WordPress 2.5

Soo, WordPress 2.5 has been released. Upgrade went fine, but I definitely cannot say I like the new admin. The navigation, especially, seems unfinished and not thought through. Oh, and the submit buttons are ugly as hell.

My new excuse of not blogging is so I don’t hurt my eyes straining to decipher the extremely non-contrasting colors in the new admin design. Ugh. I even have to turn down my screen’s brightness so I’m not blinded.

An Influx of Updates

I haven’t written anything since December 15 of last year, so I guess I’ll just post a bunch of small tidbits to make up for it.

  • Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. 2008 feels the same as 2007, so far.
  • My main reason for lack of posting is that I’ve begun playing World of Warcraft. Gotta… level… to… 70… Only 39 more levels to go — this is worse than heroin.
  • IPv6 may not [be a …

Please Excuse the Mess

Right now, if this website were a building, it would have scaffolding around it and be marked off limits. Which means that [yet another] redesign is in progress, and while the biggest parts of the design are done, much of it is still broken. Feel free to give any opinions about the design as it progresses.

I tried to find an image of Han Solo from the fourth Star Wars movie, for the whole “sorry about …

Greedy WordPress Rewrite Rules

I’ve just spent the better part of, oh, say, 20 minutes, slamming my head over and over again into the wall that are the WordPress rewrite rules. What I’m struggling with is that WordPress seems to be sweeping up all the requests that aren’t actual files or directories.

More specifically, I’m trying to get an SVN repository set up at /svn. You can view it in a browser and check out the repository, but I kept …

WordPress 2.3

Before the WordPress Development Blog even announced it, I’ve upgraded to the 2.3 branch and everything seems to be going fine. Quite a few new features (a good list is here), and most of my plugins went through 2.3 fine. All except for the Google Sitemaps Generator, but a quick upgrade was all that was needed.

The UTW tag importer went fine, and I guess I’ve got to change some things around on the site to …

robinadr v6.0

While version 5.0 only lasted about two weeks, I’ve finally settled on a design that I like quite a bit.

  • The header photo is from sxc.hu, titled “Speed”.
  • The navigation style was inspired by Stopdesign’s. I’ve always admired Stopdesign — one of the best designs I’ve ever seen. Also, the variance between sections of the site is a very nice touch.
  • The style of the post titles …
