I've been a little absent around here lately, and part of the reason is that I've been working on a project that I can now formally announce here! I'm starting up a little side business. You see, I've always loved doing origami – from the time that I was a kid. I can't even remember [...]

There's a pretty serious security bug with WP 1.2.1 (and the current 1.3 alpha), one that can make it so your blog is basically unusable (not permanently, as far as I can tell) but still – if you're using WordPress you should probably make this change. In any case, here is how you fix the [...]

One of the things Christine had asked me to add to pixelog, was, when no "previous" entry was available – to have the text still show up, but be "greyed out". I remembered a post Alex King had made on the hackers mailing list about capturing the text that some functions typically echo into a [...]

One of the things that drove me to WordPress was the fact that it was PHP based. It leaves the doors wide open for you to do practically any kind of hack you could possibly think of. I recently reworked Pixelog.org for Christine. The original was a table based design, powered by MT. Now it's [...]

I'm kind of surprised I didn't post this already (maybe I did and I just can't find it) – but on another blog, I have drop down comments set so it only does this for the first 'x' number of posts with comments. (Otherwise download times can get a little bogged down if there's a [...]

There may be another way to do this, but I wanted to show the excerpt, but only if I had actually typed something in. Just doing the following, will show part of the post if there's no excerpt (maybe I was doing it wrong?): <?php the_excerpt(); ?> In any case, I use the "excerpt" field [...]

Charlene just mentioned this in the comments of another post, so I thought I'd post how I'm doing it on my pages (or will be doing it – once I finish them all) After the "WordPress Post loop" begins (which starts like this) : <?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?> [...]

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)

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: [...]
