Acronyms

Acronyms are great when they come in letters 3.
There’s easy one’s like ICL, IBM, BBC
My job means that I learn new ones …SEM, SEO
there surely ain’t a TLA
that I don’t think I know.

Disappeared without a trace

Just recently something went terribly wrong and I lost some recently made source code updates that, even though they’d been checked into version control had not been pushed anywhere. So there was no backup. It’s my own stupid fault; I let WordPress make an update that it shouldn’t have. [Read more…]

Because “code is poetry”

Hello. My name is Herb Miller
and I'm a WordPress geek.
For me, WordPress isn't just 
a language I can speak.

I develop my own plugins
branded oik, by bobbingwide.
Some of them are free;
some make money on the side

I also build whole websites
and can turn my hand to themes.
I even contribute to core,
as tricky as it seems.

I'm immersed in the culture
which I live and breathe each day
If you've got problems to solve
then I can find the way.

So when you hear of WordPress
please do now think of me
Herb Miller, WordPress plugin man,
...because "Code is poetry".
