WordPress 2.5 Up And Running

Posted in WordPress on March 29th, 2008 by William Speruzzi

wordpressI just upgraded to the new version and things might be running a little out of wack for a while especially with some of the plugins not upgraded for 2.5. Not all of them are 2.5 compliant like the Print This Post plugin for example.

I’m pretty impressed with this upgrade and I know a lot of work went into it to make it load faster with a lot of other built in enhancements. Thanks to the WordPress team and all the developers for creating an excellent publishing platform.

Feel free to contact me if something isn’t working correctly.

This is a big one so read up before installing or maybe just do the prudent thing and wait a week or two. The hell with that, install now.

Feed Issues

Posted in Blogging, WTF on July 12th, 2007 by William Speruzzi

I’m trying to figure out a feed problem I’m having with the blog. I want to offer an easy subscription via a RSS feed on the sidebar with FeedBurner but it doesn’t seem to be cooperating. Hopefully I’ll figure it out soon.

The Blog I Want To Be When I Grow Up

Posted in Blogging, Craft, Filmmaking, Recommended, Screenwriting on July 12th, 2007 by William Speruzzi

One of my recent favorite stops on the interweb has been Mystery Man On Film. I like the fresh perspective that he brings to the table. A self-proclaimed student of screenwriting, Mystery Man is a forward thinker, looking for a better understanding of storytelling without drowning in the sea of books on the subject. Even though he does reference the works of Robert McKee and others he recognizes that story is about seeing a bigger picture. He makes a statement in this meme that I think sums up what film bloggers have probably subconsciously known for a while:

I believe that aspiring screenwriters could learn more from film scholars (aka “film bloggers”) then they would from most screenwriting gurus.

Analysis, reviews, food for thought and the invaluable script breakdowns via Miriam, this site recognizes the importance of balancing a well-rounded, fully developed screenplay with a good understanding of visual storytelling. It represents why I think the blogosphere serves a filmmaker’s need to explore the multi-disciplined craft of filmmaking but at the same time doesn’t just drink the Kool-Aid served up by the “gurus.”

Thanks Mystery Man, whoever you are.
