Cadillacs and My Friend Scott

July 14, 2009 in Blogging, Creativity, Technology with 1 Comment

I used to drive a 1964 Cadillac Eldorado that was black with full flames. It was a beast. When I had it, a bunch of kids in my youth group at the time nicknamed me “CadillacZak.” The name has stuck ever since. In honor of my love for classic caddys, I give you a new blog design, complete with a caddy.

Random fact: my son Couper is named after the Coupe DeVille. Hence the odd spelling. We have car names picked out for all future kids too.

Thanks to my buddy Scott Magdalein at Updatable for the help. If you haven’t checked out what Scott does, you need to. Personally, I believe he’s got THE BEST thing going for churches that need to establish a web presence. The prices are right and his work is incredible. He’s also been a part of developing several iPhone apps and best of all leads worship at a local church all while wearing the coolest, metro hats ever. :)

Scott’s team also designed www.namethischurch.com and is currently working on our brand spanking new website and church logo…STELLAR!

Calling All WordPress & Twitter Users

May 21, 2009 in Apple/Macintosh, Technology with 1 Comment

ttcOne thing I love about the web 2.0 revolution is how all of the great platforms out there are open source. The sky is the limit!

Since I started using twitter, I’ve wondered what kinds of plugins would be developed for my self-hosted WordPress blog.

Enter Tweet This Comment. Tweet This Comment drives traffic to your blog by turning every comment into a possible Twitter link-back to your blog. How does it work? It integrates with WP’s built-in comment system and gives your commenters the ability to post their comment (or any message they desire) to their Twitter account with a shortened URL (bit.ly) that leads right back to the post on which they commented.

My buddy Scott Magdalein & his friend Kyle Peterson have developed this truly unique and incredibly useful plugin. Great developers, a great plugin and incredible results!
