I’ve been doing some more additions / playing around with things in Wordpress over the last couple of days, and I’ve got a few things I thought I’d let you know about.
First of all, I love Wordpress 2.6. While it took some configuring when I upgraded, everything’s running smoothly, and the new administrative page is really nice. I’m really digging the new AJAX control panel.
Secondly, I’ve added gravatars to the comments. If you don’t already have an account, you can go sign up at en.gravatar.com. You can upload your own image, or choose from theirs, and get your own avatar at blogs all over the net. Anywhere that uses gravatar avatars will pull your personal avatar without you having to do anything at all, just use the same email address in filling out the comment form as your Gravatar account. It’s not a core feature, by any means, but it’s certainly a lot of fun.
I hope you enjoy the new domain, the new version of Wordpress, and the new Gravatar feature.
After a tough week of school, including midterms, papers, a conference, and a million other things, I decided to take a break tonight and make a new header and a new color scheme. Rachelskirts didn’t even make me.
I’ve been wanting to do something with greens for a while now, but I always had trouble with it. Here’s the green. Like my last design, there’s a whole lot of it. If you don’t like green, sorry!
Anyways. Thoughts? Comments? Broken things that I need to fix? Let me know!
Per the usual, thanks to Squidfingers for the pattern.
Well, just to start, if you’ll take a look up top, I made a new header tonight. I’d appreciate your comments on it!
Ok, on to the good (well, better. A new header /is/ pretty good news) news. This past Friday, after much hassle with the hospital, I finally got a copy of the radiologists report from the MRI that I had this past Monday (the 24th). They were looking for Syringomyelia (basically, small sacks of retained spinal fluid), and thankfully, they found nothing. That means that while I still have the Chiari Malformation, I don’t have to drop everything this semester and have it fixed right now. I can wait until the semester is over, which takes a huge amount of strain off of me.
I’m probably going to have the surgery come December, but I have one more doctor’s visit to go to October 10, to make sure that the hearing loss isn’t related to anything else.
I had a date and I found out that I can wait on having this surgery. I count it as being a good week.
I’ll continue updating as I know more.
If you can’t tell, it’s ok because I only changed a little thing here or there.
Thanks to (you guessed it) Rachelskirts I’ve finally done something with my blog. Hopefully you all like the new header, background, etc etc.
Maybe, now that I actually like the way my blog looks, I’ll post more often since I won’t be embarrassed for people to see it. . . . We’ll see about that one.
Just a quick note about the RSS feeds.
I upgraded Wordpress today, and I decided to do away with my home page, so now you can get to my blog at http://www.tylerfontaine.com too. What this did was move the RSS feed from tylerfontaine.com/blog/XXXXX to just being from http://www.tylerfontaine.com/?feed=rss2
So please update your readers if you want to keep following me and my rambling incoherence.
Thanks!
Edit: I suck at the internet and saw that if you had subscribed to the old feed that it still works. Go figure.
