New site for Photography
So I have been working on this site for a friend of mine that does photography. The site is LOTVPhotography.com She does a variety of work, from senior pictures to wedding pictures to baby pictures. You can check out the site, let me know what you think, please offer suggestions, as we are still putting some final touches on the site, but always looking for ways to make it better. Are there things that you would like a photography site to show, that this one doesn’t. What would cause you to check out this site give her a call for your photographic needs.
Delete Users with No Roles
I am working on a plugin for Wordpress that will allow me to delete the users that get created by spammers and such. You can tell they are spam accounts because they have no roles associated with them. If they were created the proper way they would have a role associated with their account. So I will play with the creation of a plugin to delete those users.
GoDaddy
So I mentioned that I would start sharing some of the tools I use. So I have to mention GoDaddy. I use GoDaddy for all my domain registrations. I’d recommend them to anyone. Check them out and see what all the talk is about. I’ve purchased my domains through them, SSL Certificated through them. Just about anything I need I’ve order through through them…
Here’s a link that will give you .com domains for only $7.49.
Wordpress 2.9.1
So I have just updated this site to version 2.9.1, and it is working quite well. I have just noticed the coolest thing.. I think it was implemented in Wordpress 2.9, but either way, if you put a url in your post is like a link for a video from Flickr or something. Just putting this url in your post, with nothing else special, will embed the video straight in the post.

Even though the URL is for the page that the image or in this case video is on, Wordpress is smart enough to embed the video for us right into wordpress. We could put the embed code around the URL and it will do the same thing, but with the embed tag in wordpress we can make the video/picture a particular size. so like this is an embed width=200
