So, I tweeted the other day that I updated to WordPress 2.6 successfully, but didn’t blog about it. I am very pleased with the changes, though I had two minor frustrations, one was WP’s fault, the other not.
First, the goodness. When 2.5 came out, they completely changed the media/image management, changing the upload and selection [...]
This post is really a test, but I’ll share the full problem and solution (assuming the test works), so it might help someone else out there as well.
The other day, for the first time ever, I noticed that a post of mine hit my RSS reader (Thunderbird) with a date of 11/29/1999. I [...]
Last week, my friend Jamie Thingelstad tweeted from the Rails Conference that he was considering switching to NginX (I’ll probably drop the caps starting now) after sitting in on a session about it.
Prior to that mention, I had only heard of it once, when an internal tech email at Zope Corporation mentioned that one of [...]
I’ve never been that tempted to try a fat client blog writing application. I’ve been reasonably pleased with the built-in WYSIWYG editor in WordPress. I don’t typically blog when I have no Internet connection, which is one of the better reasons given by those who use these tools.
One of my friends (Jamie Thingelstad) swears by [...]
When I upgraded to WordPress 2.5 I articulated a few UI problems on my site. Here’s the relevant section:
The Sociable plugin is once again formatting the bullets in a block list, rather than inline. This can be fixed with my own css (as I’ve done in the past), but I have no idea what broke [...]
My last post announced a physical move of this server. Before the server was shut down, I saw the announcement for WordPress 2.5 final. I installed it locally on my laptop, and saw that everything on my site worked, with the exception of the Popularity Contest plugin. I had the time to update the main [...]
YATU (Yet Another Theme Update)…
In two previous posts, I mentioned that with my new XAMPP setup, I could and would be tinkering around with WordPress themes a bit more. At the same time, I switched to the Aspire theme, which I liked (functionally), but wasn’t thrilled about in terms of color contrast.
For the past week [...]
Yesterday, I raved about XAMPP in this post. In there, I made the following statement:
The other major thing that I don’t like (but which I suspect is easily fixable with a CSS tweak) is that the Sociable plugin formats the icons in a list (one per line) rather than as an inline string of icons, [...]
For a while now, I’ve been both relatively happy with my theme, as well as marginally frustrated by it. I don’t need to bore you with exactly what I didn’t like, so I’ll bore you instead with what I’ve done about it.
I have never bothered in the past to dig too deeply into [...]
OK, this is the last announcement of something as silly as a theme change. Since I specifically mentioned which theme I was using in the last post, I didn’t want anyone who visited now to think that they were viewing that theme. I think they did a very nice job, very attractive, but it didn’t [...]
