Smashing WordPress: Beyond the Blog

Still laying low here, but I did publish some posts over at the Blog Herald this week. More than these, as usual, but some are more linkworthy than others. Not that the others aren’t worth checking out of course…

More from me on Twitter.

You might have noticed, or rather not noticed, that I’m awfully quiet right now. That doesn’t mean that I’m out of words or ideas for blog posts, it is more a matter of Work Overload after the holidays. The inbox is full, clients are screaming for updates, and so on. As you might know, I’m not the kind of freelancer that works over holidays or even weekends these days, so that is probably pissing some people off even more than they want to acknowledge.

And then there’s that whole recession thing. It is starting to hit me, actually, with no less than four cancelled projects in two months’ time. Not good, but I’ll manage of course. Read more →

Another year ends, and a new one begins. I hope 2009 will rock as much as 2008 did. Yes, it did. After all, how can the year that saw Guns n’ Roses finally release Chinese Democracy not rock? Happy New Year, everyone! Just a few hours left…

I’m not in the habit of working neither weekends nor holidays, and I’ve got no plans to change my mind this year. So this post is written on December 22, just like the ones linked below. I will see you all in 2009!

I hope your 2008 rocked! If not, make it so, because it will end in a couple of days time…

At least it is in Sweden, where we celebrate on December 24th. I wish you a Merry Christmas nonetheless!

Sad news, WordPress theme lovers. Details here.

I can’t believe how fast December went by! Crazy. It is certainly taking its toll, so I’m looking forward to taking a (short) break.

Probably missed something here, it has been a truly packed week.

That’s right, first they pull out of MacWorld (the upcoming is their last), and now they cancel Christmas!

As a response to the TechCrunch decision to not respect embargoes, ReadWriteWeb says they’ll keep abiding them. Why? Their reasoning stands, although I still think it is a silly race to be the first, just with a little more time.

Yes! Finally! This is what is needed: Someone big needs to lead the way of compulsive embargo breaking. I can’t imagine the amount of email Michael Arrington gets, but I know that the ones that hit me for the Blog Herald from PR firms are 90% ignored, with lots of dupes.
