Scriblio for civilians - Sunday, March 16th, 2008

Gosh, I wish I were better at coming up with post titles…
I had an email yesterday inquiring about some details of Scriblio. As I wrote back, answering her questions, it occurred to me that it was exactly the kind of thing it’s easy for me, so close to the project to take for granted [...]

Ten dollars short - Tuesday, October 30th, 2007

Update: Sample records are now a .zip file and are working.
Note: Cross-posted at Scriblio.
Yes, I know, I promised it ten days and a whole release ago, but you can stop holding your breath. I present the new* Scriblio for Wordpress 2.3.1 installation instructions:
1. Be sure your Apache installation has mod_rewrite enabled.
2. Download and install [...]

New Scriblio release - Saturday, October 20th, 2007

This week I’ve been testing out the latest, 2.3-friendly, Scriblio. I have to say that it’s quite slick.

Good eggs - Friday, September 21st, 2007

Midnight on Wednesday-Thursday found me hunched over my computer finishing updating the Tamworth Library site to the latest Scriblio release. I did run into one hiccup with the search function. It startled me, since searching ease is the site’s bread and butter. Thanks to some quick tech-support, it did get resolved quickly. [...]

Web2.SO?: Why it matters to libraries - Friday, June 22nd, 2007

This topic has been percolating for a long time, so I was psyched when Michelle contacted me with an invitation to participate in the BIGWIG Social Software Showcase. (Blogs, Wikis, Social Software Interest Group = BEST library acronym to date.) The idea, as I understand it, is to get some folks to produce some [...]
