WordPress 3.5 may look cool, but it has found a dozen new and clever ways in which to break itself. Last week, I figured out how to fix the “Add Media” button. This week, I discovered that I could no longer select any drop-downs in the admin screens, add tags, or click most buttons. I [...]

Puppet Quick Tip: Enabling an Apache module
Recently, I was asked to enable mod_rewrite for Apache on our webservers, which are controlled by the sexy puppet master server. I did a quick google to see if anyone had any recipes published.

Serendipity to WordPress – Rewriting URLs
So the second most important thing to for a S9Y to WordPress migration, after you import the posts, is to make sure as many of the old links work as possible. It doesn’t actually require all that much work to get 90% of the old links working. With Apache & mod_rewrite you can be up [...]
