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.

Welcome
Welcome to my new blog. After years of maintaining a ‘Yay Me’ blog, I have gone utterly simplistic. Gone are the commendations and awards, now just my writings and contributions on my website. I’m trying simply to engage my readers and followers in informative, helpful and inspiring ways. If you are interested in seeing more of the projects that I am working on, please feel free to go on over to my projects page. Eat well, live well and love well. Boy, that sounded kind of prophetic or pathetic?
Best of luck,
Vaughn

Well,
Apparently, the iPhone has a problem with large resolution pictures for contacts. So what I did to test this problem, as described in the previous two blog postings, was to try a large resolution picture for a contact, then I replaced it with a lower resolution picture that I took with the iPhone itself and assigned it to that contact. I tried this 5 times with 5 different large resolution pictures and 5 different lower resolution pictures. The end result was that the iPhone doesn’t handle a large resolution picture well. What is that maximum or minimum? I don’t know yet, as most of the pictures in my iPhoto collection are of the same resolution. It does has me wondering though. The trick seems to be that for a contact, the best practice would be to use a low resolution picture to start with, or to take a picture of your contact with your iPhone and attach it to the contact.

So I’m adding more languages to my blog…I have quite a few readers in Germany and France 
asking me why I don’t have these languages. A lot of these readers are my colleagues in these countries-so I get little hints dropped all the time. So I more than likely will start with German, and then French shortly thereafter.
