I’ve had some people ask me over the past month how to start a “photo”-blog. I’ve told them to hack the hell out of CMS packages like WordPress and TextPattern…or you could try PixelPost, who just released version 1.5. This software is written totally around the photoblog concept. Give it a try.
I moved my site over to WordPress.com. They are doing some amazing things over here with WordPress in general and I’ve found that they have incorporated some changes, even before SVN get’s them. As well, I’m beginning to screw around with my hosting service at TextDrive and I found that WP.com is a [...]
Seeing websites that still use “www” as a prefix is annoying. It’s unnecessary (most of the time). It was useful during the early days of the ‘net but now with handy utilities like .htaccess files, it’s not necessary. Open your .htaccess file and add these lines of code to redirect users away from “www.example.com” to [...]
In trying to remember what in the hell this was called, I finally found it again on Matt’s site. Shuttle is a total and complete redesign of the WordPress administration backend, which is probably the least liked piece of WordPress (IMO). It looks amazing…as if it was written by a huge software design house. Matt [...]
745+ WordPress themes. Yes, that’s a lot…and the list keeps getting bigger. Link.
Hmmm…read this article over at BloggingPro that talks about WP 2.5 being slimmed down to allow for a faster-blogging engine. It seems some of the stuff I use will be removed, as well as other crap that I don’t care about (like the user manager). All of these features will be able to [...]
The next update to WordPress (not due out for a little while), 2.1, will finally include a spellcheck button. It has been incorporated already into WordPress.com, so if you have an account there, check it out. As of this writing, 2.1 is only 28% done but once things really gear up, it should move along [...]
This video makes me want to learn PHP more. Excellent tutorial by Mark on making your first WordPress plugin in under 5 mins. Link.
An updated version of WordPress has been released. the .2 release has several bug fixes as well as security fixes that were never made public. It’s highly recommended that you update. Here is the download area.
This is pretty cool…although I can’t really see where I’d use it. Maybe you would?! :) Anyway, it’s a neat way to load WordPress on a USB drive, using Webserver On a Stick (WOS). The server on a stick thing seems kind of cool actually. Here are the instructions.
The online linux and open-source newspaper has a great article on “must-have” WordPress plug-ins. I agree with most of them but I still don’t have any desire to use Ad’s on my site. I tried it once with the Box and it only seemed to slow it down. Anyway, check it out here.
Well, my article RSS feeds are now going through Feedburner. Why? Hell, I don’t know. Probably because it took some work to edit the .htaccess file (which is always fun), so that my feeds would redirect to my Feedburner account. Now I can see who is subscribing to my RSS feed to [...]
