New Look

Monday April 14, 2008 at 12:58 am | Filed under Quickies, Site

As promised I spent some time over the weekend to change the look of my site a bit.  I used some ideas that I had from a few designs ago and a template that I found online and put them all together to get what you see here.  It’s not done though… oh no… it’s never done.  But it’s over 50% so it’s worth launching.

Wordpress 2.5 was a pretty big leap.  Or at least it feels that way.  Rumor has it 2.6 will build off of these changes and be ever more cool.  Can’t wait!

Pardon the Dust

I’ve just updated the site to Wordpress 2.5 and the theme I was using wasn’t hip to it.  So I have a temporary one that I hope to not have for too long.

I’m off work, but I’m working…

While we await the arrival of our new bundle of joy, I’ve had some time off of work to get some things done. Well, not every day… today I sat around a lot. I did set up the cool baby intercom thing and played some Rock Band. I really just looked up at the time on my screen and realized it was Saturday. Where did that week go?

I’m spending some of the time I’m waiting building a few web sites. One is for me and two are for others. I’m using Wordpress for two of them and I always find cool new stuff when I filter through the community to update the plugins I usually use. For example…

  • WPhone, or Wordpress Phone is a very cool plugin that put your Wordpress admin interface in the palm of your hand. It’s a must use if you like blogging on the go. It works beautifully on the iPhone and it says it works on other mobile phones too. Take a look at it here.
  • TinyMC, which is the WYSIWYG editor for wordpress is something I’m looking into to develop my own button for so that I can have an easy way to embed photos and use that cool lightwindow effect. I’m trying to borrow (i.e., hack) from this plugin to accomplish this.
  • ms_lightwindow is the plugin I just mentioned which I’ve modified a little to use on this site here. You have to do some manual work for this one (until I can get that custom button done), but it’s worth it. That’s here.

In other blogging news, I understand you poor saps who are using Internet Explorer don’t see this site as it should and that’s a shame. This theme that I’m using has a few problems with the IE so it might be time to change it up again. So sad. But change is good!
