I’ve blogged over at dxw on the topic of customising your WordPress dashboard with screen options.

I’ve blogged about WordPress, plugins and security over on the dxw blog.
Blogging about WordPress for DXW
I’m pleased to be working with my friends from DXW, writing for their blog on the topic of WordPress, with a particularly slant on using it in the public sector.
I’ll be covering stuff from the basics right the way up to more sophisticated uses, advising on plugins, security, hosting, some of WordPress’ lesser known features and more.
If you’ve any topics you would like to see covered, let me know!
A few changes in these parts
Since work is now WorkSmart and I am retiring Kind of Digital as a professional thing, I thought it was time to sort out my blog.
After all, kindofdigital.com was once davepress.net and before that many incarnations over the years – going back to September 2004. Nearly ten years!
Anyway, the result of this is that business blogging will take place over at WorkSmart and this blog will transition to being about me me me. Well, it will probably end up still covering government and digital like it always did – because basically that’s all I think about these days.
I’ve also rehosted the whole blog at wordpress.com – mostly just to reduce the numbers of things I have to think about. I’ll be playing around with themes and layouts for a bit I think, til I find something I’m remotely happy with.
Enough navel-gazing… carry on!
