Metaverse ID 0.14.2 released!

What this means is that in addition to sidebar widgets, you can now embed the profiles inside blog posts like so: [mv-id mv=’agni SL’ id=’83b3987f-9520-4275-8efe-3ac13dd3f635′].

Metaverse ID: first Second Life WordPress plugin in the official directory

Metaverse ID plugin released to public

Currently at version 0.5 (yay incremental improvements!), I’ve decided to push the code to the public SVN server over at google code. I’ve also created a wiki page describing Metaverse ID, that’ll I’ll be keeping up to date with the supported Metaverses etc.

Setting up WP:MU subdomain'd blogs on Dreamhost without wildcard DNS entries

install WP:MU in /home/user/example.com/blog/
use the interface to add a new blog under foo.example.com
log into panel.dreamhost.com
add foo.example.com as a mirror of example.com

I’ve moved…. well, sort of.

If you bookmark this blog….
If you bookmark or subscribe to this blog, you’ll want to update thing to point to blog.signpostmarv.name, although WordPress.com has everything redirected nicely, so nothing should break, it’ll just speed things up a tad.

Boo!

So I decided I should stick to my own advice
I’ve been advising Volunteers to create blogs using their full SL as the URL. It made sense for me to do this even though I already have a wordpress blog, so that I can use this for off duty Second Life stuff, and keep my other [...]
