I’m undergoing some site changes with this blog. Looking for a nice wide 2-column layout for Wordpress. I’ve stumbled on Minimalist Fever 1.21. It’s clean, simple and lean. It has a fluid width, which is a must for me, looks good in all browsers, and as such, works well with all [...]
I recently decided to reinstall my Wordpress blog with the SVN copy of the software. Because Wordpress does not support upgrading through the default install- a major hindrance, I’ve decided to keep my copy updated through SVN. This means that you need a working copy of SVN on your server. If running [...]
It was important for me to get my site OpenID enabled, for those who would like to use it. I don’t force users to register an account on my blog to comment, so enabling OpenID on my blog might seem a bit silly. However, for those who would like to use their OpenID [...]
For those of you running Wordpress on your own server, or a server that you maintain, I wrote a little script that may make upgrading your Wordpress a bit easier. For me, I am running 4 installations of Wordpress, so, when the upgrades are released, it’s a bit of a pain to get them [...]
For those who are unaware, I am using GeSHi as my syntax highlighter for Wordpress. It is a solid program, and well worth the look, if you are looking for something to highlight your code on your blog. It’s licensed under the GPL, and I love it.
One of the strong features in GeSHi, [...]
Monochrome, lightweight, and totally liquid. Comments fixed on the pages, lean CSS, designed with standards, no intensive images and a dark background with light text, so no more looking into a lightbulb as you read my blog. This is definitely the Wordpress theme for me. I love it love it love it!
You [...]
Pardon my dust while I change my Wordpress theme. I’m looking for something with an overall dark theme, light text and wide. We’ll see what turns up.
I am frustrated with this site theme. It is nice, and very well laid out, but it lacks the ability to show comments on pages. I know the PHP template is correct, so there must be something going under the hood that I am not aware of. So if you want to [...]
Well, for those who are now commenting on my blog, of which I thank you, I am exploiting your user agent string, and displaying it for all the world to see. Let’s see how many of you Linux/Firefox users are actually Windows/IE users! HAHA!
It will show something to the effect of:
Using [...]
(In the voice of Dr. Evil) Bwahahahaha! Hahahahahaha!! Mmmmwahahahahaha!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! MMMMWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!! Mmmmmhmmm!! Hmmmm hmmm! hmm hmm. hmm. Okay.
Seriously, I think I am getting too much of a kick out of comment spam recently. It is just so entertaining. Here is the latest, that actually passed all the spam checks in Spam Karma, and [...]
At least I find it very humorous.
I am using Wordpress 2.0 as my blog CMS, and lately, I have been getting a fair amound of comment spam. Luckily, I have the strongest spam filter out there, Spam Karma 2. I won’t go into details about how it works, but it does a [...]
I am in the process of changing the overall look and theme of the site. I won’t be designing my own (too lazy), so I will be finding some cool Wordpress themes that are wide and stylish. If you notice that the theme changes as often as I wash my hands (I am very compulsive [...]
…setting up a Linux server, and evern worse, being the system administrator is a pain in the butt!!!111!!!11!one
Okay, here’s the thing. I am now hosting the OALUG site on my Ubuntu web server. No big deal. I am hosting 3 other sites as well. Being a web admin is not that bad. Lately, however, I [...]
As with every other blog that I have ever hosted, I seem to be the target of comment spam. In the past, I have implemented CAPTCHA images, forcing previews, and filters, all of which worked exceptionally well. With Wordpress, however, I can catch all comments in moderation to require approval first. This was working fairly [...]
