Blog Changes: New Themes, New Syntax Plugin, Several Plugins Deactivated

4 February 2010, 3:38 pm  « Viewed 20 times

Since I’m reviving the blog, I decided to give it a good going-over, in terms of theme, plugins and other aesthetics / tools I’m using.
The most notable change: I’ve switched from Fluid Blue to F2, both by SriniG. I really like the straightforward, clean appearance of Srini’s templates; when it comes to Web design, [...]

I’ve done some more hacking of the Sociable social bookmarking plug-in for WordPress and I’d thought I’d share them with others.

Fixing Various Issues With The Sociable Plug-In For WordPress

After a day of fiddling with both, I finally opted for Sociable. Both plug-ins are very good, and each has things it does better than the other. The [...]
