  • Nanideska Now Available

    After a bit of a delay, Nanideska is now available. I’m calling this a 1.0 release, simply because it works as is… but future development and improvements are planned. Your feedback will help drive future plans for this theme! I’ve purposefully tried to limit the color palette to shades of gray, cyan and lime green.…

  • WP Theme: Grape Mint

    Another new WordPress theme from Patrick: Grape Mint.

  • Making WordPress work for me

    The wide variety of plugins available for WordPress is what sold me on the application. If WordPress doesn’t do something you’d expect it to do, there’s probably a plugin available to fill the void. On my site, I use several plugins to keep things running smoothly or to add functionality not present in a core-install…

  • Tags in WordPress 2.3

    WordPress 2.3 introduces a new feature to the popular blog platform: tagging. Sure, you’ve been able to do it with plugins like Ultimate Tag Warrior in the past, but WordPress’ built-in tag system is simple, unobtrusive, and easy to use. In order to get tags to display on individual posts, we’ll use the_tags. <?php the_tags(‘before’,…

  • WP Theme: Gray Day

    WP Theme: Gray Day. Forgot to mention that Patrick, a friend and coworker, released his first WordPress theme – Gray Day – last week. I really love the use of cyan with the gray in this theme. It’s definitely worth checking out.

  • A Minor Announcement

    I’ve decided to turn my current design into a distributable theme for WordPress. It’ll be available over the weekend after I clean up some of the rough edges. Here are some of the things you can look forward to in the release of Effercio Blue 1.0: Support for WordPress Tags (a new feature in WordPress…

  • WordPress 2.3 Beta1

    So, a new developmental version of WordPress was released last night. Being the sucker that I am, I went ahead and upgraded to WordPress 2.3 Beta1, and to my surprise, everything installed without any problems at all. I haven’t seen a full list of all that’s been changed in this version, but based on my…

  • Separating Trackbacks/Pings from Comments in WordPress

    I was trying to figure out the best way to separate trackbacks/pings from the comments here on the site. I’ve seen a number of tutorials out there, but none seemed to do exactly what I wanted. The code is piece-mealed from a couple of places, but this is how I accomplished it here on the…

  • First Impressions of WordPress 2.2

    I upgraded my site to WordPress 2.2 without any problems this morning. I’m not sure if it’s enough of a difference from 2.1.3 to justify the upgrade for most users, but I’m a sucker for new software. In this release they’ve added support for WordPress Widgets without requiring a plugin. Among other things, the latest…
