Wed 14th Oct Post

TEST; There is something strange happening with the date published on the previous post – also posted today 14th October 2009 – Lets see what date WordPress puts on THIS post? [wp-cumulus]

Opps – What NOT to do!

SENARIO: Renaming B to lowercase b in the directory structure of this blog

Thought Id be clever – Discovery – Cant do that and simply expect everthing to keep working. (Ie, ALL the links in wordpress, and Esp the Login) both stopped working.

RENAMED APACHE DIRECTORY – uppercase Blog to ALL-lowercase blog -

MAJOR PROBLEM – Cause NOW – I cant login to the Blog -

FIXED – Yes, and putting this little post up as a reminder of what NOT to  do – (When using cPanel domain configuration tools)

UNDO – Must go back now and RE – Fix the grd.net.au/Link.html (Linking back to this blog – YEP – is it now generating a ’404 Not Found error’ – when I click on the BLOG link) – so putting everything BACK the way it was – before I got all clever.

Blog for FREE at WordPress.com

andy Key-Master – AT wordpress.com (spells out the difference between wordpress.org, AND wordpress.com)

You do not control the software or the database; FTP and shell access are not included. WordPress.com is based on multi-user version of the software which does not permit uploading PHP themes or plugins. Javascript and CSS are also restricted for security reasons. What you can do on WordPress.com is blog for free.

Stats

This has become an ongoing battle to make the API key avaialable to THIS blog.

So I have ended up creating another little blog here – http://x888.wordpress.com/

widget support

Making the API key work for different static plugins requires some effort. This post is here to remind me WHERE to go, (AND; Read / Tryout the instructions)  before contacting the support team) – and get some idea of WHAT is required to make this thing work, on more than ONE blog. URL – Widget<<< Support >>>

Opps – Thats the WRONG link (Its is related – BUT not the link I wanted) The link for the API keys that I am referring to is HERE

Configure – SidePosts

Widget – ‘SidePosts’

DESCRIPTION: Have a mini-blog on the sidebar

MINI-BLOG; Side effect of installing this widget – it takes posts (In the Category Choosen)  that would normally appear at the top of the blog as all new posts have done in the past, .. AND – places them in the ‘SideBar’. (Which means that it no longer will appear at the top of the blog – which is understandable)

AUTOMATTIC – Widgetizing Plugins

One thing leads to another; – Just investingating http://www.worldtimeserver.com/clocks/ – and then somehow, I end up reading about wordpress wigdets and stuff – (Maybe because these are the t0ols that allow me to do stuff quickly and easily), anyway – here is a link to one of sites that provide insight to the underlying code, connected with wordpress.

AUTOMATTIC – Widgetizing Plugins + This page contains technical instructions on porting a plugin to use in the widget system.
