I’ve been browsing around (aimlessly) looking at WordPress themes.
Uploaded a couple and tried them out, but there’s always something that I don’t like. Typography, comments, additional plugins I need to use the theme. After a while I return to my 3 column version of K2.
What I don’t like are hard-coded navigation or list links. […]
I’m playing around with WordPress themes today
Currently displaying is a Mac theme to celebrate this year’s move to a MacBook.
It snowed a little bit today… about half a millimeter.
A WordPress plugin called Bad Behavior blocked me out of my own blog this morning.
Error 403

The benevolent dictator model
This article has been linked to from lots of WordPress sites, but I was just struck by the use of language… software is getting more religious and political comparisons.
Interesting:
What a GPL’d Movable Type means for WordPress
I’m trying out cforms II for a work blog.
See Contact
WordPress plugins are getting more and more elaborate…
took me a while to get this form to display cos of the various options.
Lorelle has an overview of contact form plug-ins.

Maybe I’ll try out this Wordpress theme over the weekend:
Whitespace WordPress Theme
And I’ve still got to figure out how to install and configure a Tomcat on a Mac.
And I still want to install MacFuse and MacFusion
Here are my short notes on new Wordpress plugins I’m trying out at Chiperoni.org:
SEO Title Tag
I read about this in a WordCamp 2007 report last weekend. The corresponding plugin web page is here.
If you’re using K2, open header.php and replace everything within the title tag with this:
<title>< ?php if (function_exists(’seo_title_tag’)) { seo_title_tag(); } else […]
I’ve been reading thru various WordCamp 2007 posts. And I’ve found quite a number of useful tips. This evening I quickly skipped thru Lorelle’s slides:
with lots of very useful advice how to build content.
Just a couple of thoughts to carry on the conversation:
I agree that you should spend extra time to write better posts. […]

What others are saying about corporate blogging
I like this:
Actions always prove louder than words. Lead by example. Give people something to aspire to but don’t make it so daunting that they will be easily discouraged.
This holds true for a lot of other things as well, not just blogging…
Apparently the number of blogs is peaking and […]
How many online services did you sign up for, use once or twice, and then never return again?
In my case, that would be lots of ‘em. Some of them are really popular services like Digg or Mister Wong, where I just haven’t found a personal use case, or I’ve got a substitute or workaround. […]
If you’ve upgraded to 2.2, don’t forget to update your Press It bookmarklet as well. I kept getting an undefined function in
wordpress/wp-admin/edit-form.php on line 35 error. Until I remembered that this might be related to the new version I installed a couple of days ago.
Here’s what you need to do:
Delete the old bookmarklet and […]
Here are a couple of starting points:
Blog hosting
Three possibilities:
Sign up with a hosted service such as WordPress.com, Typepad or Vox (fastest cos it takes all of 5 mins).
Sign up with a webspace provider that already includes blog software in their package.
Sign up with a webspace provider that offers PHP 4.x or later and MySQL and […]
Here are the slides of my talk that I just held at the STC Transalpine Chapter Conf:
They’re very minimal and short… but over time I’ve collected a lot of examples at the back of my head so that I easily managed to fill the 1 hour slot. The online demo worked well with the […]
At an undisclosed location in the very near future, the editor of this beautiful blog will be holding a talk on a high-flying topic yet to be prepared.
Blogging for Content Developers
I’ve decided to give this whole project a jump-start by writing down the outline in my blog… because getting started is always the hard […]
Useful reminder when divs start getting more and more confusing:
CSS Positioning
Weekend is WordPress playland here at the headquarters of Chiperoni.org. I upgraded to the latest version of WP 2.0.5 and started playing around with the Tarski and Simplr themes. Quite undecided still. Will probably return to the previous design any time soon.
Here’s the current Tarski setup:
And Simplr:
Also included is the usual WP plugin and […]

WordPress has done a far better job of growing their community
I agree
Wordpress plugin du jour - for future reference:
Event Calendar Version 3.1.0
P.S. Has anyone tried it out yet? Is it better than integrating Google Calendar?
This guy has got some very nice WordPress themes:
wildbits — Kram
for future reference:
Customizing Vanilla
yesterday evening I started playing around with some Wordpress plugins I’d found.
SlimStats
This Day
I made a small code change in wp-config.php. Everything was working fine… I thought. But this morning I got this error message (please skip the next paragraph if you’re a wp/PHP geek, you’re probably going to throw your hands up in […]
I’m still having trouble posting entries via email to my Wordpress blog:
- How do I get rid of line breaks?
- How do I get the link across without a line break?
I guess the email clients are introducing the line break somewhere along the line.
Something to try out:
