  • Adam McLane, tech dork

    As if it were not official already. Last week I totally proved my tech dorkiness repeatedly. From randomly fixing computers to picking up the new MacBook to whimsically talking about PHP code and fixing a blog. Of course, this was on top of my normal compulsions to Twitpic all over the place, post to Twitter while driving, and some other things.

    We even joked about my starting a weekly “Tech Tip from Adam” for folks looking to get a little more dorky.

    But my dorkiness was confirmed forever on Friday. Going through the security screening at San Diego I popped open my bag and pulled out 2 MacBooks and my Smartphone. The Homeland Security guy just kind of stared at me.

    It’s true, I love technology. I love gadgets. I love being connected and learning new ways to connect. I guess that means I love being a dork. Wait until July 11th when I pick up the new iPhone.

  • New Template @ adammclane.com

    new2If you are an RSS subscriber to the blog you’ll want to come check out the site. Tonight I put in a new theme. It’s a look that I’ve been thinking about for a few weeks now. The truth of the matter is that I really wanted to make some changes to some of my production sites, but Patti wouldn’t let me. 🙂 So I took it out on my blog!

    Also new to the blog is the monster. My byline is “Crazy enough to want to change the world” and my monster is crazy. If you have a suggested name for the monster please leave a comment! Otherwise, I’d really like to hear reader feedback. As always, you can leave a comment or email mclanea@gmail.com.

  • A brand new RomeoKids.com

    It took several month to say this, but RomeoKids.com has a brand new look. This was the first project that the church has ever sent out to a web designer and I think it turned out awesome. Matt Adams, that guy is great to work with. If you ever need a WordPress theme totally custom designed from head to toe… he’s your man.

    I think the new look is very bright, cheery, inviting, and screams “Kids!” as soon as you load it. What do you think?

  • 25 Video Tutorials for WordPress Users

    word pressI’ve helped dozens of people switch to WordPress. (The blogging platform I use for this site.) It has the easiest learning curve of any blogging software on the market, but it can still be daunting for people new to online publishing. (For the record, I prefer the self-hosted version. The WordPress.com version is just so-so.)

    In the course of helping people I end up doing a lot of basic training… which I don’t mind but I am left repeating myself a lot. The other day I came across a series of great video tutorials that give just enough information to be useful. They are produced by ListPipe, which seems to be some sort of content source for bloggers.
