    WordPress 2.5 Gallery Feature 

    I literally spent all of yesterday gushing over photos from various WordCamps Matt had been to these past few months so that my usual 8 a.m. bedtime somehow pushed itself all the way to 1 p.m. Yes, I’m nocturnal and I don’t have a life.

    The guy is living the life I want. Damn him. I’m green with envy. :(

    Anyways, I figured I’d give the gallery feature a shot. Looking at his photos made me want to own a Nikon D3, but seriously, who would spend $4,999 on a camera?

    The following photos are taken from when Carlos, Kim, Maui, and I went to see Cloverfield when it opened in theaters last January.

    How WordPress Got My Writing Groove Back 

    It’s a little late for spring cleaning but I decided it’s no use waiting for next year just to sort things out. It’s official: I’m moving to my very own domain and leaving my LiveJournal account for good. Yes, jbbuena.com is going to be my new home.

    For some strange reason, I woke up last Tuesday morning feeling a very strong urge to write although I didn’t find the time to because there was too much sun outside. Nevertheless, I spent the entire day reading news items and blogs, hopping from one link to another until I found myself overcome with the great possibilities the blogosphere has to offer those that actively pursue it.

    Later on, I realized most of these sites are published with WordPress so I went on to download it expecting I would soon be installing a desktop client from which I can write and publish voila-style. Apparently, I was next to illiterate at pro blogging. The download gave me a couple of files that needed uploading to a web host–and I wouldn’t have known about that either unless I Google-ed “WordPress installation.”

    Soon enough, I was reading everything about buying web domains, web hosting, name servers, a little bit of CSS, X/HTML, PHP, and mySQL, leaving the computer afterwards feeling I only understood about 10% of it. Experience, as they say, is the best teacher, so I braved the intimidating world (wide web) and went to sleep that night with a free domain and web host, and a functional but empty WordPress account.
