This will be a quick one – if you want to add those nifty little images to your blog posts (and they don’t have to be from flickr), follow these simple steps:

1. Get the code to link to the image (like the stuff under Option 1 at the bottom of this page).
2. In your blog post, before typing any of the body, add this:

   <div style="float:left;padding:5px">[code from step 1]</div>

3. Add your compelling content.
4. Post, crack a cold one.

The key is the "style" attribute in the div tag. "float:left" tells it to, yep, float the div to the left. "padding:5px" creates a 5-pixel around the contents of the div. If you don't konw what any of that means, just smile politely and bask in your newfound ability to have sweet images embedded in your blog posts!

In a fairly recent post, I described some situations where I find ubiquitous capture to be somewhat difficult to implement. Keeping the necessary tools close at hand (as well as being in a free enough position to actually use them) was a common thread among all of my “problem areas”. I’m happy to report that [...]

In my eternal pursuit of total organization, I’m often faced with the task of filing/saving truly miscellaneous information that I may not need later, but had a hell of a time coming across to begin with. You discover some oddball fact that you’ve wondered about for years (and are happy to finally know), but the [...]

Legal Andrew has an interesting post regarding the use of Post-It Notes as a collection tool for GTD. He cites their size and portability as obvious benefits, as well as how nice they are for quick reminders when “switching contexts”, so to speak. While I definitely understand his affinity for everybody’s favorite sticky yellow thing, [...]

We’ve all been there at least once – we’ve just finished reading GTD and are now sitting in the presence of a myriad of choices as to how to implement the GTD system. What tools shall I use? Digital or Analog (or a hybrid of the two)? It can be quite daunting, to be sure. [...]

This is one of those ‘duh’ things, but being a bit on the dim side, I’m a bit late in discovering this. From the time I started doing GTD up until a couple of days ago, my in-basket on my desk at work was immediately to the left of my computer. So, if there was [...]

While still in beta (which, as you know, is the new black), list management/reminder site Remember the Milk has become quite a player in the Web 2.0 productivity game. It offers plenty of very slick features, including a mobile version, SMS capabilities and (of course) tagging. The Republic of Geektronica has a very informative post [...]

A few months back, I was perusing David Allen’s website and came across the Two Minute Timer in the online shop. The idea is simple: a small program that counts down 2 minutes, then does something when the time expires. I thought it sounded useful, but I didn’t really think the application justified a $10 [...]

My Read/Review list is split almost down the middle between printed articles, papers, etc. and content found on the web (I’m actually surprised by this, given how much time I spend at the computer – I would’ve guessed the vast majority of my list was stuff on the Internet – anyway…). And while it’s easy [...]

In addition to being a professional computer geek, I’m also something of an armchair coffee connoisseur. I roast my own coffee at home and have a pretty respectable collection of preparation/brewing tools that get some pretty heavy use. I also managed a coffeehouse for a spell when I was younger, so I’ve got some experience [...]
