Removing Vocals from a Song in Audacity

February 9, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

This may not be eminently useful, but illustrates how I scratch my curiosity itch with a bit of serendipity. And How I learn more from trying stuff than just retweeting it. Today I was looking for some tutorial resources for […]

One Click Featuring in WordPress Sites

February 5, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

January 30, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

The theme I set up for the SPLOT site is a landing page style one called Onsie (free one page responsive theme from Graph Paper Press). There is not much to it, a large welcome page, an image gallery for […]

Dealing With the Blog Flow

January 22, 2015March 5, 2015 cogdog

I’ve been involved with, building sites for and participating in courses/etc that work like the You Show where we syndicate in the work of participants. It’s marvelous. And overwhelming. While we create the main blog flow and can subdivide, e.g. […]
