I Fucked Stuff Up

Posted on May 30, 2007 by Meredith

Oh dear. Dan said that upgrading to WordPress 2.2 was a snap, so I didn’t bother to make any backups of the site files or the database before I upgraded. It turns out that the King Text widget is not compatible with WP 2.2, and without it my entire site design is hosed. So I’ve … Continue reading »

Quicklinks on Hold

Posted on February 9, 2007 by Meredith

The quicklinks are going to be temporarily on hold until I can get Postalicious working. I am determined to make this sucker work and then I can do all kinds of things with the quicklinks posts. But meanwhile, it is being standoffish, and I have exhausted all my ideas so I’m waiting to hear back … Continue reading »

Quicklinks for 2007-02-06

Posted on February 6, 2007 by Meredith

I’ve unveiled the Valentine’s theme on my site; you can click here to see it. (If you don’t like it, click here to go back to the old one.) It was created 100% by me using an image I bought off iStockPhoto; the fancy post titles are from the Fancy Headlines plugin and the fancy … Continue reading »

Broken

Posted on January 1, 2007 by Meredith

My website has started off the new year by breaking in a puzzling way. All the widgets on my homepage that are created with PHP are gone. (This applies to individual post pages too.) At first I thought PHP was broken – but no, I was using my own PHP5, and I didn’t change anything. … Continue reading »

Good WordPress Themes

Posted on December 15, 2006 by Meredith

This is a totally frivolous post. I was looking through the WordPress Theme Browser, and I made a list of themes I liked, so I’m posting that list here. They’re all free to download, so if you like them, go for it. The Happy Cat Bubblue Tropical Flowers Vermilion Christmas Web 2 Wannabe Sky Summer … Continue reading »

Tagging

Posted on December 7, 2006 by Meredith

I just got through tagging the entries around Empress Wu‘s death. Damn, that sucked. Much worse than tagging those around Toadstool‘s death. I am going to need to go home and hug kitties big-time. So I have tagged almost all of 2006 now. Tagging is not easy; as I mentioned it requires reading everything. It’s … Continue reading »

Tagging the Years

Posted on December 4, 2006 by Meredith

Now that I have got Postie working for e-mail postings, and my theme widget-ready thanks to King Text, I am focusing my full attention on tagging with Ultimate Tag Warrior. I’ve already eliminated categories from my theme, replacing them with tags. Folksonomy is really moving forward in the direction of tags, rather than categories. I’ve … Continue reading »

Mission Accomplished: Widgets!

Posted on December 4, 2006 by Meredith

I did it! Almost entirely by myself, with just a bit of help from Mark of Weblog Tools Collection, I widgetized my design. I now have 13 instances of the King Text plugin running, each containing the code from my original sidebar. I was not able to find a way around the problem of the … Continue reading »

Testing

Posted on December 3, 2006 by Meredith

I am testing my post-by-email function. I’m pretty sure it will work for LiveJournal, and I think it will work on WordPress, but I’m not 100% sure. I don’t really have anything useful to say, I just wanted to try out my email posting! (I am sending this to two addresses, rather than posting to … Continue reading »

Widgetizing

Posted on November 30, 2006 by Meredith

This will probably not be of interest to anyone who isn’t into PHP, WordPress, and/or Sidebar Widgets. I am having bizarre results trying to widgetize my design. The biggest concern I have is that I need the widget title to be outside the $before_widget code. I figured out how to do this by altering widgets.php … Continue reading »
