I came across this blog header generator via TechWack.com Big Huge Labs is the company behind this header generator which takes an image from either your local machine, Flickr, Photobucket or a linked image and creates a custom header image for you to use on the Kubrick WordPress theme. The generator provides options to align the visible part of the image in case it needs to be cropped. You can also choose whether to add credit to the image or not. Linking to an image I found on a quick Google image search, this is what I was able to come up with. Click on the image to see the full size. Big Huge Labs allows you to edit your result, save the image or share it through links or email. You can also elect to start over if you choose. Although I hate seeing Kubrick being used all over […]

Although the FAQ on WordPress 2.5 did an excellent job of answering a ton of frequently asked questions, users chipped in via their comments and ended up asking even more questions. This post will try to highlight a few of the questions brought up in that post and explain the answers in more detail. Q. Is there a way to see a count on the number of comments you have total? A. I’ve looked around for that particular detail and it has been omitted from WordPress 2.5. However, the good news is that a ticket has already been made (Ticket #6471) According to the change history, it looks like this will be one of those things that will come along with 2.6 and not WordPress 2.5.1. Q. What happens if i don’t upgrade to WP 2.5? A. This is open to opinion but I’ll point out the obvious. If you […]
[Continue Reading...]Vulnerable WordPress Blogs Not Being Indexed: Technorati has decided to not index vulnerable and exploited WordPress blogs. This comes after the recent spat of hacks that were discovered on various high profile blogs and websites. What was even more interesting was the fact that some of these hacks and exploitations might have come from covert and encrypted code hidden in various themes available for free over the web. The moral of this story is that you need to upgrade your WordPress blog now to WordPress 2.5. Just so that everyone is aware, WordPress 2.5 is the latest stable version and this should be the version that everyone should upgrade to. Any older versions leaves you vulnerable. [EDIT] As mentioned on the legacy 2.0 page, WordPress 2.0.11 is the latest stable download with all the latest security fixes for the 2.0 branch. However, WordPress 2.5 is still the latest and the […]
[Continue Reading...]This might be the last WordCamp Dallas 2008 post you see on this blog and since that is the case, better to go out with a bang!

[Continue Reading...]We had talked about introducing something new and exciting and I would like to take this opportunity to introduce Weblog Tools Videos to my readers. It is simply an extension of Weblog Tools Collection and a means for us to have the ability to find, upload, view, peruse and aggregate videos related to WordPress, blogging, tutorials, web design etc. I am really excited about quite a few of the features of Weblog Tools Videos. In addition to the obvious ability to browse through the latest videos and the most popular ones, readers can add videos from various video upload sites, link to videos published elsewhere, upload their own videos and most importantly, record and upload videos from their computers directly from their webcam. There are plans to allow screencast capture and record and post Skype videos and conferences as well. So go ahead and register and start uploading and linking […]
[Continue Reading...]The Ultimate Guide to the WordPress Loop: Ah, the famed WordPress loop that runs it all. Ronald has done a very nice job of identifying global variables in the WordPress loop in the past. Much like that post, this guide is for themers and plugin developers who want the inside scoop with some technical details on how things progress and what each of the pieces of code mean and how they do their job. The release of the fantastic 2.5 Brecker, all of this useful documentation being put together by the community and the tremendous theme designs being released, makes me want to add some fuel to the fire and build up the fever pitch. Stay tuned to this channel for some exciting news.
[Continue Reading...]There are many guides out there (one in particular I won’t dare mention) about upgrading to 2.5, but I was curious how your experience was. I’ve personally upgraded two of my blogs — one manually, and one using Keith’s awesome WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin. In both cases, I ran into no issues aside from a few incompatible plugins (you did check the list, right?). To get the ball rolling, here are several links to some upgrade experiences around the web. My hope is to make this post a resource with a list of upgrade guides and experiences. Please feel free to add your own in the comments below (only one link please). Alex Frison shares with us how to upgrade 2.5 in 5 minutes. Random View shares his experience with upgrading to 2.5. Christer Edwards discusses updating, not one, but multiple blogs to WP 2.5 with no issues. Jeffro2pt0 discusses […]
[Continue Reading...][I did not write this post. It was written with great care and in great detail by MichaelH on the news section and is reproduced verbatim here. For those of you that do not know Michael’s work, his work on the Codex and his help with WordPress and its documentation makes him a legend in my books. Thank you Michael!] These questions and answers were gleaned from the wp-hackers and wp-testers e-mail lists over that last several weeks. Q. How can I find the Post ID or Page ID? A. If your browser shows the URL in the status bar, when you mouse over a link, you can see the ID in the as part of the URL displayed in the browser status bar. In FireFox you can show the status bar by checking the Status bar choice under View. A more complicated method to finding the ID is to use […]
