alternate title “Sunday Self Indulgence”
The last few weeks have been very busy, not so much with front end blogging but with back end tweaking (file that under things that sound dirty but aren’t)
After the very busy and lengthy Bread and Roses forum overhaul, I did the forums over again completely using Brian Gardner’s beautiful forum templates. They are much smaller, easier on download and well built. Brian also designed the Revolution template that AR runs on. Again a well designed, well coded template makes all the difference. How could a leftist not love a template called Revolution?
I’ve been trying the various trial versions of 2.5 and I’m quite impressed. The image handling might prove interesting for those on older computers, but it is certainly an improvement on the old style. For anyone who likes to show off their digital pics the gallery abilities will be welcome. Spent yesterday uploading the new version to all the Bread and Roses sites and updating and fixing plugins to make sure they were compatible.
I added this theme Massive News Mobile and a theme switcher. Don’t know how much use it will be but it seemed interesting.
I redid a site for a client on a template that seemed simple enough but was a PITA, came out well though. Sadly this was strictly gratis. Sigh.
Coding skills and graphic abilities are getting a workout.
pogge posted this great video over at BnR the other day. Enjoy!
As I said over at my site in reply to you, I’m having trouble getting the new image uloade part of WP to work properly.. everytime I try uploading a file, I get a file failure to send – with an “HTTP” error as a result.
Coincidentally, I’ve been playing with the latest version of Movable Type on my local Linux installation. MT is now available in an open source version. That said, if you’re already on WordPress I really can’t recommend a switch. Among other things, MT continues to rely on PERL and the demands on the server are more complex than those that WordPress makes.
Results of my own tweaking may or may not show up at my house at some point.
Careful with that video. Every time I go near it, it gives me an earworm for the rest of the day.
fyi, your link under “BlogHer Ad Network” is messed up in firefox
Could you elaborate?
I’m running FF and looks fine to me.
Looks fine to me too in FF3 (Mac). Wonder what version soul is looking at it in. I’ve found though that FF has been very consistent between versions and platforms.
