As some of you may already be aware, somebody recently started up a Twitter account using my name, picture, and a slight variation of my username to throw insults around at various local personalities. My initial reaction was one of surprise. While I have a pretty good idea who the genius behind it was, I never thought the account would catch on—which it didn’t. See, my relevance left the building as soon as everyone else realized that they could do what I do (hint to social media salespeople—you’re not nearly as smart as you tell people you are).
I was going to let it go, as it was little more than a minor annoyance. But the thought occurred to me that I could learn something from...
I looked for months for an easy way to make this happen. I originally tried to do it through a separate section in Textpattern, but I don’t know enough about PHP to make the sections match up, so doing it that way would require me to post everything twice—not an option. I searched every once in a while for a plugin similar to the Wordpress Mobile Plugin Pack but never found anything. Finally, about a month or so ago, I came across what might be the simplest possible solution imaginable.

I received this envelope in the mail today, or sometime in the past several weeks. I had not been to my mailbox in a while, but knew that due to tax season rolling around, I had better get there. I found a key the post office puts in there when you have a package to pick up from one of the lockers. It felt like a spy movie. I went to the locker, opened it, and found the envelope.
