Finished upgrading my Wordpress to 2.7

Jane — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 08:29:34 +0000

Just got finished upgrading my Wordpress to 2.7 and so far so good I am digging the new admin panel look and I also decided to go ahead and add some plug ins as well on top of the upgrade. one of them being a sitemap generator which does exactly what you think it does.

There were a lot of security fixes since my last upgrade and I am happy no one decided to hack my blog. but one of the main reasons for me not upgrading was all the hassles that came along with it but now the new version 2.7 has a one button push upgrade from the admin panel so no more worries about that any more, thanks goodness.

Women Geeks Theme

Although we wanted to spotlight the current theme we are using it is not the theme we are planning on sticking with but it sure is better then that plain Default blue theme wordpress comes standard with. Right now a few women are busy custom making from scratch a 4 column Wordpress theme that we will make public on the wordpress theme directory soon after we publish it here. We noticed while searching for how to create a wordpress there were no videos we could find on how to make a wordpress theme, so we are working on getting a video made while they work on the current design and once we edit it down a little bit we will upload the how to video to You Tube, Google and Yahoo Video services for everyone out there to watch that wants to learn about how to create a wordpress them from scratch.

New theme and bling coming

We have decided to go back to the original Wordpress theme it came with until we can create our own wordpress theme. At the moment we are in a debate about how the theme should look, the main issue being how many columns there should be and what information should go in each one.

Thanks for all the girls helping out on this project I look forward to seeing what you all come up with for the final design. We are also making a widget of this blog so everyone can keep track of the posts via there desktops and we are designing a logo which we will then turn into buttons and other cool stuff.

Feed Burning Bling

Have signed up the RSS Feed at Feedburner which is the best service in the cyberspace if you ask me for burning your feed. We do plan on offering Podcasts and Videocasts in the future and Feedburner also works with these formats but for now we just are burning text and photos. Which will probably bring me to the next post of whether to use Flickr Slide or Photobucket for the photos. Which ever we choose.

Share this bling

As you can see at the bottom of everyone of our posts now is a Share This icon that will allow anyone to add the post to your favorite reader or email it to a friend. The plug in was made by Alex King and you can download it by going this webpage. Another plug in I did consider but decided to not use was Add To Any which allows you to do the same but since the Share This plug in also allows the user to email the post I choose this one by Alex because it is like two plug ins, in one.

Tinkering

Jane — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 08:12:29 +0000

Have been tinkering around with some ideas on how to make the blog a little bit better. First thing I have chosen to do was add the blog and feed to Technorati. You can check out our Technorati favorties here or click on our Technorati profile in the sidebar. Also the things I have chosen or done in order to bling this blog will be posted, so any other Wordpress users can find out useful tips and tricks for the bling. One of the most important things that is on the list is to make the site mobile friendly and get a QR Code for it. But for now the Technorati is a good start.
