A change is coming

Going to be moving my blog to the K2 theme in preparation for application of my new blog design.

In the interim it will be this boring default style.

Loving the WordPress Auto Updater plugin

Loving the WordPress Auto Updater plugin. Just upgraded from 2.5 to 2.61 without having to download or manually back up a thing. took 5 minutes tops. Fantastic.

Even backedup and brought accross my customised plugins and themes.

So I iPhoned

I caved and got one. Will give it a few months before I consider going back to a more fuller featured phone.

The first app I installed was the worspress app that this post was made from.

I’m still here

Just a quick post to say I’m still here.

Have gone through a rather difficult family experience in the past few weeks coupled with some incredibly hectic work loads at the office.

I’m still here and will continue to post where I can until i can get back to a normal work load. I also have an awesome new design for my blog that the Creative Director (no-less) at ninepxels, Joe Smith, put together for me, which I hope to be building using K2. I’m just waiting to actually get some time to implement the design.

New header image, updated wordpress and cleaned theme

So I updated the header image on the blog. Took me a while to relearn my GIMP foo to get the grey-scale mask and desaturate the colour portions.

I also took some time to clean up the theme, ngatini 1.1, which had some malformed html in the footer. It’s been a long time since I hacked in PHP. I’m going to try and find some time to clean up the stylesheet in the coming days/weeks as the css seems a bit heavy for what it’s doing, in particular it seems to have some float overuse .

While I was at it I updated to WordPress 2.5.1 and hacked on the output from the About-Me sidebar widget. It now has an extra option to turn the heading for the sidebar into a link to an about me page (to expand on the one paragraph intro). I’ll look to fill in that page some more in the coming days/weeks also.

Virtual Earth plugin for WordPress

Over on the Virtual Earth blog i found this post about a virtual earth WordPress plugin.

Haven’t had a chance to play with this yet, since it’s early days in my WordPress journey, but I look forward to giving it a crack at some stage in the near future. I’ll follow up with post about my experiments with it when I get time.
