Well, I don’t know if ecto can help with YouTube videos showing in my feed, or if I should use WordPress’ custom field for that. Guess not, at least for now: And the WordPress custom field didn’t work for me either, though I know nothing about how to use it. I do know that the automatic enclosure WP used to wrap around media URLs is reportedly not working for some people, though I don’t know much about that either. I suppose this latest version of ecto – 2.3.3 – has some other nifty features that I’ll discover later. All my…

Well, that's 3 units of my life-juice gone, screwing around with stylesheets just to make something look consistent using Firefox AND stupid broken IE6. I hear IE7 is differently broken.

David Davies’ Weblog » Blog Archive » Random banner images in WordPress Hmm. This looks easy enough to figure out… even for me! But David's a whiz at PHP so I'm covered if I mess up.

If the three of you that content yourselves with reading this mess of a blog via a feed reader or something haven't actually visited in a while, you'll be surprised if you click through to look at the place. I got tired of the pretty pretty colors colors colors that I had overlaid on what started out to be a nice clean layout, and switched themes to WP-Andreas01 1.5. It's not as easy to customize as vanilla Tiga was, and having stuck my head under the hood to add my beloved drop shadows to the style sheet, I realized that…

This schema is a marvel of organizational genius! The gauntlet has been thrown down, and soon enough I'll have to post an annotated photo of both my home and work desks. Not today, though.

Bought some new headphones today for use with my iPod Mini; this is now the third set of ‘phones I’ve used, and I hope it’s the last pair I have to buy in a long time. The pair that came with the Mini are the standard iPod “speakerbud” type. I was never crazy about the sound quality, didn’t like how they kind of balanced uneasily in my ears and more often than not fell out, and they broke after only a couple of months’ use. One day, I noticed that one of the wires had kinked, and then it frayed.…

This is just a test post with perks: I get to see if Image Manager by Per Søderlind solves my little problem with IE not being able to show the WordPress image uploader. And it does, so nana-nana-booboo, Mr. Gates. My readers (all seven of you!) get to see my great-niece, Alexa. All snowy and cute. And perky. And it works! The crowd goes wild. Extended geeky navel-gazing follows… I had been somewhat puzzled by the fact that at home, I could upload images via either the WordPress built-in uploader, or via ecto, but I could not upload images while at work.…

Flickr: tantannoodles.com WordPress Flickr Plugins The fix for deleting groups display within the WordPress Photo Album plugin for Flicker is in the linked post.

According to this, the Flickr Album plugin that I had used and then abandoned for a while isn’t working with the latest version of WordPress 2.1, which we’re now running here. I’m hoping there’ll be a fix for the little problem I encountered where the default setting is to pull ALL photos from ALL groups onto the photo gallery page. Also, something to fix the display problem when there are links in the descriptions.

This post is not going to make sense to anyone who doesn’t both have a blog and post photos to Flickr. Several dozen (or hundred, or thousand, or hundred-thousand) people on Flickr are either really ticked off at me, or they know that I’ve been revealed as a completely clueless user of the WordPress plugin, Photo Album. Or both I didn’t configure it right, and through a series of accidents and misunderstandings, people started complaining yesterday in at least two well-traveled and high traffic forums connected to a couple of large photo groups on Flickr. People were yelling for my…
