Owen — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 11:49:53 +0000

The following is a list of the add-ons that I use in my browser. I know that, strictly speaking, this is not to do with the development of this site, but indirectly it is.

I spent two or three hours this morning turning my comments into pop-ups. This is not the first time I have tried. It is the first time that I have succeeded. Related posts:

Images: formats and styles

Owen — Thu, 24 May 2007 08:31:01 +0000

In May 2007 I changed the formatting for images to fit in with what I am calling version five of the site. More accurately, I finally standardised the formatting and made it fit the new, improved design logic. I also added a couple of styles that can be added to graphics, including a style for captions.

WordPress 2.1.1

Owen — Tue, 27 Feb 2007 20:32:45 +0000

I upgraded about fifteen minutes ago, and all seems to be well. The upgrade is primarily concerned with bugfixes, and it seems to have fixed the bugs I had noted previously. Related posts:

WordPress 2.1 : changes in the core files

Owen — Thu, 08 Feb 2007 08:50:36 +0000

There is a problem with WordPress 2.1, in that it refuses to allow div tags in the body of the post. It replaces them with paragraph tags. Related posts:

Wordpress version finally (sort of) online

Owen — Fri, 03 Nov 2006 20:45:28 +0000

It has taken me a lot longer than I planned to get a version of my personal infohub thingy online in a version powered by WordPress. This is not because WordPress is difficult to work with, but rather the opposite. There are so many plug-ins and options that I have been some time deciding what paths would be best to walk down.
