WordPress Hack

I found a really interesting article at A List Apart dot com about dynamic stylsheet changes using a simple javascript and storing the information as a cookie. I was really itching to try it out with all the talk in the WordPress Forums about retro stylesheets for WordPress. Check out the switcher at http://dinki.mine.nu/weblog/ On the top right hand side of the menu you will see the themes I have installed for my version of WordPress, albeit with a few modifications to suit my second menu column. Feel free to play around and see which one you like best. If you would like to implement this on your site ( no matter which CMS you use, this will work for you ) simply visit the List Apart link above, download the javascript and follow the instructions. If you are confused, feel free to email me and I will try to […]

I found a couple of places that host scripts for an Amazon Wishlist Display. There is Kalsey.com Amazon Wishlist display which puts out a text list of all Amazon products in your wishlist. Here is a quick rundown of the idea from Kalsey MTAmazon is often used to insert a person’s wishlist into their page. If you don’t want to go to the trouble of installing MTAmazon to display your wishlist, or if you don’t use MT, here’s simple way to put your wishlist on any web page. Go to Kalsey.com for instruction on how to impliment it. The second script I found is from EDazzle AmazonBox This wishlist outputs pictures of the items on your list and is extremely configurable with lots of CSS tags to help integrate it into your site.

CMS

Drupal is a Content Management System which integerates a bunch of interesting features. I consider it to be a very useful tool for websites which cater to a lot of changing content and cater to a large and active userbase. The new version has some major improvements including changes to the original database. The list of features include Collaborative Book Friendly URL’s Modules Online help Open source Personalization Role based permission Searching Recently Modified List User management User authentication Polls Templating Threaded comments Version control Blogger API support Content syndication News aggregator Permalinks Platforms supported: Apache or IIS, Unix / Linux / BSD / Solaris / Windows / Mac OS X Database independence Multi-language Analysis, Tracking and Statistics Logging and Reporting Web based administration Discussion forums Caching If this long list of features makes any sense to you, go to Drupal.org and download 4.3.0 Release Candidate of Drupal.

Weblog Add-Ons

I knew that Blogrolling.com gets its “recently updated blogs” information from both blo.gs and weblogs.com, but I was recently having some problems with my site showing up on the updated list, but not updated on Blogrolls. I took a closer look at the problem (the links matched exactly) and found nothing of suspicion. So I decided to fix the problem by pinging Blogrolling.com directly through b2/Wordpress. Here is what I did: 1) In your b2-include folder, find b2function.php and add this code somewhere within the php tags, preferably after the weblogs.com ping. (Yes, the code is very similar to the other pingers with just a few changes) // pings Blogrolling.com function pingBlogRolling($blog_ID = 1) { // original function by Dries Buytaert for Drupal global $use_weblogsping, $blogname,$siteurl,$blogfilename; if ((!(($blogname==”my weblog”) && ($siteurl==”http://example.com”) && ($blogfilename==”b2.php”))) && (!preg_match(“/localhost\//”,$siteurl)) && ($use_weblogsping)) { $client = new xmlrpc_client(“/pinger/”, “rpc.blogrolling.com”, 80); $message = new xmlrpcmsg(“weblogUpdates.ping”, array(new xmlrpcval($blogname), […]
