migrations

I am moving my blog over to josh.legbandt.org
See ya there…

I found a nice little wordpress administration plugin called WP Tiger Administration that give the wordpress administration area a very clean and easy to use look. I love the fact that it looks very Mac-like. Apple has always had the best looking UI (at least IMHO) and this plugin brings the look to wordpress.

I’ve decided to give FeedBurner a try. We’ll see how that goes.
To accomplish this I’ve installed the WordPress FeedBurner Plugin. The plugin install is easy and the plugin seems to just work. Very nice.

changing the darned colors, again…

I’m changing the colors again. Yes, again. I didn’t like the top logo. And I didn’t like the colors.
So, I found a nice color scheme over at Return of Design and I’m using one of their schemes to recolor redkanga.
I’m liking the colors a lot better and I’ve got some more work to do to […]

changed themes…

As I am prone to do, I changed my theme. I wanted something a little cleaner, a little simpler, and that worked. A moved over to K2 theme. I got it working fairly easily. The harder part was making FAlbum work with it. I managed to make it work with only a few changes.
For those […]

.htaccess woes

I noticed that the version of FAlbum had been bumped to 0.6.4  So, I upgraded the plugin at the same time as I upgraded Wordpress from 2.0 to 2.0.1
When I did this, I introduced a problem with the permalink structure. The new permalink code in the .htaccess doesn’t play well with FAlbums pretty url code. […]

Plugin Updates

Well, I just upgraded a couple of my favorite plugins…
I upgraded my anti-spam plugin - Spam Karma 2 to version 2.1 from the 2.1 beta version. Got to keep myself protected from those evil spammers!
I also upgraded my photo gallery plugin - FAlbum from version 0.5.3 to version 0.6.3. Since flickr is where I […]
