Really useful plugins for word press

Posted in blogging, plugins on March 16th, 2008

I’ve just plugged in a similar post plugin which I got from this page

The whole site is very useful for word press information. I don’t know about you but I find the forum on word press slow to find an answer.

So testing ’similar posts’ plugin

Compatible plugins and themes for word press

Posted in blogging, plugins, templates on March 13th, 2008

Once word press 2.5 comes out and we all upgrade, there will be a lag between the compatible plugins and themes. Wordpress.org does have a list of those compatible with each version of word press. I have just had to upload my commentluv plugin again as the old one wasn’t working. This plugin allows the commenter’s last post to appear with his/her last feed item.

Customising your word press blog

This is my own video. Before embedding any You tube video, make sure you go to Users>Profile>unclick Visual editor.

You can now see You tube videos in a larger format

Graphic headings for blogs or web sites

Posted in blogging, templates, web design, web graphics on March 10th, 2008

The header you see above is my own photo, taken when I was in NY at the Guggenheim Museum. I cropped the photo so that only a section of it appears here.

Now you too can customize your blog with your own header at least.  For word press, I copied the graphic which was there and in a graphic editor I worked out its size.

I then cropped my own image to the exact same size.

Then you simply upload via FTP to header.jpg or gif. In my case I substituted 4 headings with the same graphic, but you can override that later with other graphics you like.

By the way, I’m happy for anyone to copy my header and if you want me to make another type from more of my photos, just contact me with the dimensions you need.

Disaster in trying to upgrade word press

Posted in blogging on March 3rd, 2008

I tried to upgrade word press but it failed. I had backed up my files, but the theme I had is missing quite a few widgets. Please bear with me.

At least the site is here, where there was a blank before.

Too late in the night to fix now.
