Doing more with Gravatars: Part 1
I’ve been playing around quite a bit with the gravatar feature for WordPress since it now comes built in. I’ve learned a few things, so I figured I’d share them with you.
From this point forward, I will assume you know what a gravatar is.
New Design: Retro-fitted
Well. It’s done.
It took me a few days and several complete redos of the entire design, but I think I’m finally content with this new theme. I call it Retro-fitted because the colors are a kind of throwback to some past that I certainly didn’t live in.
Widgetize This!
I’m about to go all WordPress Geek 2.5 on y’all now. So, if you don’t want to look at PHP code or have no clue what a widget is, then you might want to take a break from this post.
Cleaner WordPress Gallery Plugin
So you upgraded your WordPress blog to the nifty new 2.5 only to use the gallery feature that Matt Mullenweg has been raving about.
Now, you upload that first set of pictures to only find that there are a lot of problems.
In defense of the WordPress 2.5 widget panel
I’ve heard a lot of moaning and complaining about the new WordPress dashboard. Some of these complaints are valid, such as the need for the dashboard to be either centered or fluid-width for users with larger screens.
I want to argue the other side of one of the major complaints I’ve read about — the widgets panel. And, I’m the last person one might expect to defend anything 2.5-related after my recent upgrade hassles.
Picking up the pieces
As many of you know, I’ve had a good bit of trouble in the last few days. Upgrading from WordPress version 2.5 and bbPress 0.9 has been a disaster for me.
My blog was down for about three days while I was trying to fix things. Another week of trying to get things pieced together would’ve probably made me crawl to some corner and curl up into the fetal position.
