New User Approve Plugin Updates
Posted on May 18, 2009 – 11:10 pm
Last September I release a WordPress plugin that allows an administrator to approve new users after they register for your site. I built the plugin for a private blog that I have and I wanted control over each member of the site. Since I thought others would be interested in using the plugin I decided [...]

My Thoughts on the Inauguration of President Obama
Posted on January 20, 2009 – 11:02 pm
I’ve never seen so many people so excited for a new president. In years past, when a president was inaugurated, I can’t remember people even wanting to take time to watch or listen to the inauguration speech.
