New WordPress Plugin – Xpandable Author Tab

October 27th, 2010

I ended up getting some free time last night before bed and decided that I would finish the Xpandable Author Tab WordPress plugin that I started a month ago.  This handy, dandy little utility is great for blog authors that have an extended author description stored for them in WordPress.  It saves quite a bit of screen realty on your blog post by encapsulating your author information into an author box that can be expanded upon clicking a button.  By default, the information is collapsed upon a reader coming to your post.  I still have to add this to the WordPress plugin repository over the next few days, but it is forthcoming.  More information and the sneak peak download is on this site at http://www.vaughnbullard.com/apps-plugins/xpandable-author-tab/ .  Any suggestions, comments or tips is certainly appreciated.

Back from the holidays!!!

January 4th, 2008

Ok, so I had a bit of time doing a whole lot of nothing during the holidays! Aren’t we supposed to chill out and relax over the holidays? It was great! I did no cooking whatsoever. Nice!

So, a new year is here…expect to see a lot of articles from Vaughn’s Thoughts on Tech! The biggest subject matter you will read about on Vaughn’s Thoughts will pertain to governance in a SOA environment. I will post my predictions for how the industry is moving soon.

Latest Report on MacBook Pro

March 29th, 2006

Well, let’s see here. I’ve had the MacBook Pro for a month and a half now. It’s doing better than well. Although it does get hot after using it a long time, it still seems to operate quite efficiently. Some applications work well, some don’t. I guess its due to the Universal vs. Non-Universal binary differences.

Anyway, if you are thinking about buying one; I highly recommend it. They are a bit pricey, but I’m sure my total cost of ownership will be cheaper long-term. I’m also switching over slowly from a hybrid work architecture (using PCs and Macs) to using just Mac. I don’t think that will ever be 100%; but I can aspire towards that goal.
