Listamatic - various options for styling lists

Needed that link. Apparently haven’t blogged it before. (If I don’t save it here, I lose it!)

All WP Functions

Probably a little confusing. But having some (minor) experience in java programming, it’s cool to see the list of functions clearly outlined and with what parameters they take, etc. I expect that page to be VERY helpful

There’s security reasons why the tags that are allowed are limited to the ones listed, but if you must have something like imgs allowed in your comments, here’s an explanation of how to change that.

(kses.php is in your wp-includes folder)

Having recently redesigned the site - I wasn’t really intrested in trashing it and starting fresh. It wasn’t really that difficult to switch the template over. (I’m still tweaking it a little bit, but I’m very close!)

Basically, I just copied my template into a text editor and swaped the MT tags for the WP equivalent. In some cases using a simple find and replace. (Like for permalinks and post ids)

Here’s some very useful links I’ve been referring to A LOT:
Moving from MT to WordPress
(I already linked this - but it’s so useful, it’s worthy of being linked again. While I move my blog over, I’ve gone to this page so many times I lost count. Maybe I should just make it my home page when I start up my browser! LOL!)

MT tag vs. WP tag: Volume 1, Volume 2
Linked to from that Carthik.net Article

Template Tags (wordpress wiki)

I should add that one of the coolest things I like about wordpress is how easy it is to create and add plugins. I suspect that a lot of my “tutorials” will be reduced to - Here’s the plugin - load it, and you’re good to go. LOL! YAY WordPress!

Go an’ get it!

WordPress 1.2

Thanks to Adam for reminding me of this URL:

Form to send manual pings

I’m so used to the way MT works - switching to a different system is taking a little getting used to. (I told Matt that I need MT Rehab) ;o)

In any case - if you want something to show up only on a page where one post is displayed, wrap it in this code:

<?php if ($single) { ?>
YOUR STUFF TO DISPLAY ON THE “SINGLE POST” PAGE
<?php } ?>

Just a note to myself for a list of features I want/need for WordPress. (If one of these already exists, PLEASE let me know! Or if you’re planning on working on something similar, let me know that too)

1) Comment Subscription
Like I have running now.

2) Comment “highlight”
(Step 1)The ability to “edit” a comment and add a “tag” that will style it differently than the rest. This is probably most useful on sites like this where in a stream of questions - someone posts a very important answer in the comments, and I want to make sure it stands out for others to see.
(Step 2)Have a few “levels” to that style. ie. VERY important comment. Kinda important comment.
(Step 3)Have comments be “nominated” important by the readers themselves (removing the admin from having to maintain it)

3)The ability to customize which pages show up in the admin edit templates screen.
I’m thinking this needs to be and editable flat file or list from the database where you can add pages/remove pages/edit the path to the pages, etc.

4)The ability to paginate archives. (kind of like the way mt-paginate works)

(I’ll add to this list as time goes on)

I wanted to see if there were any updates from the 6A team (it’s like an accident on the side of the road)

In any case, I stumbled on this by accident. LOL!

Here is a plugin for wordpress using the latest version of the “show/hide” script (which lets you include other text inline, as well as opens up the doors to use the same function for comments) as seen here here. (Of course that post was written for MT)
