Hey, a very interesting plugin for those of you who use WordPress Widgets. It is called Widget Logic, and what it allows you to do is specify where your widgets will show up. I was considering using Widgets instead of HTML’ing the sidebar stuff everytime I change a theme, but, if you notice, there is […]

No, I have not upgraded to 2.6 yet. 2.5.1 is working fine, but, a little hint regarding 2.6. If you upgrade, and cannot log in to the admin panel, and are getting a message that says “please log in again,” go to your actual webpage, and log out of it. Then, go and try and […]

Yes, new plugins, yea, yea! The first one is TTC WordPress Security Tool. This one “blocks cross-site script attempts, ip numbers of ill behaved people and bots and bans bad user agents.” You can also manually blacklist IP address. I installed this because neither Akismet nor Bad Behavior can really manually block. Spam Karma 2 […]

Back in November of 2007, I mentioned that someone hacked my htaccess file, and did even worse stuff. Well, it seems that someone has done something similar to my good blog friend Beth at Blue Star Chronicles, as well as a few others, such as A Few Good Pens and Artist By Nature. They have […]

So, you’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.5, and, damnitall! you can’t embed photos while using Internet Explorer. WTF? What did you do wrong? Are you going to have to reinstall the whole damned thing? The answer would be “no.” You can hunt and peck around, particularly in the WordPress.org forums, and you will get a bunch […]

So far, I cannot find any plugin for smilies that works, or at least works like it should, for smilies. The one I am using, Custom Smilies, ends up completely at the bottom of the Write Post/Page. Have tried about 5 others, no dice. But, what you can do with Custom Smilies is to right […]

I finally decided to change my permalinks to more standard types, such as http://www.thepiratescove.us/2008/04/01/retro-pirates-cove-moonbat-underwear/Â versus the old type http://www.thepiratescove.us/?p=5434. Much better for search engines and when linking to other sites. In order to accomplish this and still have all the old links to other sites and throughout the Interwebz, I am using a plugin called Permalinks […]

Yes, another new theme, which, yes, looks remarkably like the last one. The last one was using Zen In Grey, which, while it looked great, I could utterly not get the sidebars to be fixed width within a fluid format, so, when decreasing the screen resolution or the screen width, the right sidebar went down […]

For those who are new to WordPress, and some that aren’t, you might want to go in to the Options module, scroll down to time, and change the “Times in the blog should differ by” back one hour. For instance, in order to match the time during the winter, I had mine set to -5, […]

Just a quick FYI: posting using PDA’s and Crackberry’s does not work correctly, at least if you are using the visual editor. The whole text of the post goes away. Thought it might be Crackberry, but, tried it with my Pantech Duo, lost the whole post except for the title. Sucks, it was a good […]
