Update for May ’07, With April Posts Recap
Subscribers, readers, commenters, big cheers for putting up with me.
Thought I’d drop in a few lines about some of the plans I’ve got for the blog during May ..
.. especially for those of you who were wondering if ever I’d finish this VPS Bible series – Set Up an Unmanaged VPS (4 Newbies) .. The V-P-S Bible – and get back to WordPress and other cool platforms.
Hey, tx for your patience! So here’s the deal. Well, may shove in an ad first, so ignore that.

This VPS series was only supposed to be about 7 parts long. Going on 20, er, “Ha!”
And then there’s those private client projects I’m working on, and what with a complete strip-down of Guvnr over the last couple of weeks – cos it sucked for SEO and I couldn’t have that – and so basically I’m publishing about half of what I’d like to be posting, per week, at the moment.
In May, I’ll finish the VPS series – so now you’ve got no excuse but to leave your crappy shared host, team up with yer mates, and build a bullet-proof, horny as heck, cute-as and generally super sexy virtual server. And being a damn perfectionista, the series will have to be good, with all the corresponding video sorted, what-have-you. Then, grrrr, that’ll be quite enough of anything that doesn’t resemble a virtual bloomin’ headache, for a while 
I’ve been working on some other posts, some about getting the most out of your PC, and others about Skype and, inevitably, WordPress, and I’ll be cracking those out at around the end of the month, else early June.
As per usual, if there’s something you want covered, or if you just want to recommend me to a different career, leave a comment, there’s a good fellow.
Right. I suppose you’ll be wanting that recap now. Jolly good, well done, cheerio all that …

Hey,
It would be really good if you could remove the height limit on the content box. I’ve got a scrollbar inside a scrollbar here, not really a fan.
Content is king, and your providing it in good quality and quite frequently so well done!
WordPress is great for blogs but you might also be interested in Drupal for more complex sites and opengoo for project management. These two apps have been great.

@Ben – thanks for that – appreciate it.
The height limit is a design compromise for a few reasons, but I wonder how many people feel as you do. Not overly keen either on inner scrolls.
Opengoo looks good, but I generally work with only 1 or 2 people per project. I looked at Drupal for something last year…
When not using WordPress I use MODx. Try it and let me know. Very modular and the community is terrific. Had wanted to blog some about that … what do you think?
Ben May 8th, 2009 at 9:04 pm
Heh, I spent a while making a quality comment but lost it when I forgot to put in my email (wordpress form validation fails).
I tried ModX didn’t really like it, seems dumbed down compared to Drupal. Took me a while to change the settings on the comment form, which wanted me to use html to do so.

no worries Ben – you’re right, and I appreciate the tip, and your email.
Height limit is gone, and I’m sure it’s improved usability.

That’s way more clever than I was exepctnig. Thanks!
