I happen to be a user of both WPTouch (a plugin that makes my blog mobile friendly) and Webcomic (a plugin and theme that allows you to organize comic series).

This blog is a chronicle of my adventure with Adobe in trying to get support for Flash Builder 4. You see, I purchased the premium version of the product 5 days ago, and one of the key features for the premium version is a “profiler”. Now, I got the application installed fine, and everything works EXCEPT for the “profiler”, the …
I ran into an interesting problem today with a wordpress theme that I developed for a client. I was using the same drop-down menu from the new TwentyTen theme, and everything was working fine… or so I thought.

JQTouch is an awesome platform when it comes to making a mobile optimized website. One problem that I run into a lot is that I develop on my PC, and it’s extremely cumbersome to debug and test on my mobile device during the development process. Instead, I use my PC browser to do most of my debugging and testing, then …
