This new menu feature even though it is likely to change a lot before the actual release is really promising. This is a major limitation for WordPress as a content management system today. This is a very positive step. In this video I demonstrate how to use this feature:
Manual Upgrade to WordPress 3 (Video)
Last night I learned about the Beta of the new Word Press Version 3 Beta 1. Being a bit adventurous I tested upgrading a couple of blog sites to the new version to check it out. I was not able to find a simple path to do it without using an ftp client so I thought it would be useful to record a screencast of the procedure. Here it is:
If you know of an easier way, please share it via comments.

Quick Posting Primer (Video) for WordPress Newbies
I created this Screen Cast to help one of my customers with posting to WordPress and thought it might be useful for some of my readers or their friends.

With an Abundance of tools my Internet use evolves (podcast)
Today while exchanging some tweets with @simbeckhampson I recognized that my social media and web footprint has evolved over time and in the process different tools have been useful for different things:
- Facebook is where most of my real life friends are. I also find it more personal interaction wise.
- I get news from Twitter, share news and interesting info. More informal interaction wise.
- Blogtalkradio has opened up a nice niche for conversations with interesting people.
- Cinchcast – I love to call in and get ideas out while driving then I share it later.
- Youtube – I am big on screencasts and moving towards more personal messages (videos of me mixed in)
- Amplify – I am making new friends, sharing more what I am reading more and selectively share to FB, Twitter, etc.
These aren’t all the tools I use, for me the key is really the data that comes in via Email. I need to re-evaluate my use of Google Reader and RSS also for incoming information. Here is the podcast that was inspired by my conversations with Paul:
4 Step Custom 3D Tag Cloud Page Using WP and Cumulus
This is an instructional video on how to create a large or customized tag cloud on an individual page on a WordPress based website. The concept is relatively simple:
- WP-Cumulus is a Plugin/Widget, install the plug-in first.
- Customize WP-Cumulus on the Widget Page any size/colors.
- Viewing the source of your page you will grab the code to.
- Create a new page and use the source code from step 3.
