I promised the friendly folks over at textpattern that I would write something about exporting entries from expression engine.This link in the ee wiki MOSTLY covers it. I say mostly, because you'll need to make some modifications which are not listed but that I am including. Additionally, you will need to be careful to do all of the steps in order, so I'm just going to go step by step. Also, if you have used subcategories, I haven't found a way to capture that hierarchical structure.

I'm re-doing one of my domains with textpattern or wordpress. I considered drupal, but to be honest, I want something with a little stronger 3rd party support. There are several features & functionalities missing in drupal which I need. For a site from scratch or one with content generated from within drupal, all is well. For those working with 3rd party apps already, well, it may or may not work (or even be available).Drupal templating is also notoriously tough to work with, although with the new css zen template, it is easier to give it a look which is not straight out of the box.

Well, I just finished up my first facebook app, a simple rss feed for moonshine arts magazine. You can check it out here. In theory, it should have been much easier than it was, but as with any new venture, there is always a little bit of learning curve.so, here are my pointers:

• PHP: If you are using php, doublecheck the version of php you have loaded before you start coding. I thought I had php5, but I didn't. So, that was a bit of a waste of time.

For those of you interested in arts & tech stuff, check out Elliot Boswell's Painting du Jour videos at Youtube. Here is a little interview with him w/ embedded youtube, of course. Also, I wrote a brief piece on digital identity for artists.Lots of great writing on board for December's issue, so do check it out. The fiction, poetry, and short stories are getting better with each issue.

Hello & welcome to my mostly professional journal blog. I write about all sorts of things that interest me -- mostly web stuff, cool new technologies, a sprinkling of art stuff, etc. So, who am I? Well, that depends on the day of the week, I suppose. I am indeed an artist. Although, I currently work in the very textural elements of handmade paper, oil stick, and other materials, including the occasional digital or photographic image, in reality, I am truly an assemblage artist. I use whatever formats are at hand, to achieve my vision.

So, I've been trying to figure out if I want to move to wordpress.com or use wordpress.org on my domain, or do something entirely different (I'm running drupal on my domain). Occasionally, I have considered moving over to wordpress.com as well... I like wordpress. It's not so much that I hate blogger, it's ok, but I've been wanting to do something with all of my baby* blogs for a long while. Anyhow, back when I created the baby* blogs, blogger didn't offer labels or categories (well, they still don't offer true categories). Wordpress.com wasn't available.

I'm going to add this to my e-zine list, but I think this e-zine template for wordpress looks really good.I do wonder about the pre-publishing and issue creation, though. One of the advantages of pacercms is that I can create the issues prior to publication. I do think draft posts could accomplish some of that, but...

Although the introduction of this article is overly simplified in terms of the changes in library technology (I couldn't help but laugh a little in a couple of places) , once you're past that, the rest is a good little overview of some of the more popular opensource products.

5000 resources to do just about anything onlineI love mashable and I can't possibly summarize everything in this article, but if you are looking for new things to do with your blog/website, or just to have a little fun on the 'net, do take a look. You can find things such as 30 widgets for a wordpress blog, 70+ podcasting tools, 12+ twitter tools, etc. Lots and lots of wordpress stuff. ;-)
