I’m experimenting with the Posting categories overview page as a prequel to a proper tag cloud (and a series of posts on how to get there).
Please let me know in the comments which of the below ones you like most:
- Left:
HTML tree with post count per category
- Middle:
HTML tree with font size indicating post count
- Right:
HTML tree with post count per category and font size indicating post count
(For comparison, you need a big screen; the most popular choice will survive on the Posting categories page).

I’m in the midst of writing a small app that generates trees and clouds of the WordPress categories.
The main reason is that I want to better organize the categories, so I need an overview. The multi-page WordPress Categories editor isn’t of much use as it is very hard to get an overview.
Using the [Category] WordPress tag isn’t of much help as I can’t get things like this to work (I remember seeing something like this on the forums, can’t find it any more though):
[Category]
[Category number='5' method='title' order='asc' id='11,45' orderby='comment_count']
Preliminary output is at the Posting Categories page in the top menu that I will update every once in a while.
I will post the app later, as I intend to create a category cloud in addition to the tree.

Both the WordPress Visual editor and HTML editor accept keyboard shortcuts. The built in WordPress Visual editor is based on TinyMCE where some of the shortcuts come from.
Since I’m a keyboard guy, I collected some information on keyboard shortcuts over time, and below is a table with what I collected for both editors.
That, combined with distraction free writing really gives WordPress a boost.
Most of the shortcut keys use the modifier keys ALT plus SHIFT.
Note that on a Mac, you will have to use the “command” key in stead of the “CTRL” key.

You can see what these shortcuts do in the WordPress Visual Editor support page.

Please one of the WordPress.com support people, contact me through my contact form.
I tried posting this question, but as you can see it is marked as ‘Topic Closed, This topic has been closed to new replies’, and looks empty on your forums’:
Please stop deleting the XML from my
</h1>
Since WordPress deletes anything but the most basic XML from
tags:
See https://wiert.me/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/wordpress-html.doc
When I put that in a WordPress post, it deletes the XML.
It does this for anything but the most basic XML.
Please fix that!

Thanks in advance!

Don’t you love automated tools :)
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The Louvre Museum has 8.5 million visitors per year. This blog was viewed about 220,000 times in 2011. If it were an exhibit at the Louvre Museum, it would take about 9 days for that many people to see it.
Click here to see the complete report.

I just reproduced this: WordPress › Support » WordPress is inserting div tags.
- Start an unordered or ordered list
- Type entries
- After the last entry, press Enter twice
- Then type a few lines of text with Enter as separators
Those lines of text will have
DIV tags in between them
Just like this post.

Years ago, I set some filters on incoming messages from LinkedIn. Boy I was wrong: the filters were way to generic, resulting in too much mail skipping my inbox.
Here is a run-down from LinkedIn sender addresses I got mail from over the past couple of years:
- answers@linkedin.com – the Q&A part of LinkedIn
- communication@linkedin.com – some generic overview statistics reports ???
- connections@linkedin.com – connection confirmations
- connections_dev@linkedin.com – connection confirmations (seems not to be in use any more)
- emailconfirm@linkedin.com– confirmation of email address
- groups-noreply@linkedin.com – group announcements
- group-digests@linkedin.com – digest group messages
- groups@linkedin.com – individual group messages
- invitations@linkedin.com – incoming invitations
- member@linkedin.com – invitations / direct messages
- messages-noreply@linkedin.com – direct messages or CCs of messages
- requests-noreply@linkedin.com – group introductions
- updates@linkedin.com – sitewide updates, notification of email bounces
- linkedin@em.linkedin.com – ??? correlation unclear (only 10 msgs)
Have fun adjusting your mail filters!

Greg Hewgill published a bunch Stack Overflow ebooks and StackExchange stats.
His readme explains a bit more on the books.
The blog he maintains makes up for some nice reading too.
Be sure to read the blog entry on the ebooks.

As a continuation of the previous assembly, the new twitter kylix_rd messages on Delphi x64 (and some reactions by Danny Thorpe):
To save people from browsing Twitter history:
kylix_rd:
Interesting x64 fun fact: RIP relative addressing. Some instructions that use a 32bit offset, are interpreted as [RIP+offs].
7 nov
@danny_thorpe Add x64 and it happens even more.
7 nov
Because of the way the Intel instructions are encoded, it is possible to encode the same effective instruction in different ways.
7 nov
You know what would have made the x64 “REX” prefix moniker even better? They could have called it T-REX.
7 nov
As much as people like to deride the aging x86 architecture, I gotta admit that AMD did a fine job of stretching it into 64bit land.
7 nov
@davidheff Undetermined. There are plenty of reasons to deliver them separately. Either way will have no impact on the results.
2 Nov
Be ready for 64 bit: In Delphi XE, this “Component.Tag := NativeInt(Self);” will just recompile in 64 bit.
2 Nov
@davidheff Oh don’t worry… there will be plenty who will find that “limiting”, if only in concept and not in the real world :-)
2 Nov
x64 Fun Fact: JMP opcodes/offsets are identical to 32bit. Can only xfer control to an address +/- 2GB away. Thus the PE image size limit.
2 Nov
danny_thorpe:
@kylix_rd I remember digging through the x64 specs. Fun times til mgmt shut it down. Still have my Amd x64 laptop circa 2003 or so.
8 nov
@kylix_rd You just noticed? :P
8 nov
davidheff:
@kylix_rd is it still on course to be a cross-compiler as announced by Nick – single 32 bit compiler that can create 32 and 64 bit images
from Stavanger, Rogaland
2 Nov Favorite Retweet Reply
@kylix_rd Actually, I wonder whether the compiler wouldn’t give out first at such a monstrous demand
from Stavanger, Rogaland
2 Nov
@kylix_rd Think most of us should be able to avoid creating 2GB images!!!!
