Fever GET! (no wait, it’s gone methinks)

I’ve been meaning to ramp up the publishing schedule here at TDH.me, especially concerning my upcoming book, but a few days of fever put a halt to that. So I’ll just say this: Smashing WordPress Themes is 14 chapters of theme goodness.

Unless I add some, to my editor’s dismay. You’ll never know.

I was going to publish the chapter outline here, but earlier today I actually swapped places on two of them, so it might be a bit premature. With me, this is a process up until my editor says stop, which she will when I’ve delivered the last one and hit the super-duper-mega-epic deadline for getting this book on the shelves this side of New Year’s. Which I’d like.

So there, it’s an actual update from yours truly on something, here on my blog-thingy. It’s been a while. I intend to keep those while a little less apart in the future.

My my my, I’m on a new server. Excuse the mess, expect the madness.

TDH.me has finally returned from the dead. A crazy hosting issue took the site offline, via an infinite DNS lookup loop. Back now, sorry for the inconvenience.

TDH.me is now running WP Super Cache to improve stability and performance. Please holler if there’s something weird going on. Thanks.

Hosted blog comments and why I went with Disqus

I decided to not roll my own comments here on tdh.me, using an outside service rather than the built-in WordPress functionality. This is generally not something I advice since the more outside services you’re relying on, the slower your site will be, not to mention vulnerable to a third party’s uptime and security measures.

That being said, I’m rolling Disqus on this site, the first public one for me actually.

I went with a hosted comment solution for 5 main reasons. Continued →

Why hello there

I must say I’m happy to see you here. It’s been a long time after all, with me blogging and whatnot.

Yes, this is my blog. This is where I’ll speak my mind, discuss matters of great importance with you, dear reader, and where I’ll roam free. In a yet to be published interview with the excellent BloggingPro (will link it when it’s up, of course), I try to explain why I haven’t blogged the last few years. Or rather, why I haven’t blogged in English, my Swedish blog is well read but has next to naught to do with the international blogosphere and matters concerning new media on a more global scale.

But before I reboot myself as yet another voice in the crowded online media landscape, I’ll get this baby a bit more ready. I thought long and hard as to how I wanted the blog to look and behave, and mused over wether to have my blog and (upcoming) design portfolio at the same place. Obviously I decided not to, I’ll get to that later on. For now, I’ll put a tiny bit of effort to get tdh.me looking decent, and then it’ll be an ongoing work in progress I guess. After all, it is not just a springboard for my mind, but also a necessary playground amidst the more serious design gigs I sometimes venture upon.

Meanwhile, I urge you to subscribe to my RSS feed and to keep an eye on the horizon. I won’t be there, but it is a pretty thing after all.

Happy holidays.
