Last night I decided I’d try this whole vlogging thing (Yet another obnoxious web word. Like “blogosphere). Here’s my first video.

I’ll get around soon to getting this to embed easier, so I don’t have to record, post to YouTube and embed here, etc. There are some video plugins for wordpress, so I’m sure I’ll find something. I’m using PodPress over at ryptidemusic.com. I think that will support video so maybe I’ll try that.

In related news, I’ve been playing around with Jott lately, and I’m hoping I can get some neat stuff set up with that. I’ve already got it talking to my Remember The Milk and Twitter accounts, which should be neat when i get around to using it more.

Argh!

Apparently, the plugin I was using to give me statistics about who is reading my feed and what links they are clicking isn’t working. I’ve removed the plugin now and hopefully this new post will reset things in the feed.

iPhone Compliance

I’ve turned off the plugin I was using to style the website automatically if viewed from an iPhone. It was screwing with the caching, caching the iPhone style if that happened to be the first User-Agent that hit the page. Not good.

So, I’ve turned it off and I’ll do some testing and tweaking to get the experience in line with happy iPhone browsing. iPhone really keeps styles very nice anyway, so it should be no problem.

Recent Bookmarks (correcting bad feed issues)

I installed a new plugin to help with the formatting of the Daily Links posting I have set up from my del.icio.us feed. It immediately screwed up my twitter notifications, as somehow it changes the title after the permalink is created. Thereby giving my twitter followers http://www.ryptide.com/2007/08/23/links-for-2007-08-24/ instead of http://www.ryptide.com/2007/08/23/bookmarks-for-08-24-2007/ which is correct (well, was correct before I removed it and replaced it with this one. That means the reader hits an incorrect link and gets a 404 page. Smooth.

Anyway, for anyone interested, I’ve taken all the links that have now been posted a few times, and am making one post from them instead.

I will probably get rid of this daily posting, and dump it into a sidebar widget of most recent bookmarks instead of a daily blog posting. Mostly because my blog pretty quickly becomes a place to read my feeds rather than what little commentary I actually have, and there is my tumblelog for that if that’s what both my readers are after.

A note for both of my readers

If either of you have an iPhone, you’ll be happy to know that RypTide.com is now especially compatible with the device, thanks to ContentRobot’s iWPhone WordPress Plugin and Theme.
