keeping it simple

Monday, February 9th, 2009

I’ve decided to experiment with a dead simple greyscale 3-column theme. I’ve decided I’m not ready for colour, and it’s pretty dull weather outside anyway. For now I’m focusing on getting the CSS and layout right. I’m planning on developing this into a very customisable, yet straight forward Wordpress theme to give away. Hope you like.

Bright Kite for Wordpress

Monday, October 27th, 2008

I couldn’t find a plugin, and thought it would be very web 2.0 to have my current location on my blog, so decided to write a plugin. Turns out it’s much easier than I anticipated, location is pulled from the published XML and stuck into a static Google map. Easy.

Seeing as it was so straight forward, I went the extra step further and made it customisable from the plugin admin section. If it’s of any interest to anyone, here it is:

Update: The plugin has been approved by Wordpress. Success.

Update: I’ve made some changes, the plugin should now be compatible with PHP4 (in theory) and locations can now be cached. If it didn’t work before, please try again.
