Are there any offline tools available for Wordpress theme development other than Dreamweaver extentions? I'm looking for something that renders a page in a Gecko (or related widget) window in response to my editing of the theme code so I don't need keep editing files on a web server. Any ideas? EDIT: Should have been more clear. I ha...
I was just reading how can you tell whether you're ready to start your own blog. The answers are so good and inspiring that I made rush to start my own blog using blogger and stopped right in my tracks. I looked on the menu bar as I was creating my first post, and duh, there's no nice "code sample" formatting option like the one on Sta...
Do you have a prominent example of a startup person you follow? Like the Twitter, blog, video podcast of Kevin Rose from Digg. Or the writings of Joel Spolsky? Is it common for the startup people to share their thoughts on blogs? Or do you feel like there's not enough information about your favorite startup? (Personally, I love the stac...

I originally thought building my own was the way to go, but I've recently changed my mind for two reasons - first, I don't want to reinvent the wheel and second, I don't have enough web development experience at this time to do a good job with it. I've read another similar question, but I want more than a barebones CMS. Really, the only...
Let's say that you want to create a dead simple BlogEditor and, one of your ideas, is to do what Live Writer does and ask only the URL of the persons Blog. How can you detect what type of blog is it? Basic detection can be done with the URL itself, such ashttp://myblog.blogger.com etc. But what if it's self hosted? I'm mostly intereste...
I'm considering writing my own blog but I have had some issues deciding for an appropriate software. From my survey so far I have concluded that the easiest, most feature-rich, free software is Wordpress. However, I would very much like to use several components written in either Python or Ruby, e.g. either Pygments or CodeRay as a sourc...

I am evaluating CCS grid frameworks for web sites, blogs, and CMS-based sites, and have looked at Blueprint and Yahoo's YUI. They both look good, but it is not so easy to change the column sizes or spacing. And they both add a lot of weight to the first page's download. Are these the best, or are there other frameworks that are more fle...
There are lots of great resources available on the Internet for learning more about programming and improving your skills. Blogs are one of the best, IMO. There's a wealth of knowledge and experience, much of it covering topics not often found in traditional books, and the increased community aspect helps to bring in multiple viewpoint...
