a redesign and all the troubleshooting that goes [...]

Most of the blogs I read are written by people I don’t know. There is something fun about being anonymous. I am guessing that there are a few of you that do the same thing with this site. I don’t mind if you lurk, but it would be nice to know who reads this site [...]

The longer you have a blog the harder it gets to upgrade your blog software. With hundreds of entries and thousands of comments you have a lot to lose if something goes wrong. That is why I have been hesitant to upgrade to the new version of Movable Type (4.0). I waited until I had [...]

I while back I added a new feature to Be A Design Group that created a list of the top commenters on our blog with a comment count next to the name of the comment author. It seems like it would be a native feature of Movable Type, but it isn’t. In my search for [...]

Somebody tell me if something like this already exists… I would like to be able have comments I leave on other people’s blogs appear on my site.

Comments are my favorite part of blogging – usually. On my photography blog, Found Photography, I just reached a new milestone. I passed the 50 comment mark on one of my entries. If you had to guess, which entry do you think it was on? The logical guess would be the tutorial about the camera [...]

Remember that Seinfeld episode where George is afraid that if his two worlds (his dating world and his friend world) would collide it would be the end of him? “A George divided against itself cannot stand!” Well, blogging is kind of another world for me. Almost noone in my daily life reads my blogs. I [...]

After making another round of tweaks to adrian3.com I thought of one piece of advice for anyone thinking about starting a blog: Don’t wait until you have your templates perfect to start your blog. Building a “perfect” website takes an incredible amount of time. If you wait until you have the perfect templates and every [...]

Bits and pieces from my trip to Indiana: Toll Booths I took the toll road to the airport. I managed to scrape together $0.75 for the first toll and hoped that the other toll booths had attendants who could give me change. Luckly they did, but I always wonder what you do if you are [...]
