20 Years Blogging

Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0100

On Saturday, November 6th, 2004, I wrote the text what would become my first blog post. It’s in Spanish, and I wrote it on my beloved iBook G3 near a boarding gate at the Ezeiza International Airport, after having spent a long month in Buenos Aires visiting family and friends.

I finally did it: I migrated my monthly magazine “De Programmatica Ipsum” from WordPress to Hugo, and this blog post explains how it happened.

The Wordpress Market is a Red Ocean

At some point in 2023 I asked online for WordPress experts for the remake of a website, and it felt like opening a fire hose.

I started my first blog in December 2004. But that was not my first website. I published that one in August 1996. At first, just a pure HTML website, with almost no JavaScript or CSS, lots of <FONT> and <FRAME> and <MARQUEE> tags all over the place.

Markdown FTW

Markdown is my new favorite tool. It all started while looking for alternatives to LaTeX to write documents and booklets, because since the release of the iPad last year, I wanted to publish in PDF and in EPUB format at the same time, and LaTeX does not offer that option off the box.

Del.icio.us to Wordpress

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 00:00:00 +0100

I’ve just uploaded a new project on Github called delicious_wp: it’s a small Ruby script that simply fetches the items stored in del.icio.us the previous week and creates a blog post with them.

I am a big WordPress fan. And I do not suffer from the NIH syndrome. So when I had to build a site for my company, the choice of WordPress was a natural one. I’ve been using it for Open Kosmaczewski (my personal blog now) for over 3 years, and I must say that it impresses every day a bit more.

Thu, 25 Jun 2009 00:00:00 +0200

Wow, that's a long title, but it should drive people with this problem right here. If you have upgraded your WordPress installation to 2.8, you might have encountered a nasty error in your Dashboard, which says something about a
