IntenseDebate: A commenting system that rocks!
A little while back, I heard the news that Automattic, the folks who develop WordPress, acquired a couple of new services.  One of these is called IntenseDebate, a dynamic commenting system that’s compatible with several different blogging platforms.  Initially, I’d installed it on Reclaimer as a test drive but pretty quickly [...]

ComicPress 2.5 and ComicPress Manager

It is through the efforts of two gentlemen that the existence of Reclaimer is possible.  The first is Tyler Martin, who has created the beautifully designed ComicPress theme.  Tyler’s design makes it eminently easier to produce a regular comic using the powerful WordPress platform.  I’ve long been a fan of WordPress, and I’ve wanted to [...]

Reclaimer Redesign

Reclaimer Redesign

Over the weekend, I spent some time with Photoshop, Filezilla, and a couple of my favorite text editors to put together a complete visual redesign on Reclaimer.  I’ve picked up a few new Photoshop tricks in the last few weeks, and I upgraded to the latest ComicPress theme release for Reclaimer, so I figured it [...]

Nearly Hacked

So, apparently my blog underwent a minor attack last night.  I woke up this morning to an email saying that my new blog had been set up at shamuswrites.com.  Now this sent a slight cold chill down my back, since I clearly already have a blog here.  The email gave the typical administrative username, but [...]

Subversioning Up

Well, at long last, I finally figured out the trick to installing Subversion on my server.  As such, I’m working on switching most of my WordPress installations to Subversion in order to make it much easier and faster to upgrade in the future.  I just switched this site to a Subversion-agreeable install, and I’m pretty [...]

Prologue Theme

WordPress and Twitter fans, rejoice!  Now available: Prologue, a Twitterlike theme for WordPress that’s ideal for groups of 3-15 to post short updates to each other.  Downside: if you don’t have access to SVN, you have to download each theme file separately, since the boys at Automattic neglected to bundle them in a tidy .zip [...]

Bluesands 2.0

With thanks to Rob for pointing me in the right direction, Shamus Writes is now sporting a modified, Web 2.0-ish look.  I contacted Ant Eksiler, who is giving away free custom WordPress themes to folks who meet a certain set of criteria, and he took my Bluesands theme and tweaked it to give it a [...]

Email Comment Notification Issues

I don’t know how many other people who’ve upgraded to WordPress 2.3.1 are having this problem, but I’d noticed that none of my email comment notifications were coming in anymhttp://shamuswrites.com/wp-admin/post-new.php
Writeore.  I sent a note about it to the wp-testers list, and found that the fix is pretty easy. 
Go to wp-includes/pluggable.php and find and remove line [...]

WP-Stats Problems

WP-Stats Problems

I don’t track my blog stats quite as religiously as I did a year ago, so it was a couple of days after I upgraded to WordPress 2.3 before I realized that something very strange was happening with my stats.  I switched to WP-Stats awhile back because it’s lightweight and takes some of the load [...]
