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. Which will result in it looking terrible and again me searching for an even bigger and better theme 🙁 Update: Thought I’d use my Amazon plugin… Continue reading »

Will probably upgrade this evening to WordPress 2.2, which seems to have a serious amount of development in it – keep ’em peeled and I’ll let you know how it goes. All I’ll need then is a nice new theme for it (this one just looks a bit clunky, but I’m hoping to win a design from Home Biz Blogger that might be a fast improvement on my own!).

I haven’t upgraded this blog just yet, but I have upgraded one other. WordPress Tip: If your HTML WYSIWYG editor has disappeared when you upgrade, go to Users -> Your Profile and active it there.

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!

I say it’s been a quiet week on the blog and then I go and dump two posts in twenty minutes! I’ve been looking into a Multi-User Blogging format for a future project I have (it’s an event based project that’s several years away so I have time yet!). I haven’t found anything that really met my needs and was looking at farming it out and outsourcing it. However, people that know me already know I’m a fan of WordPress (which runs this blog) and am particularly interested at the moment in finding a way to use WordPress as a CMS rather than a blog. So being a big fan of WordPress I’m particularly interested in the new WordPress Multi… Continue reading »
