wordpress upgrade and new features

Hey all just wanted to point out some things.

I have added the subscribe to comments plugin (anyone could tell me if it’s working?), upgraded to wordpress 2.2.1 and I have a new theme which is supposed to be very nice to edit.

weekend update

ok so I have spend some time this weekend on my site.

I have upgraded to wordpress 2.1 which has some nice features. I like the “new” editor, it seems to handle the code/visual switch in a much simple way. Also some people may like the fact that this new version has a spell checker build in. I like the autosafe too, lets see how it works if I leave a post open at work and then go home :)

I have finally finish setting up the wiki and I have decided to go with moinmoin and that was before of two reasons, mediawiki is too complicated too install, and I have a control panel script to run (thanks Remi), although I upgraded it to the latest version. and because it has a GUI editor and some people just can’t stand wiki syntax.

So I have added some default categories so we can have some fun.

  • NickNames, the usual expect the first transcript of there “LowLander” soon.
  • WallOfShame, things that we(or someone else) has done, and we (or someone else) are too a shame of taking credit for them.

In all cases if you add to the end CategoryFoo where Foo is one of the above they will automagically show up in the list. and I suggest although it’s not needed that you add the pages as “child” of the category for example NickNames/Mae. if you think there is another category that will be nice to have please just say so.

PS: the URL for the wiki is left as an exercise to the reader.

Testing igsyntax plugin

ok so I have started looking into a way to post code so I first try this which seems to be the most acceptable.
I try it at the stock buttons post and it looks great (not really just ok) although it still ate all the whitespace, and no it also screws up this

[c]

#include

int main ()
{

printf(”why is it so hard?? it’s just ignore this…”);

return 0;

}

[/c]

and this too
[java]

//file Bla.java

public class Bla

{

public static void main (String args[])

{

System.out.println(”I hate to hit the indent button instead of tab”);

}
}

[/java]

very annoying indeed I’m going to try this other approach maybe having them both active could be a final solution.

and yes it totally ruins my layout

wordpress sucks for code

I’m amazed at all the problems I had with trying to post a simple code in wordpress, wasn’t this made by programmers? didn’t they sit down and said hey lets make it good for people who posts code!

  • To start with your supposed to write a block (please note I had to use entities for that to work),
  • or pop up the raw html thingy.
  • or install a pluging

now that plugings page for “syntax highlighter” at least half the links are broken and from the rest half seem to be from wordpress 1.5.
