When I first setup WordPress (many years ago) I immediately turned on permalinks. Having a pretty URL is important. But I did not give it much consideration at the the time and the /year%/%month%/%day%/%postname%/ format seemed quite reasonable. After a short time I realized that a hierarchy nested this deep is way overkill. But by I am using the Atahualpa theme for WordPress. It is just amazing how easy it is to customize anything. My latest adventure in WordPress has been the quest to add social networking buttons. I tried several WordPress plugins, such as Sociable, ShareThis, and AddThis, none of which I really liked. The feature I missed the I found myself in a predicament. I wanted to improve the way code is displayed here and went searching for something with line numbering and syntax highlighting. The SyntaxHighlighter Evolved plugin seemed perfect. I liked it but it really messed with my existing content wrapped in <code> tags. Trying to fix the issue I discovered WordPress has pretty nifty image gallery built right into it. The gallery is activated by using the shortcode. But I am also using the great WP-Slimbox2 Plugin to present images. Unfortunately the gallery shortcode and the lightbox plugin do not work together. Nothing bad happens, it is just that the gallery doesn’t know anything about I installed a new Debian host for my site. It was a perfect time to upgrade to the latest WordPress release and to look at a new theme. I am now using Atahualpa. I have to say it is rather great as pretty much the entire theme is configured via control panel. I do like This is a neat way to format code blocks. Parts cobbled together from various places. It is not longer exactly as used here since I have changed themes. A few evenings and here it is, my new WordPress theme. While I was at it I also integrated the WP-Print 2.00a plugin. Other then that it is just a brand new look. The other day I signed up for the Google AdSense program. No problem integrating the AdSense code into static pages here or there. WordPress was a different matter. I could add code manually in templates but adding it to posts didn’t go over so well. WordPress applied formatting to the AdSense code which broke things. |
