Post Templete is a plugin for Wordpress that allows you to create a layout for your posts and then easily write a new post based on the template you’ve created. Bloggers tend to like consistency in the look of their posts and also tend to use a signature at the end of each article, and a template makes this much easier than copying and pasting the information in each time. Wordpress has become such a deep and powerful platform that it is surprising that this isn’t a built in feature. Luckily there are plugins for every need you can think of. Post Template is a one click activation, and then you create a template exactly like you do a post, save it, and then you can create a new post from that template in one click. Check it out if you need templates for your blog.

This iMac is a G3 running at 400mhz and has 384 megs of ram. It came installed with OS 9 but I upgraded it to the lastest version of Tiger 10.4.11. This did involve upgrading to 9.1 and updating the firmware first. So far I have used the latest versions of Safari and Firefox 3, Marsedit, BBedit, and 1password. All of these ran very well, in fact everything but the browsers ran the same as they do on my newer Intel based Mac. The browsers aren’t as fast but still very usable and stable. The performance of the software combination above makes the G3 iMac an excellent blogging solution.

Another test I ran was to edit a video. I recorded the video with my iPhone using Cycorder and edited it with iMovie 3, which is now available for free from Apple. The video editing also went really smooth with no crashes and the old thing that takes some time is exporting the final product. I have included the video below, and check back later for some more tests on this and other older Macs.

If you want to track topics or keywords in real time, all you have to do is add “laconica@west.spy.net” as a contact in your jabber supported chat client. I recommend Adium http://www.adiumx.com/ which allows you to use iChat, MSN, Google Talk, AIM, Facebook, and many more all at the same time.

Once you add “laconica@west.spy.net” as a contact, send them a message with the word “help” and you will get a full list of commands.

Here are some of the key commands.

add_service - Add a service you can post to.
help - Get help for commands.
off - Disable updates.
on - Activate updates.
post - Post an update to a service.
services - List all known services.
track - Track a topic
tracks - List your tracks.
untrack Stop tracking a topic

To add your Twitter account just type this message

“add_service twitter username password” of course substitute your username where it says username and your password where it says password.

To track a topic, simply type a message

“track topic” replace the word topic with any word or phrase you want to track.

This also works for identi.ca and army.twit.tv

If you have any questions, post them into the comments.

The first test I did was in my office over wi-fi, when you launch the app it tells you which iTunes libraries are available. I selected my computer and the next screen gives you the ability to browse by artist, song, album, playlist etc. I selected the song, it buffered for a few seconds and then played perfectly. The app displays all the info from iTunes but also includes a bio of the artist and lyrics to the song. I did the same test over 3G and the buffering took a few seconds longer but then it played perfectly. If listening to your entire iTunes library on your iPhone or iPod Touch wasn’t cool enough you can also share up to 30 friend’s libraries.

Download from the App Store

Here are some pictures of the app.
