News about my blog
Yes, that’s right, after just a month of using it, I’m already starting to somewhat grow tired of this theme.
I really wish I had some artisitc skills so that I could make what I consider to be a perfect theme, or at least change this one more to be perfect.
What do you all think of it? What do you think I could do to improve it?
I ripped some code outta the WordPress theme K2 (the sequel to the infamous theme Kubrick that comes bundled with WordPress) that allows you to see your search results as you type.
I’ve modified it a bit and my modifications are still a work in progress, but you can check it out in the search box to the right.
(It may take a second or two to display the results as it has to query each time you type, so be patient.)
Sorry, I had a plugin that was throwing out error messages at the top of all of my pages when you first visited that site and that was screwing up the feeds. Since I’ve made this new post, Feed Burner should refresh it’s cached version of my feed and the error should go away (hopefully).
[edit] Fixed and all better! 🙂 [/edit]
Thanks gig for pointing out the error. 🙂
Got around to adding some new features to my blog! 🙂
My next project will be my About page which will feature a short little bio of me probably as well as some stats about the site such as what WordPress plugins I use.
Stay tuned.
I replaced the header image of my WordPress theme with one of my photos (larger version here) and widened the whole thing. The post contents do look a bit odd though with many of them being on one line, but overall, I think it looks a lot better now, don’t you? 🙂
Yay! More pointless blog posts about new features on my blog that you probably don’t care about! 😛
But seriously, I installed two new Gravatar plugins. The first is a replacement for the one that I was using earlier. This one caches the Gravatars here on my server and allows people who are registered here on my blog to set a custom Gravatar for use only here. This though you probably don’t care much about.
The other plugin is one that affects you more probably. It’s a cool plugin that allows you to sign up for a Gravatar account right on my blog without having to visit the Gravatar site. (See it in action here in the comments for this post.) Now you’ll have no reason to not have a Gravatar! 🙂
Added a cool plugin that displays the flag of the country that the person commenting is posting from in the comments. To check it out, see the comments for this post.
If you’re interested in implementing it in your own WordPress blog, the plugin can be found here.
Added a cool archives page to the right side under “Archives”. It lists out all entires per month. 🙂
For those running WordPress and who want it on their own blog, it uses the Clean Archives plugin to generate the list.
Welcome to yet another reincarnation of my blog. I was REALLY tired of getting comment and referral spam on my old blog, plus I was really tired of b2evolution which is what powered by old blog. This new blog is powered by WordPress which has come a long way since I last redid my blog and chose b2evolution over WordPress.
Anyway, as for this blog template, it’s just temporary until I can find something better. I’ve actually asked for some help over on my forums, so if you’re good at web design and are interested, go check that link out. 🙂
