Well, after twittering off my question on whether I should separate my blog into business/personal or mix them, I have come up with a wonderful compromise.

I’m going to create a WordPress blog (big surprise, eh?) that will house my personal posts. I’ll try to cross promote and cross-link them to be able to get some sort of traffic going, but I want people to know that I have other things going on besides just design, and I have lots of things to talk about - I just don’t want them mixed thoroughly with either.

So, I’ll have a new blog up and running soon.  Don’t know when, but I’m sure it’ll be soon.

So, after doing some research on my part, I realized that I was doing my commenters a huge disservice by allowing WordPress to put the dreaded rel=”nofollow” into every hyperlink.  Well, no longer!

I installed the DOFOLLOW WordPress plugin.  I checked my grade on the Website Grader and I have a PageRank of 4.  That means that anyone with a PageRank less than me benefits when they post a comment on this page (that is relevant).

So, I’m opening up my doors to you.  Along with the DOFOLLOW policy, I’m also instituting a “You Comment - I Comment” Policy for anyone who leaves a relevant comment with a legitimate website. I am all about sharing some linklove, and it’s high time we got something out of it!

I’ve been playing around with some really cool features in WordPress lately.  With my site, and a few others i’ve been working on, I’ve been toying with the “Page Template” feature that allows me to customize which elements show up on a page (like, a sidebar, specific headers, a footer, etc).  But, while working specifically on The Film Talk for Jett Loe, I developed/discovered a technique for keeping visitors in your page but giving them the luxury of a Google Search.

First of all, I updated WordPress to its new version as soon as I was able.  I’ve been very excited to see some of the new features they’ve added, and I have my list of the top ones to look foward to.  There aren’t any major interface changes this time, but (just like any great application) the best changes come on the inside.

Now that everyone and their mother has gone out and bought a shiny new iPhone (yesterday was the 3G iPhone’s release date, after all), it’s time you made your WordPress theme a bit more iPhone friendly.

Enter the iWphone WordPress theme from Content Robot. It places a special theme in your themes folder that is accessed whenever you look at your site on an iPhone.

Sure, not an earth-shattering revelation, but if it’s another way people can get to your site easily, then why not use it?
