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 …
I’ve released Cleaner Dashboard 1.1, which fixes a bug with the width of the boxes. It turns out that if the text is too long (such as the name of a trackback’s title), the text is all jammed up and hard to read.

You can see it in action on my archives page. It’s the one at the very top. I originally started using it as a viable alternative …
Here at Automattic we’re allllll about sharing source code. #
WordPress.com recently rolled out some very cool tools for posting source code, yet, ironically, considering the first sentence of that post, quoted above, the code hasn’t [yet] been released for WordPress users not on the shared hosting service.
Viper007Bond to the rescue. Once I saw what WordPress.com users were able to use, I grew envious and began to hunt for my own solution. Then Viper posted …
