Another H5P error that was showing up on a multisite WP install. I think it’s because this is an older multisite. I didn’t see it on some other multisites where we have H5P. The error looked something like this in console. This ends up being another .htaccess fix (remember to set your preferences to see […]

We have a dedicated H5P WordPress multisite. iframe embeds of the H5P content were failing because of some new security settings on our new server were required same origin for iframes. You could […]
Badges? Badgr Badges? We don’t need no stinking Badgr
As Middlebury closes the MIIS campus, we are also closing our non-credit online offerings.1 The courses were in Canvas and they used Badgr/Parchment to award badges.2 Of course Instructure ended up changing the rules around using Badgr/Parchment half way through and so, absent money, it stopped working. Pro-tip folks, don’t use any freemium stuff for […]

A robust WordPress Translation Site
If you swish it around in your mouth and gargle a bit, you’ll taste notes of saffron and coriander! What a nose! Such mouthfeel!1 See folks,2 I am not even hiding my nonsense in the comments any more. That’s one of the refreshing things about having your own site.

That being said, there is a certain satisfaction in finally accomplishing something difficult even if doing it is […]

LaTeX and real(ish)-time collaboration in WordPress
Here’s a plugin that seems to allow for pretty decent, fairly synchronous LaTeX editing in WordPress. It’s been polished up by Claude Code. That’s why you get a readme.1 While I’m not going to share it more widely at Middlebury2, it does point at some interesting general capabilities that I might use for something else. […]

Maidu Translation Site Progression
I’m working with an anthropology professor to put some Maidu stories online. You can see a functional version of it here. The basic idea is to show the original text on the left and pair it with the English translation. From there, we’re trying to figure out the other things that the site should do. […]
Student Portfolios in WordPress: Déjà Vu Remix
I’m looking at creating k12 teaching portfolios aligned to Vermont’s teaching standards. On the plus side, I made a similar portfolio when I did my ITMA program at Virginia Tech.1 As someone who hired a lot of teachers in VA once upon a time I’ve also looked at hundreds of teacher portfolios. And, finally, over […]

AI Commenting Chaos Incarnate
As I tell my kids . . .1 Me: Remember Jim Groom? Kid 1: The guy who shaved his head in our downstairs bathroom? Kid 2: Bava bloody, bava? Kid 3: From that creepy baby picture? Kid 4: The guy you made a pumpkin carving of? Kid 5: That guy on Santa’s lap? Kid 6: […]
OpenAI API in a WordPress Plugin
My goal this morning was to see if I could tie in the OpenAI API for a project where I uploaded images to WordPress and it automatically extracted the text from the image. Since I’ve been using the OpenAI API previously and had a decent amount of success with text extraction, I went ahead and […]
