There was a small FEATURE in the plugin that didnt allow it to work when php is hosted… Continue reading Updated My Blog To Use An Ebay Plugin
Since upgrading to firefox 3.5, I couldnt login any more to my wordpress (currently 2.7) blog. It was wierd as I couldnt login using firefox 3.5 on my apple running OS-X 10.5 and I couldnt login using firefox 3.5 on Vista. But I could login on my clients machine running firefox 3.5 on Windows XP. What seemed to be the… Continue reading Firefox 3.5 and WordPress – Cant Login
Ok so searched high and low for this and finally found out that it was my theme that I had added which was wrong. Look for feed_rss2.php in wp-includes and look for some code in there, that uses use_excerpt_rss my theme used this whether the rss setting->full (rather than summary) was selected or not in the settings->reading.

I commented out the permalinks section of the if… Continue reading WordPress Search & Permalinks

So I exported my subtext blog to blogml then used this very nice blog article to import it into wordpress. I did what the chap says… Continue reading Moved from SubText to WordPress
Right I have fixed the view picture size problem in subtext as it was really bugging me. I have removed the width and height settings so that it either defaults to the size of the picture, or you can override the settings using css now. The new binaries with the change in are located here http://www.paulfarrow.com/download/dottextpicupdate.zip. You will then need… Continue reading Fixed Subtext View Picture Size Problem
After much playing around I decided not use the Wiki at this point. Its very good and I could see a use for it, if and when I start a new project it would be like a living notepad. My initial thoughts were to have the Wiki as the main home page and the blog off of that but what… Continue reading My Wiki and Subtext
