Updates to the blog…
June 13th, 2008 Posted in wordpressAs you can see I have made a few changes to the blog… I have acutally typed out this post before but somehow managed to delete it because I’m a mong.
Anyway, the site was overdue many updates, not least the update to Wordpress 2.5 which has many new features, 2.5.1 to be exact which can be downloaded here.
Also added a couple of new plugins, Lightbox 2 which improves the look and handling of images on the site, very easy to setup. As for Flickr integration, historically I’ve been using FAlbum which has done well for years but doesn’t play with the newer versions of Wordpress and I thought I’d have a look to see if there was anything else around that might be a bit more slick. I stumbled upon the Flickr Photo Album by Joe Tan of tan tan noodles. It seems to work well and integrates well into the sidebar with a widget which is the main function I wanted also easy toobar addon to place flickr images in your posts. A little slow on the albums but will see how it goes.
Just need to work on getting my content from the old site back on now and trying to keep on top of it…
