TechnoGeek John asked:

Dear Chassy Cat,
I want to make my web site iPhone friendly so it loads quicker. I’ve seen other sites that have done it, but I don’t know how to do it. Do I need to change my whole template? What do I do? Thanks!

It happens that I have just RECENTLY made my TechnoGeekery and blog sites iPhone (and iTouch) friendly! WOW. What a crazy random happenstance! My tool of choice was a wordpress plugin–WPtouch– which automatically transforms your WordPress blog into what the creators at BrandNewCode.com describe as “an iPhone application-like experience when viewed from an iPhone or iPod touch.” There are effects! And Ajax! And a cool menu feature that includes access to search, categories, tags, blogrolls, archives, feeds, photos, and more. But I need to save SOME information for the video, or why would you watch the episode?! For my sparkling wit and awesome personality? My spectacular singing? My vast knowledge? My humility? I’m only saying.

To illustrate:

(Please note: This plugin is for self-hosted Wordpress users. Sorry Wordpress.com peeps. But if you ask super nicely, I may be persuaded to share how to set up your very own self-hosted Wordpress blog, if you are willing to spend the time, and the money for server space.)

So there you are, John. The WPTouch plugin. No need to thank me. It was my pleasure.

TechnoGeek Jason asked:

Chassy Cat,
What is the best advice you can give someone new to writing a blog? If this question is too simple, feel free to ratchet up the difficulty by putting your answer into the form of a song in your vidcast.

Well, I did address this topic in my very first episode: TG #1: Blog Basics and Beginnings. But, since Jason asked so NICELY, I do have some blog DON’Ts to share…

So blame Jason, everyone. This is all his fault.

Chassy Cat makes up for lost time by answering several Burning Questions in one episode! And then there’s the “singing.” And yes, as a matter of fact I am using my sarcastic quotes.

Also, my apologies to Instant Star. YOU know why.

TechnoGeekery Quickie #4: iTunes… an Analogy

cat — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 01:51:50 +0000

This is only the first in a series of iTunes tutorials I have in the works. Let’s see, I have All About Playlists and Whatnot for Booklover and I’ve got Moving Your Music From One Computer to Another, Et Cetera for Denise… you know, lots o’ good stuff coming at’cha! For now, however, I thought I’d ease into the whole concept of iTunes with my, I think, brilliant analogy about iTunes that will hopefully clarify the nature of iTunes for any iTunes newbies out there.
