Grr. So it seems there are lots of problems with the plugins I use also, because the brilliant minds over at Wordpress.org decided to restructure both the database, and the admin files. These two changes, in my mind make it so that many plugins, themes and customizations no longer work.
[fa:p:a=blog-images,id=468655827,j=l,s=s,l=p]Yeah, so….
In case you didn’t notice, I have a new theme (again). Which is particularly funny to me anyway, because I never even finished the one I was working on in this post. Oh well … This is probably for the best.
In the end, I decided that I didn’t really have the time to build a theme from scratch, it just takes to long. So I went with a pre-built theme by 5thirtyone (Wordpress V2), the same designer that did my brothers theme (Foliage Mod). I’ve made some minor adjustments to it, but probably not enough for anybody to really notice so the credit certainly goes to Derek Punsalan of 5thirtyone
Most notably though, in my opinion anyway, is that I’ve ditched using Gallery2 for managing my pictures and conformed into using Flickr. It means I’ve given up complete control since Flickr isn’t installed on my server, its actually run by Yahoo. But thats both good and bad. again with the “I dont have the time” theme, I don’t have to control Flickr. Also, Flickr seems to have a better API, so I was able to install a Wordpress plugin, FAlbum By Elijah Cornell, that puts all the pictures right on my website without having to fool around. There are a few other really good plugins installed to, but I’ll leave those for another post.
I’m interested to hear what you have to say about the theme, all you have to do is post a comment
[fa:p:a=72157600097463204,id=465849822,j=l,s=s,l=i]Kerry and I made it a point to go out today and take the pictures of her car. I am still on the lookout for an awesome location, but for now this parking lot seems to work quite well.
Its late however, and Kerry is trying to sleep behind me so I’ll have to keep this posts dialogue to a minimum. Which is probably good, because its all about the pictures anyway.
Since the version of wordpress I was running had a security vulnarabilty and had to be updated anyway, I went ahead and made the move to Wordpress 2. From the outside it looks no diffrent except that some of the Plugins I’m using dont quite work right anymore (like the gallery images in posts).
But the Admin interface is quite diffrent, and especially the page I’m using right now to write up posts. First, I now have a WYSIWYG for doing my composing, also the file upload dialoge is right here instead of on another page making it much easier to upload quick little pics and whatnot.
Few new features here and there, probably a nice list on Wordpress’ homepage http://www.wordpress.org but I’m to lazy to go find it for you.
Anyway, just thought I would note the date I upgraded (even though I did it like 3 days ago and just never posted)
