Stylesheet rewrite completed, Options implemented!

I had thought that I might make a few changes in the process of the re-write, but I’m still really fond of the style so I simply applied all the same customizations to the newer Dark stylesheet. I also got it all set up to have featured posts and videos and so forth on the [...]

I’ve just added Gravatars!

Thank’s to Matt’s Code, rather than a plugin, the comments now show Gravatars. I’ve wanted to add them for ages but all the plugins available seemed kinda involved and I’ve got way too many installed as it is.

Tagging successfully added to the theme!

I may monkey around with the way they’re displayed a bit more at some later date, but for now they’re working, and it wasn’t all that difficult either. I first looked at this excellent post describing the process, then I had a look at how it’s done in the new default Kubrick files, then ended [...]

Wordpress Plugins I’m loving today

I’ve been noticing slowdown and bugginess in the site for some time now, and it’s only been on the WordPress end of it. I wasn’t completely sure why, but I knew it wasn’t the server because the forum always pops right up quick as you please when the link is clicked, so it had to [...]

A sneak preview of TheWeeJenny.net 2.0

A sneak preview of TheWeeJenny.net 2.0

I’ve been intending to re-work the site for some time, but I didn’t get a chance to start the actual work on it until yesterday. It’s going to be a bit of a multi-phase process, since some of it can’t be done until version 2.3 of WordPress is released, and until I work out the [...]

Beware of Templatesbrowser.com

Have a look at this post over at Mandarin Musings.
www.templatesbrowser.com is re-distributing WordPress themes by removing designer credits. Even more disgusting is the fact that they are substituting designer links with their own links, and not only that, embedding hidden advertisements within the themes as well.
I’ve looked at template browser once or twice but dismissed [...]

More webhost gushing

I just installed the wp-cache plugin successfully for the first time ever! I tried multiple times on the old host but something in their server settings prevented it from working without sending a support ticket to have something changed manually on the server (I forget what exactly).
Also, I’m now able to send mass email notices [...]

We’re now 20% less broken (the site that is)

My I’ve been busy, haven’t even had time to just sit down and post.
Last week was rough, what with that whole harassment unpleasantness. I haven’t quite gotten back into the swing of things, and of course that means that there is a bunch of work now ahead of me. Why oh why doesn’t the bad [...]

I am such a flake

I just can’t seem to settle on one design for the site. I’ve been wanting it to look a bit more professional but still artsy, and I seem to be a bit restless. I’ve chosen another starter template that I’ll be customizing heavily, and I really like the way this one is laid out.
I haven’t [...]

There may be a better way

As I worked on this site I started thinking about getting together with a couple of folks and developing a new Wordpress theme with some built in functionality for various plugins and whatnot that might be useful to artists building portfolio sites. I was sorta inspired by the stuff going on at Awsom.com and thought [...]
