Released a new version of Search Everything for wordpress tonight. I’m still having issues with filtering out post ids and adding UTW support, maybe next week. I still need to widgetize my themes and release not only my last (brown) theme but fix this one up for release too. Damn, I have a lot to do and I’m wasting it on SE3. At least I’m doing what I want instead of fulfilling my promises. [Link] (0)
I’ve been a big supporter of Brian’s Latest Comments for some time now but the last time it was updated was probably around the time that I started using it. I ended up doing a simple search and found this great plugin, Get Recent Comments.
The features of GRC are long and filled with some great options. One that made me change was the gravatar support. Others include the full widget support, allowing or not allowing grouping and full formatting control.

If you haven’t noticed my site has dramatically transformed overnight to a “light” theme. The core of it is based off of IAMWW D2, which I had to heavily restructure and stylize to get what I wanted. Heavy props to the author because I was about to write my own sandbox theme with about the same layout and look. And even though I want to do a lot more here it is…
I want to post a more in depth about why I…
Well the wait is over for me. I talked myself into buying an iPod last night after toying around with it for just a few minutes and my experience with it for 20 minutes today at the mall solidified my decision.
 Yes, the iPhone does do what many other phones do already. That’s clear but it’s the how that counts. The simplicity may be a drawback for some (or at least one I know) but like the BlackBerry OS it’s almost…
How to create you’re own Google Talk button without using the Google script.
Originally Google gives site owners this code:
<script src='http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/button'></script>
It’s easy to use but I prefer the below code in order to create an inline style for a Wordpress Widget.
<img
style=”cursor:pointer;cursor:hand;” src=”http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/popout-gadgetbutton.png”
onClick=”open(’http://talkgadget.google.com/talkgadget/popout’,
‘_blank’,'width=300,height=445,toolbar=0,status=0,menubar=0,location=0,
resizable=1,scrollbars=0′)”>
I’ve already stated I’m having some issues with the widget system since SBM had so many options and was so much easier to use. One of the items of frustration was the conditional tags that it applied to widgets automatically. Well now I’m going to have to apply these tags to the plugins manually.
Example:
<?php
if (is_home())
{
get_flickrRSS();
}
?>
get_flickrRSS(); is the plugin call.
Another problem, if your plugins aren’t widgetized then what do you do? I had to use this plugin(execphp).

One of the many things I’m not fond of in the newly released widgetized wordpress 2.2 is the RSS widget styling.
For those who don’t like the RSS icons, especially if you have a dark theme you can use this CSS to hide them.
.rsswidget img {
display: none;
}
I ended up using this:
.rsswidget img {
float: right;
}
And then replacing the rss icon the wordpress team included since the included image corners are white.
Actually, it looks like I’m going to have to write my own…
WP forcing me to use it’s own widget system instead of my own. Bah. #
Not relieving that Wordpress 2.2 included widgets my entire theme is jacked. I had been using a modified version of sidebarmodules with my theme and now I can’t because 2.2 forces me to use “widgets”. I’m pretty frustrated right now since rolling back is pointless and I really don’t want to “fix” my theme right now.
“CSS AJAX Switch is a Wordpress Plugin that allows for CSS switching without any reload. It stores the selection for future visits, incorporates an admin panel for configuration and is widgetized and ready to use.” Easy to install and start using. Wordpress 2.1 required for this first release.
