I knew it was a mistake not learning more about a CMS called WordPress 1.0.1 back in 2004, and doing a Kottke sooner. In my wisdom I only wordpressed disassociated in 2007.
Then the blogosphere digested itself in 2008. I’ll be back in 2009, I’ve always regarded disassociated as a website not a blog anyway (totally [...]

I’m just finishing up a few things and then we’re out of here in the next few hours, bound for the central coast, and leaving a “lite edition” disassociated in the capable hands of the WP Timestamp for the duration.
Getting ahead of time, there will be a few changes here in early 2009, but they [...]

Sydney IT manager and software developer Ben Barden is the creator of Injader, an open source content management system (CMS) for websites and blogs, and an Australian made alternative for the likes of Wordpress or Movable Type.

Tomorrow, Saturday 7 June, marks the first anniversary of disassociated’s migration to the WordPress CMS. It’s been quite a ride, which incredibly, almost saw disassociated behave like a blog (though I still prefer to call it a website) for a time.

When drafting posts, especially those you are working on over a period of days, using the timestamp feature, to set a future date and time for the post to publish, can make a handy hedge against accidental posting.
Any future date is fine, as there’s nothing worse than clicking the “publish” button when you meant to [...]

Thesis Theme for WordPress, by Chris Pearson.
If I ever opt for a three column, magazine style, layout at disassociated it will look a little like the Thesis Theme.
Lovely work :)

I and the other WP devs will be focusing on fixing bugs for 2.5.1 [...]

Wordpress 2.5 Sneak Peek
Forget Moveable Type, the latest release of WordPress, WP 2.5, will feature the design genius of the Happy Cog Studios crew.
For the past few months, we’ve been working with our friends at Happy Cog – Jeffrey Zeldman, Jason Santa Maria, and Liz Danzico – to redesign WordPress from the ground-up. The result [...]

Blog Fight! WordPress and Movable Type Square Off
Missed this somehow. A molehill that became a mountain somehow. Not the intention, just the way it turned out I guess.
It’s the bloggers equivalent of the Mac vs. Windows flamewar – WordPress vs. Movable Type. The controversy kicked off earlier this week when Six Apart’s (Movable Type’s parent [...]

According to one of my sources, an upgrade of the fine WordPress CMS was due for release on March 10.
March 10 has pretty much passed on all points of the globe by now, and so far Wordpress 2.5 remains elusive…
Oh well.
I had been working on a small tweak to disassociated (just a few changes here [...]
