Hacked
Well, shame on me for being lazy about keeping up with the latest WordPress upgrades on my server. It seems as if someone has gotten into my dashboard and done a little damage. It seems like most of the posts are intact, but they’ve deleted all my pages (the about page, for example) and did […]
I Knew It Would Happen Eventually
Yes, after over a year of relentless writing and promoting this blog, the subscriber numbers peaked at 100 and has been plateaued there for months. But after only a few months of being in existence, hardly any promotion, and no real effort on my part to grow the subscriber base, my NathanRice.net blog, just […]
Subscribing to Comments
I just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve configured the subscribe to comments plugin so that you can actually subscribing to a comment thread, even if you don’t want to participate in the comments yourself.
It’s simple really … all you have to do is open the link for the story that you want to […]

Defining Success as a Designer
A couple of days ago, my friend Brian Gardner tagged to answer some questions about my latest careers… web design and blogging. I’d hardly consider myself to be a true success, but I certainly don’t mind elaborating on the small amount of success I’ve had thus far.

This really sucks because I have to check the spam list multiple […]
Location Tracking
Have you seen all the devices/applications that track your physical location and display it to your friends?

AOL is offering users of its AIM instant messaging service new capabilities to see […]
Wordpress Themes Update
I just wanted to take a minute and mention some of the things that have been coming down the pike in the last couple of weeks.
Cory and I have continued to release new themes. We’ve got a big variety too, so be sure to check them out.
RockinSuckerfish is probably going to be a big hit, […]
Free Computer Tools
Dealing with computers all day, especially web stuff, can require a number of tools some of which are pricey! I thought I’d share a couple of free alternatives to some of those everyday tools that we all need sometimes to function.
Filzip - free zip utility
I’ve been using Filzip for over a year now, and […]
Yes…Those Are Ads
Some of you may have noticed lately that I’ve added some non-obtrusive google ads to this site. I wanted to take a minute to explain.
Google ads are an easy way to make a little extra money from your website. Believe me, I’m not getting rich with this site, but given the fact that […]
