  • Theme update and a mad dash to fix broken stuff

    So Museum Core was pushed live to the WordPress.org repo today. Of course I immediately switched my blog from the Twenty Fourteen theme I was testing to Core because, you know, it’s my freaking theme. And immediately I ran into some issues. If you are using Core and experience any of these, here are the fixes.…

  • Nginx config with WordPress multisite on DreamHost

    Probably I should post this on the DreamHost wiki BUT I wanted to throw this out that I figured out a solution to an issue I was having on WordPress multisite since migrating to nginx… The problem The issue is that, while permalinks were working as expected, images were all broken, particularly when you were on…

  • There I go again…

    So, today the WordPress 3.8 Admin Help team met up in #wordpress-sfd — a fact that I would have forgotten entirely about had I not been at my computer coding at the time . Siobhan and one other made the meeting. That was fine. You may recall I mentioned something a while ago about getting involved…

  • What I’m working on: building a plugin for book reviews

    What I’m working on: building a plugin for book reviews

    Last year, I met with some of the peeps from the Open Classroom‘s School Library (and Library Committee) to come up with ideas for how the Open Classroom website could better serve them.

  • Twenty Fourteen

    Twenty Fourteen

    This year, I’ve made it a goal to get more involved in WordPress.

And, okay, there’s an ulterior motive at work — 3.8 is the release that Matt is leading. So I…

  • WordPress, Genericons, Jetpack and you

    Here’s something I learned the hard way today. If you are using Genericons in your WordPress theme, and you’re enqueueing it like this: wp_register_style(‘genericons’,get_template_directory_uri().’/genericons/genericons.css’,false,$theme[‘Version’]); wp_enqueue_style( ‘genericons’ ); …you’re going to run into problems if Jetpack is enabled, because Jetpack uses the same method. Normally this wouldn’t be that much of an issue, but their version of…

  • WordCamp San Francisco 2013

    This year I went to WordCamp San Francisco. I didn’t take any pictures, but here’s one found on the WP Armchair stream where you can sort of make out my bald head. You can tell it’s me ’cause the water bottle. This isn’t going to be an exhaustive post. I’m glad I went but (and…
