Jodie got herself an ipod touch yesterday… seems to be enjoying it greatly!
I noticed, however, that reubenland.com is pretty much unusable on it …so i’ve just installed a plugin (WPTouch) which makes it look a whole lot better on your iphone/ipod touch/android/blackberry.
Just in case you want to pay a visit to reubenland.com on the road 
I’m a big fan of wordpress, and I know a number of you use it too…
so here are a few plugins which I think you might want to use.
If you are self-hosting your site (i.e. its not at wordpress.com etc) you should really get this going in case you suffer a crash or get hacked. Set it to back up weekly or similar. It can send the files to a gmail account.
Add some protection against hackers guessing your password.
If you like graphs and statistics, this is a lot more detailed than the built in stats. Also you can display them nicely in the dashboard using Analytics360
Which plugins do you recommend?
I feel really bad about how long it’s been since I last posted! so…here is an attempt to remedy that.
I installed Mac OSX snow leopard today. Pretty much the only reason I got it was for the claimed improvements for handling right-to-left languages like Hebrew. For anyone that has tried to create a document with mixed English and Hebrew on a Mac you will know how incredibly frustrating it is!!
Well, at last it seems to work like it should. Latest version of OpenOffice.org and snowleopard = Hebrew without the cursing.
See if you can really tell the differences between your search engine results…
Wow, another interesting search term that will land you on this blog!
I’m #1 on google for “moore college” nerds. Stan is second…
Oh well. good thing nerds don’t care about image
I recommended Zotero for bibliographic goodness a while back, here is the Moore College style produced by Dan Saunders for anyone who needs it. Thanks Dan!!
MTC Stylesheet (136)To install you’ll probably have to save the file to your computer then in firefox choose the menu option ‘file > open file…’. Zotero will then offer to install the style.
(It is the SBL style with Brittish variations like single quotes)
For the geeks: WolframAlpha
With its help I have discovered that i’ll be living my 10,000th day next year on the 6th of March. I’ll have 12 hours and 39 minutes of daylight to celebrate it…
Adding celebration to the list

I particuarly hate spending time formatting references in essays and inputting titles/publishers/authors etc. I’ve found that Zotero is really useful and for MTC peeps you can load it up with the SBL style.
Biggest plus for me (over endnote) is that it runs in firefox so as you browse the library catalogue or EBSCO you can click a button in the address bar to add books straight into your referenced items. Sweet! There is a plugin for word and OpenOffice too.

SBL Style is in this list: http://www.zotero.org/styles
If you include Bible references on your blog, you might want to think about installing a plugin called RefTagger.
It automatically picks up references that you type into posts, turns them into a link and displays a popup when a reader hovers their mouse over the reference.
Like this: Jn 3:16ff
Pretty handy I reckon…!
Check this video. people with faces hooked up to electrodes causing them to twitch in time to music.
Next on the list of features available on your iPod? would make my bus trips more entertaining I think!
