I had been using the iPhone WordPress app to moderate my blog since it was released but I started getting an ‘NSXMLParserErrorDomain Error 64′ error in the last few months when using the app. I thought it was a bug either in WordPress or the App but several revisions had gone by so I figured it must be my blog at fault.
A bit of Googling reveals this is a Cocoa error where the XML parser does not find the opening XML tag where it expects it. This problem is usually caused by extra carriage returns at the top of the XML RPC response.

I have been building up a backlog of information I wanted to post on my old HowTo website but I just could not be bothered to launch GoLive and wrestle with it for 20mins before I could even start making changes.

The inevitable death of GoLive after the Adobe-Macromedia meant that sooner or later the site was going to need reworking. However rather than pay Adobe for the GoLive-Dreamweaver crossgrade I figured I could get a much better site without shelling out any money if I switched to WordPress.

Problem is that I liked the layout of my old website and its variable width design and I could find no Themes I liked for WordPress although GlossyBlue from N.Design Studio came close. I decided to crack out my copy of the excellent CSSEdit and trusty php editor TextMate and set to work. I’m pretty pleased with the result (although I wasted hour trying to get it to work with IE and it’s still not that great) and even got the variable width to work as I wanted.

It’s going to take me a while to port my old HowTos to the new system so they are off-line for the time being (sorry) but let’s hope that this is the start of much more frequent updates.
