Today marks a turn in my professional life focusing on the iPhone. I have launched raven.me. The site provides interesting iPhone content to the general public and promotes my iPhone advisory business and other iPhone-related pursuits.
For those of you who know me as the founder of iPhoneDevCamp, this will probably not come as much of [...]
Ok – I finished up most of the migration last night from Chyrp back to WordPress. Before I can switch to a new theme, I need to remove all of the hard-coded header and footer modifications (e.g. Favicon, Meta Tags, Google Analytics, etc.) and move the data into Plugins and Widget text boxes so that [...]
