Now I know that I don’t have “THAT” many readers, but I’ve always found it quite nice when I leave a comment on a site, to be notified by email when someone else has replied, whether that be another user engaging in discussion or the site owner! To this end I went hunting for a subscribe to comments system, and found exactly that in Subscribe to Comments 2.1 as recommended by Derek Punsalan (who also explains a little bit of customisation of the script). So if you do leave a comment going forward, you should – hopefully – get notified of responses, if you don’t then let me know!

I love some of Chris Pearson’s work, particularly his Celebrity Hack Workspace () 🙂 Anyway Chris designed the theme for CopyBlogger, again! Part of the new developments over at CopyBlogger is to release the old theme after Chris has made some tweaks to it! As most people know I’m always on the look out for a new theme, so I’ve installed this one for a day or so to see if it feels “right”, it probably won’t and I’ll come up with some half baked modification to it, combining it with some other theme.

If this works I should have managed to post to the WordPress Category in my blog. This isn’t setup as a cron job yet as I want to test it thoroughly first!!!

I’ve fancied doing this for sometime, the ability to forward stuff via email to my blog will prove really useful – but even more important was the ability to add some photos via email! According to the WordPress Plugins page, John Blade‘s plugin was the place to start, unfortunately I could find no link to it on his blog 🙁 Further searching revealed on the WordPress Site, that Economy Size Geek had taken over development and renamed the plugin, Postie. I shall be installing this later today!

I recently discussed the search box not working on the second search, turns out that this is probably due to my .htaccess rules for mod rewrite, but as I can’t face rewriting them, I’ve just edited sidebar.php, so that instead of submitting to $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’]; the search box now submits to /index.php – seems to work!
