Its still being touched up but its totally doped! Its a shame half of the features nobody will ever see or notice. haha.. Its really meant for me. Time for some link love.

Things you will see

  1. Ginormous image support thanks to wp-imagefit
  2. Bible verses thanks to ESV plugin
  3. Tooltips thanks to tippy
  4. Twitter updates thanks to twitter tools
  5. Latest Comments thanks to Brian’s Latest Comments

Things you won’t see/notice

  1. Easy Flickr photo insertion thanks to Flickr Manager
  2. Spam Free thanks to Akismet
  3. Convenient admin navigation thanks to ozh
  4. Backend kept in order by gamerz
  5. Easy edit, admin and login/logout links
  6. Easy aside posting thanks to the Prologue theme
  7. Theme is xhtml & css valid (its a first for me!)

Well, its so nice and decent that I’ll be sharing it with my brother cos we do exactly the same things with our blog. Almost.. just waiting for that elusive iphone admin interface to get working with WordPress 2.5. I think I have just a little bit of details here and there such as his header and the colour scheme to take care of. Total time spent.. hmm… 10-15hours spread over a few days? Thats like really fast man. I guess its because its very low on graphics and I didn’t have to mess around with the CSS alot. I paid attention to web standards, typography, shades and author useability more than anything this time. I really like it! Don’t foresee it changing much in the near future. Think my skillz are not yet madz.. but it is getting there. My design still needs tons of improvement.

Heh.. Turns out the theme wasn’t messing up the posting, it was an errant plugin still living in the pre 2.3 era with some database calls that don’t agree with wp2.3. I shall redesign when I am free.. just as an exercise.

It wasn’t too hard, I shall make a franken-plugin when I can merge both (inline-ajax-comments, brian’s threaded comments) seamlessly.. they work so well together! Only thing annoying is that I cannot get it to redirect to the comment page properly! rah!!!! Prob some noob problems I’m getting. I’m so going to make this plugin and release it when I’m done with the exams..

Of course, if you decide to add a comment you still have to go to the post’s page in question..

This is all made possible by Inline Ajax Comments
