WordPress Upgrade

Posted by & filed under , , .

I’ve been delaying for a while to upgrade my WordPress version — for various reasons including not actually having the 10 minutes required to do so — but finally I managed today to spend a little time and upgrade it and even tidy up some bits and pieces on the blog. You won’t see any […]

LinkedIn and WordPress

Posted by & filed under , .

I’m sure many have used the WordPress LinkedIn application to post some of their blog content onto LinkedIn — and like them so did I. I’m still contemplating whether it was a mistake or not as the moment I’ve put the post about my leaving IntelliTXT team onto LinkedIn I got tons of emails — […]
