Changes

Changes to the blog template, layout, etc.

WordPress upgrade

Bigup to gobi for upgrading WordPress! Now I can use modern plugins and widgets that were previously unsupported. With that being said, expect a nice looking blog, like it was before, as well as more posts since I’m now motivated to write on here. If you use an RSS reader, add my feed, so you don’t have to manually look here periodically for updates.

Theme

In order to upgrade my Tarski theme to the latest version, WordPress needs to be updated. This is scheduled and in the meantime, I’m using the “classic” WordPress theme.

I’ve been casually searching for a method to “push” older blog entries to the top, as if they were new ones.

I haven’t discovered a way until a matter of seconds before I started writing the post-at-hand. I’ve just now started spelling post lowercase. Don’t call me inconsistent unless I go back to P. It’s low tech, like nine eleven:

1. Copy body of original post.
2. Remember the Title. First time I’ve used that word, so let’s get warm with Mr T, because he made it apparent that he needs work.
3. Here’s the novel part. Write new post, with Title from memory, plus an incremented number.
4. Paste body and modify as needed.

I downloaded the plugin here and added out-of-the-way in the footer section, under the Event Calendar.

I had to remove the first space (between < and ?) from “< ?php nr_get_movie(); ?>“ to get it working.

It would be cool if it integrated with Netflix, but I have to manually update it as Netflix movies come in. Note that it doesn’t have anything to do with Netflix specifically. You type the name of the movie and it searches the amazon database for that movie. You also manually update the status of the movie (i.e. Watching, Finished).

I may periodically add movies that I’ve previously watched since subscribing to Netflix.

Multiplayer Games

I added a Multiplayer Games Plugin (link at the top), with 3 games to choose from. I’m interested in getting feedback.

Calendar

The calendar is now at the bottom, out of the way, and letter abbreviations are now full words.

    If this isn’t the cutest shit.

Not on a related note, but while I’m here, I’m considering making some sort of weekly contest to draw readers in (and for fun, of course). Haven’t thought about it very much, suggestions are welcome.

Also, note related, The Stills latest album “Without Feathers” is purdy gewd.
