Plugin
PodPress plugin installed
Tonight I have installed the PodPress Plugin (Version 8.2). This will now allow me to upload audio and visual files and be able to play them. Installation easy – straight into plugins directory and activate. The only thing I did do was change the default colours to match in with the theme I’m using. Here [...]
WP-DB-Backup Plugin
I have now installed the WP-DB-Backup Plugin (Version 2.1.2) from Filosofo. Installed in the regular directory and activated. Now accessed via Manage > Backup.
WP Plugins Tracker
Also installed this plugin – WordPress Plugins Tracker (Version 0.2), which immediately helped to show me that some of the plugins I am using are not the latest versions available.
Admin Drop Down Menu Plugin
I have just installed a new plugin – Admin Drop Down Menu Version 2.2.1 from Yellow Swordfish. I have been using Planet Ozh’s plugin, but was finding that some of the menu had two many items, forcing them onto a new line, and making things look a bit untidy. I came across this new one, [...]
New Contact Me Plugin
I really didn’t like the look of my old Contact Me page, so I looked for a different plugin. I found intouch (version 1.2), which I think I had actually used on the school’s intranet page – I don’t know why I didn’t just use that one in the first place
I had to [...]
FeedBurner “FeedSmith” Plugin
I have now signed up to FeedBurner and installed their FeedSmith WordPress Plugin (Version 2.2). The plugin was originally created by Steve Smith. Installation was easy enough, dropped into Plugins directory and activated it. Set the feed addresses from FeedBurner.
It now means that all my feeds will be directed through FeedBurner, which should give me [...]
WordPress Avatar Plugin
Thanks to Ozh for his WordPress Avatar Plugin (Version 1.1) which I just installed.
I edited the location of the default gravatar image in the wp_ozh_avatarpopup.php file, then uploaded it to the Plugins directory and activated it.
Basically, these are the options available (minus the spaces!!), check Ozh’s page for examples:
EDIT (27/7/07): I have deleted this – [...]
Some Comment Styling
This post is simply to do some Comment Styling of the theme and be able to test it.
Things I’d like to get right are:
Gravatars displayed at full size (80px x 80px), preferably on left hand side
Gravatars displayed in line, ie not indented further into the page as more and more comments are added [...]
Subscribe to Comments
I have now just added the ability for readers to subscribe to comments made after they’ve added a comment – this will help readers keep up with what’s being discussed on the site. To achieve this functionality, I am using the Subscribe to Comments Plugin (Version 2.1).
Installation involved uploading the file to plugins directory and [...]
WordPress phpMyAdmin Plugin
I’ve just added the WordPress phpMyAdmin Plugin (Version 2.8.2).
I think this will help me to manage the database that holds all the information on this site.
Installed into plugins directory and activated. Then go to Manage…phpMyAdmin to do important stuff.
EDIT (24/6/07): I have just upgraded the site, and decided that this plugin wasn’t [...]
