If you checked out the comments on yesterday’s post — WordPress Related Posts in Sidebar — you’d have noticed that the “related” posts code I use was flawed. Namely, it didn’t exclude the post you were on, so the chances were that only 4 out of 5 would be things you hadn’t already read.
Anyway, I [...]

Several of you keep pestering me on how I do my ‘related posts’ thing in the sidebar. You’re nosy buggers, I’ll give you that. Anyway, here comes the confession part: they’re not really “related” posts at all. In fact, the only thing that they each have in common is that they’re in the same category. [...]

A thread at some random forum asking how you make your WordPress links look like “this, this, this” popped up in my tutorialtastic referrers, so I figured I’d post how I do it here.
Firstly, you’ll want to alter the way WordPress displays the links. I do so using the following snippet:
<ul class="inlinelist">
<?php wp_list_bookmarks(’category=##&after=.</li>&title_before=0&title_after=0&categorize=0&title_li’); ?>
</ul>
…where ## [...]

If any of you out there are running the ‘Google Analytics for WordPress’ plugin, and have upgraded to WordPress 2.6, make sure you also upgrade the plugin. Although it doesn’t ask to be upgraded and the upgrade version is the same as the previous, it is changed. For the updated plugin to work, make sure [...]

I’ve upgraded my WordPress this evening, after having waited until my StumbleUpon traffic slowed a bit (yes, still getting hits from them) because I didn’t want to present a bunch of Stumblers with errors if it all went wrong. After doing so, I went on the hunt for a couple of plugins, and have come [...]

You know how I mentioned that I was being spammed by link-droppers on dofollow posts? Well, this was despite running Akismet. It turns out, that on top of *not* picking up the blatant link-dropping, it was falsely listing some of my long-time readers as spam! Fook knows how long that’s been going on, I never [...]

I have been a supporter of the “dofollow” movement since before it became a movement. I’ve talked about its disadvantages before, but none were so apparent as the one that came to light this week.
Digital Point forums is filled with spammers and sploggers trying to make a quick buck. While this is normally harmless enough, [...]

With a multitude of upgrades released every 30 seconds in the WordPress community, it’s integral that a regular back-up is taken just to be on the safe side. Although there are plugins available which do this for you, I’m a cynical old bugger and don’t trust anything or anyone.
Most hosts supply phpMyAdmin. If you [...]

Now that I’m back in WordPress it would be much easier for me to write and release some freebie WordPress themes.
Good idea/bad idea?
Addenendum: I have been playing with the WP-Supercache plugin, which has the unfortunate side effect of breaking the themeswitcher. Although this has been turned off and I’ve emptied the cache, some of [...]

Since converting back to WordPress I’ve been having some difficulties with my site. It’s not the fault of WordPress per se (I just liked the sound of the title) but rather my inefficient system, and my impatience.
In my haste to get the live WP install up and running, I temporarily dropped some of the functionality [...]
