Climb to the Stars >> Musings on a Multiblog WordPress: Some interesting thoughts there and I could add some of my own but I have been waiting for *********’s proof of concept to surface. I personally believe that rather than trying to re-engineer an existing wordpress version, we should encourage authors to try to write for the codebase. Putting together a multiple weblog version of WordPress is not going to be simple by any means and if it HAS to be invented, it should be done one time and done right. My thoughts about the implementation are slightly different from Stephanies’. I believe that a multiple weblog (considering the number of blogs hosted can rise to the thousands) should use caching.

Following up on an old article form Jesse Ruderman I wanted to have a way from within WordPress to validate XHTML through the Quicktags buttons. I rewrote the “Bloggidate” set of hacks to work from within WordPress. So this will let you validate the content of your post before you actually post it to the blog to ensure things do not ever break in terms of validation.

You can download the instructions from here: http://weblogtoolscollection.com/b2-img/validatexhtml.txt PS: Tested and working in both FF and IE Again, much of the code comes from Jesse Ruderman, so thanks go out to him.

[daily dose of imagery] bicycle and bricks: Incredible flash magnifier. I wonder if I can code this as an auto generated flash in Pictorialis as an added option.
