WordPress makes it very easy to load Scripts into your blog. The beauty of the method that WordPress provides is that it allows plugins and themes to use the same script at the same time by ensuring the script is loaded only once.

So, another security fix comes out for WordPress…2.8.6 this time. And I begin making the rounds to my sites upgrading. This is now a ritual for me since some kind hacker hacked me with the 2.7 hidden admin user exploit. Everything is going smooth…I’ve done 3 sites, when I get to a new site I’m working on, and it will not automatically upgrade for anything. (more…)

It shouldn’t be this hard!! Here is a quick function for getting the Category ID for a WordPress Category Page. Once you get the Category ID, a world of possbilities opens up. You can get the category object and all the info you need related to that Cat. I can’t believe how hard it was to find this on Google. Ultimately, I had to piece together a couple of different posts to get to this since they weren’t quite right.

Even as I sit here trying to fix a thorny problem with PhotoSmash, I popped by the plugin’s page and noticed that it had turned 1,000 downloads on the nose. Let’s hope the next 1,000 downloads have it a bit easier. PhotoSmash is a WordPress photo gallery plugin lets you let your visitors upload images into galleries right inside your posts. It’s sort of a unique feature amongst galleries today, but I’m sure there will be some other excellent implementations on the same theme down the road. Anyway, thanks to all you who’ve tried PhotoSmash. You’re helping me make it better.

The first time I wrote a WordPress plugin, I thought, “Cool, I’m going to host this puppy on the WordPress website and I’ll get tons of traffic.” Then I got to the front door and they started talking about SVN. Then I took a look at what SVN (aka Subversion) was all about, and that was the end of that. But then, I wrote a more serious plugin, PhotoSmash Galleries, which lets your users upload photos to galleries on your blog, that you can moderate later. And I knew I had to climb the learning curve and get PhotoSmash hosted.

Sometimes my Googling skills are not what they ought to be. I searched high and low for a code formatter for this blog, but for some reason I couldn’t come up with the search terms. Seriously, in the real world, only a demented nerd would drool over the code presentation on other people’s blogs…but there I was, and my code looked like utter malarkey by comparison. (more…)
