WordPress Themes

Posted by admin on July 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

In an effort to get a better understanding of the way WordPress uses themes I’ve changed the look of the blog. I’m not sure I like the design too much, but I’ve at least figured out what CSS tags and chunks of PHP code control what.

Maybe if I muster up the energy I’ll work on actually making it look nice. Currently I was mainly concerned with figuring out what controlled what. Fairly intuitive, but I do wonder how easy it would be to hack…there is a lot of php strings being passed around. PHPNuke was worse, but WordPress seems accessible to a dedicated anti-social guy lacking female companionship.

I do have an e-x-ploi-t sc**n3r installed as a widget so that may help with security.

New Wordpress Plugin

Posted by admin on June 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment 

I found a pretty useful WordPress plugin that allows you to have pop-up images in your posts. Here is a nice little picture of Isaac that Jen sent me from when he was still living at the breeders.

The FlickrTips plugin seems to be rather quick and not too terribly annoying like some pop-ups that seem to hang around too long or are hard to get rid of. I am going to look to see if I can change the color of the underline that shows up when the link is to an image. Also it doesn’t seem to like images with ?POST data.

I also found this picture which I thought was quite amusing. This is classic helper attire (shorts, sandals, bandanna, and sunglasses). Is that a cigarette or some type of training aid I’m not familiar with?
