The Redemption of Wordpress

Having made about 8 websites using Wordpress in 4 or so months up until I went away, I was a litte fed up of the system, having to find increasingly complex solutions to some of the more advanced CMS functions required of each site. I was pretty glad when I came back that I didn't have to dive straight into another one, as much as I love the system. But I've been using it again for the new ...

Wordpress 2.5 Released

March 31st, 2008

 

Venture yonder to read more. Just installed it, quite a nice administration section I must say, navigation is slightly different but it’s intuitive enough that I quickly clocked where everything was. Just ironing out a few issues now e.g. a few template functions have been deprecated.

‘Get Firefox’ Banner v1.0 Released!

November 21st, 2007

 

New features in this release of the plugin include customizable colours (using a snazzy colour picker no less) and the banner staying close for the whole browser session once it’s clicked.

Now I realise this is starting to look like overkill, but it’s nice practice for me at least. Got to think of my next plugin now!

And I'm doing it on here because I can.

WP Pagination Tip

Also known as 'Wordpress Tips: Pagination on secondary queries'. The quick and dirty way. I'm working on using Wordpress as a CMS, and I've been making a 'News' page which the client can update. Basically, 'News' is a post category, and there are two columns of the page on the front end. The left column has titles and short decscriptions the most recent 4 posts from the 'News Category', while the right/middle column has the full version of the current news ...

Pressing Words

Could it be, an actual web-programming related post? Indeed it is, behold... I made a very silly decision a few weeks ago when I suggested to my workmates 'yeah, I think Wordpress could be a viable CMS with a bit of hacking'. After weeks of torturous problem solving activities are Javascript hacking, the 8 sites we've built so far with it are coming to fruition, and I thought I'd share some of the techniques we've developed. Firstly, one of the main problems ...
