I don’t usually go out of my way to speak at events or gatherings, social, business or otherwise. But when Keith Bohanna asked if I could fill in for him at last night’s KLCK Bloggers Network gathering in Kilkenny I figured I couldn’t say no, the event being on my doorstep and all. I would…

WordCamp Ireland All Weekend
WORDCAMP IRELAND takes place this weekend, kicking off this morning in my own back garden (Kilkenny) where hopefully I’ll get to pop my head in for a few minutes over the course of the two days. Langton House Hotel is the venue for the first Irish WordCamp conference and for bloggers, techies, non-techies and WordPress…
Testing WPtouch, Make Your Blog iPhone-friendly
A tweet from Donncha pointed me in the direction of WPtouch earlier today, now running on kenmc.com. What does it do?

A New Look For September…

Painless Upgrade To WordPress 2.5 (Plus Working Plugins)
Well, the update to WordPress 2.5 went painlessly. After disabling each plugin I use, the overall upload time, upgrade time and plugin-check took about 30 minutes. Plus, I’ve remembered to set the time forward on the blog (the clocks went forward last night in case you’ve forgotton – happened me last year). For the first…
Upgrading To WordPress 2.5
I’ll be upgrading kenmc.com to WordPress 2.5 starting within the next half hour or so. If you’re visiting the site between 1:30pm and 2:30pm and spot any abnormalities then I’ll apologise in advance and ensure you that normal service will resume shortly. After spending a lot of time last night testing out a local install…
WordPress 2.5 Is Live And Wild (Plus Popularity Contest Notes)
Update April 5th: Download patched version of plugin here.. Note you’ll still need to make the database changes if you don’t have the tables already in place. – The long awaited WordPress 2.5 has been released. In fairness, some of the advances in WP2.5 are as great that it could well have been labelled WordPress…
