  • Firefly’s Chat-On-A-Webpage : Try it out

    Firefly’s Chat-On-A-Webpage Goes Live.: Found via GigaOm, Firefly is a cool little Javascript app that sits on tops of your blog or webpage and allows unfettered chatting and interaction ability for visitors. I have enabled it on WeblogToolsCollection for the time being for people to check it out. Enable at the bottom of the page (look for a small bar), click anywhere on the page and chat away! If you want to put it on your own blog, visit firef.ly WARNING: It is addictive in an “Ooo! Shiny!” sort of way. :) [EDIT] Now gone from this blog. Please use the demo on the firef.ly page to test it out. (8)

  • Slickdeals.net Blog on WordPress

    Slickdeals.net Blog: Slickdeals recently started a new “Slickblog” with WordPress. They seem to have put together a pretty seamless integeration between WordPress and their highly complex vBulletin installation and the comments on their blog are redirected to the main forums. I really like their sidebar items, including their hot topics by ratings and up and coming topics by the number of comments. (2)

  • Parent Child Themes

    I didn’t know these existed, but apparently you can assign a child theme to a parent theme. A child theme inherits all the template files of the parent theme except for the style.css file and functions.php, which take precedence over the original. Ian Stewart of Themeshaper.com published a post ( Functions.php WordPress Child Themes ) which goes into detail on how to redesign your blog the smart way basing the work off of a theme framework. I’m still not sure about the usage of parent-child themes so any help you guys/gals could give me would be appreciated. (13)

  • For The Love Of 2.3

    James Dimick, author of the Easy Admin Color Schemes plugin for WordPress has released a color scheme based exclusively on WordPress 2.3. Now, when you install this plugin, the default color scheme selected is called “For the Love of 2.3” which will take the new WordPress and make it look like the old. Something many WordPressers have wanted since the release of 2.5. However, James mentions that:
    It isn’t a completely faithful recreation but I think it’s pretty darn close.

    2.3 Old Style Color Scheme

    The scheme was created purely from CSS with no modifications to the core code. So while you might not be able to make WordPress 2.5 look similar to the way WordPress 2.3 did in terms of the user interface, you can at least slap on old faithful for that nostalgic look. (11)

  • All In One SEO Lives On

    For those of you who may not have heard, it was recently discovered that the popular All In One SEO Plugin for WordPress would be no longer updated or supported past WordPress 2.5.1. The plugin is currently compatible with 2.5.1 but may not work with future versions of WordPress. However, I have managed to get a hold of the plugin author and he informed me that he believes the plugin will not die. He is currently in discussions with a number of other developers to continue maintenance of the plugin. He also expressed interest in the idea of having the plugin integrated into the core of WordPress. *UPDATE* It looks like the plugin has found a new home. A WordPress.org user who goes by the username hallsofmontezuma who is also the plugin author of the WP Security Scan plugin as well as the SMS Text Message plugin has taken over the development of the All In One SEO Plugin. The plugin can now be found on the Semper Fi Web Design website. I want to personally extend a hearty thanks to Uberdose who was the original author of the plugin. You can’t talk about WordPress and SEO without mentioning the All In One SEO Plugin. Thanks for deciding not to stop the project but instead, found a new home for it. I learned about the new plugin author via the Imbloggingthat blog. (36)

  • Create Dynamic Sidebars

    Richard Hooper of WP Project.com has published an interesting post which explains how to create dynamic sidebars. As it stands, there is no way to assign widgets to only appear on specific pages of your WordPress Powered blog in the back end. Using Richard’s method, you can create your own sidebar.php file and assign various widgets or plugins to only show up on specific sections of your blog. This is great if you want to display a widget on a SINGLE post template versus the front page. Richard also adds that
    Aside from creating a dynamic sidebar, this approach breaks up your sidebar code into smaller, more manageable chunks.
    Perhaps we should coax Richard into turning this into a plugin in which normal users can then assign widgets to appear on certain page templates. Here is a question I have. You can use this method to assign plugins/widgets to appear on page templates, but outside of hardcoding those templates, can you manually assign widgets to appear on certain pages without having to place PHP code into the page itself. For example, if I have an about page, and I have a contact page, is there a way to assign a widget to show up on the about page but not the contact page, even though they are both on the same page template. Does that sort of granularity and control exist? (18)

  • If Plugin Deactivation Breaks Your Blog

    Ever deactivate a plugin, only to have it crash your blog? Typically, this will result in a “Fatal error: Call to undefined function.” which is then displayed on the front end of your site. According to John Lamansky, the reason this error occurs is because the theme is still calling on the plugin you deactivated.

    John Lamansky has put together a list of steps that you should perform to alleviate this issue entitled, What To Do If Plugin Deactivation Breaks Your Blog. Typically, deleting the plugin file from your plugin directory usually solves most problems. However, John’s list of steps guides you through the process of determining which bits of code from the failed plugin are causing the errors and then removing those lines of code.

    If you have ever gone through the experience described above, please let us know how you went about fixing the issue.
