RSS is a wonderful thing. Here’s the URLs for the feeds:
I guess I should be asking you to prefer the FeedBurner URL over the others, as it gives me all sorts of nifty statistics. That would be hypocritical of me though; whenever I grab a feed I cut out the middleman an go straight for the Atom feed (which is standardized and supposedly a big improvement over the mess that is RSS). So, take your pick.
Get rid of the top and bottom default margins on header elements
Theme Change #0: Check to see if “Shaded Grey” is free-license enough for me to edit it. (I think about that sort of thing a lot these days). Hrm, looks like it isn’t; at least it’s not clearly demarcated enough for me to chance it.
Theme Change #0.5: Start working on a custom theme.
Theme Change #1: Get rid of the ugly border that’s the HTML/CSS default on hyperlinked images.
Wordpress is a pretty impressive piece of web software. It’s pretty easy to use and has a lot of nice AJAX-y features. The WYSIWYG post editor is nifty although a little troublesome where it comes to paragraph and headline formatting (it reminds me a lot of Microsoft Word in that regard).
By far the most impressive feature though is the post preview window. Click the image below for some Hofstadtery goodness:
It shows you how your post will appear on your site, using the theme you have installed. That’s a pretty piece of web programming.
I remember doing a “corporate preview” page for my previous company. Basically all we did was recursively call the rendering engine from the target page, regex the hyperlinks into dead underlines, and spit it out. It worked, but it was mighty ugly, and the HTML it generated would make your eyes bleed. Times have changed.
First person whom I don’t already know who asks for a link exchange gets a gold star.
Wordpress’s Meta section has a boastful Validate XHTML link… but if you click it, you’ll find that it fails (Transitional even) with 7 validation errors. Nice.
