The CASL Ambassadors web site is actually a collection of WordPress blogs – the main site plus one for each of six age group teams.  When I initially set it up I tried using WordPress-MU but my hosting solution wasn’t capable for MU’s requirements.  Then I tried a plugin called WP-Hive which allows a collection [...]

Today I spent some more time working with the Facebook Connect plugin. It pretty much works as adverized. Using the wp_meta hook I was able to displY the Facebook login status on the Meta widget.

I have been doing some testing with the WordPress Facebook Connect plugin.  There are a couple sites I work with, particularly our swim team web site, MacDolphins.org, where I need users to login and add data to the site.  Each year when we do swim team registration I get lots of questions about how to [...]

I use Flickr to host my photos and I’ve always wanted a better way to present them on WordPress blogs and this weekend I think I found it.  Flickr-Gallery is a great plugin.  It is easy to set up and use and it integrates well with my theme.  It has a nice selection of short [...]

This morning Imade some more progress on the LEGO theme.  It is close to being released.  In fact, I was about to release it when I realized that the two different sized bricks for the page background wasn’t working.  Looks like I had deferred working on that.  The options work fine, they just don’t do [...]

I have been working on a re-write of the Sandbox LEGO WordPress theme.  It is taking a lot longer than I thought it would, mostly because I have made the problem more complicated than I initially thought it would be.
