“User Online” Page Created

28. March 2007

I installed a “who’s online” plugin it’s also “widget” enabled so it’s a simple plugin to install, just a case of uploading it to the “plugins” directory on my server and then activating it in the dashboard. This plugin came with a handy feature so that when you click on the “user online” logo at [...]

Here comes the SPAM

27. March 2007

0 Comments

I wondered how long it’d take for me to start receiving SPAM posts in my comments. I’m pretty chuffed as it shows my blog is actually getting hits and I guess is then worth advertising things on so it’s kinda good in a round about way. On the other hand I’m not sure the readers of [...]

The Pursuit of Happiness. (will Smith) I saw this film yesterday, thought that it looked just “ok” from the trailers, and it turned out to be what I thought was a great film. I think that it was a well made film but it was a classic simple story, “rags to riches” but very inspiring all the [...]

Right I have really got into the CSS editing and have got the bug so have stayed working on this blog pretty much all day! Sure enough I have customised my blog completely. In my previous blog I had a “Flash Fade” mod which embeds a image you upload and converts it to a “adobe flash” [...]

Today I added a “how much is my blog worth” logo onto the bottom of my “about me” page. As you can see my current blog value is $2.822.70 apparently. I found the HTML source on the Technorati page all you do is enter your web address and the page creates it for you [...]

Customisation & “HUGE’ER ER” Update lol

Right, after using the Jimisola â€œFreshy 1.0â€ updated theme for a few hours and taking a serious look at the CSS I decided to compare it to other themes, it was pretty complex. So even this late into the module I decided to go for a total theme change, possibly risky, but I wanted to [...]

I have compiled more and more 1st hand research and have decided in my head a theme for the site, I have not looked at it for a while as I had a “SPEED” presentation for a course I wanted to get onto at the university and I created a video for that, fortunately as [...]

Huge Update

Ok, so I was really getting into the “Freshy 1.0″ theme I was using before and started to edit the CSS, I was using the CSS to try to edit the fonts mainly because if you read through my previous posts you’ll see that the Events Calendar V2, which I was very impressed by wasn’t [...]

Footer Re-edit

25. March 2007

I spent a while at university the other day editing my footer only to then get home, edit the .CSS and then have to change it back before I got out of my depth with editing my theme. Unfortunately I lost my funky new footer. Not to worry, practice makes perfect, I’ll do it again now, [...]

You may have noticed over the past couple of days my blog has been taking AGES to load, that was due to when I did loads and loads of editing to my blog at university the screen shots I took of some of the plugins I saved in MS Paint. This was all well and [...]
