I decided to bite the bullet and upgrade my technical blog to WordPress 2.3 from 2.2.3. One of the main reasons I wanted to move was for the better term support. Specifically, WP 2.3 categories its terms so that you can more easily tell [...]
Dougal Campbell provided a much nicer implementation for adding gravatars to your comments called Easy Gravatars. This solution doesn’t even require you to modify your theme files. Very cool!
I made a few improvements to his solution:
Improved admin page layout, including more verbose descriptions of each of the options.
Added Reset button to the admin page to [...]
I started using WordPress in September and created quite a few while learning some of the ins and outs of the system. Then version 2.3 was released, which included a database schema change. Maintaining all my blogs was beginning to be a real hassle. Not only are there multiple databases/sets of tables, [...]
I finally decided to spend a little bit of time to integrate Gravatar support into my blogs. Admittedly I was spurred on by Matt’s posting which showed up on the WordPress dashboard. I like the idea of seeing pictures of the folks commenting on my blog.
Matt’s Solution
Matt’s solution is to hard-code the Gravatar support right [...]
I find that I reference other posts on my blog all the time. I always found it to be such a hassle because of URI information that had to be entered. Then, since I use permalinks with the name of the post in the URI, I am always in danger of breaking myself if I [...]
I noticed a phenomenon on this blog pretty early on where any references one post would make to another would cause a comment to be created on the referenced post from the referring post. I didn’t know it at the time, but this is called a ping. I suspect the immediate source of the term [...]
I’ve made some additional changes to the FallSeason WordPress theme and updated the download package accordingly. Here is a summary of the changes (which I’ve also added to the modifications post):
Added support for Lester ‘GaMerZ’ Chan’s WP-PostNav plugin.
Added navigation to the previous and next post to the top of single posts (like in the [...]
I’ve been thinking lately that my top-level blog site (dpotter.net) should display a list of posts from the blogs they front. I finally got a bee in my bonnet about it and did a search for plugins that would do the trick. I found two that said they’d do it but only one of them [...]
I’ve spent a bunch of time tweaking the FallSeason WordPress Theme by Sadish Bala to work for me, and I’m pretty happy with the results. I’ve left all the identifying information virtually intact, but I have changed the version number and added my name as a modifier so that the resulting theme can be distinguished [...]
This is a very attractive theme, one I will likely switch one or more of my blogs to. The author did a very nice job with the banner image – it looks like it expands naturally with a very well blended break.
EDIT: As of today (9/20), I’m currently using an incarnation of the FallSeason theme [...]
