You can now post to your WordPress blog via your Blackberry.

First, download the WordPress app from the Blackberry application store (free).

Then, from your desktop, log in to your blog and enable XML-RPC from the writing options page (/wp-admin/options-writing.php).

Once you’ve added the WordPress application to your Blackberry, run it, and add your blog by clicking the Blackberry key, and selecting Add Blog. You need your blog URL (http://etc, etc) and your username and password that you use to login to your blog via the wp-login.php page.

The Blackberry app let’s you add categorized and tagged posts, pages, and also manage your comments.

This post was created with the Blackberry WordPress App.

Happy mobile blogging!

From the data presented for D2Coding, it’s clear that more visitors are interested in learning about D2Coding in general, that those visitors interested in what we do are three times more interested in our Flash/Actionscript portfolio than our Web 2.0 Technologies portfolio, and that either database/server-side coding is not interesting to them, or the specific technologies are meaningless to them, and so they don’t click on those links.

If you have Analytics, check out your site overlay by clicking the link in the left hand corner.

GettingThere

The site overlay will also give you data regarding your goal conversions, but we have not not included Google Adwords on the D2Coding site, so the data was not useful to this article.

New to the mocking scene, I didn’t understand the difference at first, but the latter part of the portion I have linked to states that Mocks are used to validate behavior whilst Stubs are used to validate state . Looking at the two example tests, the difference between the two types of tests becomes readily apparent. One tests the certain methods fired, and the other tests that properties of an object contain the values that we thought they should be.
