A WYSIWYG plugin for WordPress that will make you smile
One of the largest shortcomings of the WYSIWYG editor bundled with WordPress is that like may so called “smart” editors, it likes to change your code for you. Visual editors are notorious for this, and have been for years. It seems that the designers of these editors just “know” that what you were [...]
Remastering the MasterPlan’s Morning After WordPress Theme
It’s not often that I come across a WordPress theme that gets me excited. Most themes out there are nothing more than souped up versions of the default WP theme. Kubrick. While I have nothing against a simple layout, the fact of the matter is that most of the sites I run require [...]
Thoughts on Themes
There are a lot of great WordPress themes out there. Depending on the look and feel you’re going for on your blog, and the number of customizations you need, it’s a good chance that one quick look at The WordPress Theme Viewer, or WordPress Themes That Don’t Suck will get you something drastically close [...]
Wordpress MU plugins
WordPress MU uses two types of plugins. The standard WordPress Plugin, located (as expected) in the wp-content/plugins/ folder, and global, always on plugins, located in /wp-content/mu-plugins/ folder.
Finding plugins that are compatible with WordPress MU installs can be a bit tricky. Some work out of the box as expected, but many of the [...]
WPAds, Adserver for Wordpress
I’m working on several WordPress based projects right now. A few of these projects will require advertising a little more robust (and profitable) than Google AdSense alone. Now I’m not saying that AdSense hasn’t made me a few dollars here and there, but for two of the sites I’m putting together I’m going [...]
WordPress Themes that Don’t Suck
I may be the last person in the WordPress community to have discovered this site, but I was pleasantly surprised when I did. It’s called WordPress Themes that Don’t Suck, and for once the name pretty much lives up to the expectation. Instead of the massive outpouring of rebuilt Kubrick themes, with the [...]
Firefox extension - OneClick Installer for WordPress
O.K. Folks, this one looks quite interesting. There’s a Firefox companion extension for the Oe Click Installer Plugin for WordPress. If you’re running the OneClick Installer plugin, (I’m not, but I’m going to look into it) be sure to check out the extension here.
Stupid Theme Tricks Plugin
I’ve been working off-and-on at creating a plugin that will automatically update copyright dates. Granted, it’s a simple plugin, but there is still some basic functionality that I feel every piece of code should have, and I’m not quite there yet. I’ll post more about this as I have the time. Right [...]
Stupid Theme Tricks: Taming pesky third party widgets
It happens to everyone. You’ve set up the perfect blog theme, gotten your sidebar(s) just the way you wanted and it’s time to add that last little snippet. And it doesn’t lay out properly. It may be Google AdSense, and Amazon affiliate widget or a Flickr badge, but whatever it is, it’s [...]
Stupid Theme Tricks: Keeping your copyright up to date
One of the things I see constantly when looking at blogs is the outdated copyright. To me there’s nothing that will make me chuckle faster than a copyright notice at the bottom of a blog or website that reads something like:
Copyright 2002 - 2005, some company name. All rights reserved.
This, to me is [...]
