Website Updated to 2.3.2

Neil — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 14:36:56 +0000

After running this website on Wordpress 2.0.1 I’ve finally got round to updating it to the latest version (2.3.2). This means I can now incorporate tags to the posts - and also it includes a few additional security updates (no that I had any problems running 2.0.1).

Whilst doing the update I decided to reorder and tweak the sidebar for the home page. This now also includes any updates I may do via Twitter.

Also, I’ve implemented a plugin called Comment Timeout as I was getting a lot of spam (most being caught by Aksimet) on older posts. To find out more about the plugins imlpemented on the site please visit the About page.

Any comments are more than welcome.

Web2.0* Version 1.7.0 Available

To celebrate the new website I’ve also released the latest version (1.7.0) of the theme.

New Features

Full i18n support - this means that you can create a translation for the theme. Big thanks goes to Christoph Voigt for his hard work in getting this done.
Print Stylesheet - the theme will now render in an easy to read format when any of the pages are printed.

As this release is a MAJOR RELEASE if you are planning on upgrading then please make note of any custom changes you have made to any of the files before updating.

Web2.0* Theme Gets It’s Own Website

Hi all,

I’ve now got a domain and Wordpress installation up and running for the Web2.0* Wordpress Theme. There’s still a lot of work required on it to get it presentable, but the core areas of the website are available.

Please feel free to have a look.

Cannot Save Hosts File in Vista

Having recently upgraded to Windows Vista to get to grips with IIS7 I opened up the Hosts file to add in a host header for local web development, upon saving it informed me it couldn’t save.

There’s a very simple solution to this:

Click Start
Click All Programs
Click Accessories
Right-click Notepad
Select Run as administrator

Now when you save the hosts file it will allow you to update. If you’re user is not setup as an Administrator you may be asked to enter the administrator password.

Have fun!
