WordPress 2.8 Released

m@ — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 13:21:39 +0000

Most of you are scratching your heads, but that’s okay. WordPress is the publishing platform that runs this site and many other sites I frequent. It’s an incredible piece of software, and it’s open source. That means it’s free to use and modify, which simply means constant improvement through a large user base.

There are some pretty cool publishing features with this new version that will go unnoticed by the readers, but for any of you that have to manage content, some of these features are pretty nice. Check them out here.

Photos are Up

Let’s keep this short and sweet. I moved my photos website to this domain. You can check it out here. I have an RSS feed linked on the sidebar for future reference.

Woooha!

Announcing the relaunch of WoooHa, Inc. Get it while it’s hot. Actually, get it before it’s hot. I am under the impression that rap artists drop things that are hot.

Michelle got a makeover. Check it out.

New Look

I’ve update my site design, thanks to theme designer Adii. This makes my site a little more personal now that I’ve got my ugly mug up top. The polaroids on top rotate randomly. Let me know what you guys think. I’ll be fiddling around with it for a little while I’m sure, so let me know what’s broken and what can be improved.

Fixed the Theme

Good news, everybody. I fixed my layout so the images fit into the column. Actually I just adjusted the style sheet to reduce the width of the main content, leaving me plenty of room to enlarge a third side column. … Continue reading →

Extreme Web Makeover

I decided it was time to change the look of my website. The Apple look was nice, but change is nice too. This theme organizes some of the basic navigation functionality on the top of the design. I am all set, except for one minor glitch. I can’t figure out how to get my Picasa gallery feed to fit into the sidebar. Fortunately it’s on the far right side and doesn’t interfere with any of the content. I’m using this plugin if anyone has any code experience and wants to dive into it. Let me know what you think.

Gravatars! Go Get ‘Em!

The people that make WordPress, my blogging platform, recently aquired Gravatar. It’s a global avatar publishing system. You register, upload some pictures, crop them a bit, and you have a personal avatar that you can take with you to any site that supports gravatars. Take a look at the comments, and then go get your own!

Apple Would Be Proud…Or Sue Me

I couldn’t let Michelle get away with being the only one getting a makeover. My website has been nipped and tucked, and it has emerged as a beautiful butterfly. Everyone’s screen should display wide enough for this layout. If not, it’s probably time for you to get out of the stone age and upgrade your computer so you can see it.

Nothing else should change as far as functionality goes, but let me know if something explodes when you click a link.
