Since version 2.9.2, the post thumbnail feature has been supported by WordPress.
A couple of days ago I was working on a front page layout that has rows of post thumbnails in three columns. Clicking on the thumbnail takes you to the full post for the page.
WordPress 3.0 has multiuser capability. What this means is that you can set up a network of sites with a single WordPress installation.
While 3.0 is multiuser capable a couple of files need to be edited and some settings checked in order for the network to actually be available.
You should know how to use ftp and use a text editor to follow these instructions. I also recommend backing up the files that you are going to edit before making any changes to them.
Happy holiday weekend in the US. Hopefully you are celebrating labor day by not doing any labor or not being in labor (thanks Ari). School starts here next week – Alex is looking forward to it but I’m not. I haven’t had to set my alarm in almost a month.
This week I have zombies, WordPress, carrots, Deathspank and more.
Enjoy!
Like all of us, I get a lot of emails. I try to answer them all even though general inquiries don’t get answered very fast.
Sometimes, however, an email question gives me an idea for a post – like this one.
I was asked if it was possible to send updates to Facebook fans based on their location. Since I am unable to store a lot of new information in my brain anymore, I tested it out and determined that, yes, it can be done.
So, here’s how to do it.
As many of you know I was on vacation in Vermont the last couple of weeks. It really wasn’t all that different than my visit last year where I spent a lot of time at the lake and went to the county fair. I’ve been back for a couple of days and have been trying to get back to work and get caught up on emails but “real” life has been getting in the way.
When I first returned in was late in the evening. I organized our stuff, got Alex cleaned up and into bed and was then going to sort some email, take a shower and go to bed. I discovered, however, that my internet was out. And I had no idea if it had just happened or if it had been out for days. After having spotty internet access while away, I wasn’t mentally prepared to not have it at home. I spent way too much time on the phone with Verizon who ultimately determined they needed to send out a technician. Fortunately, they had an opening the next day but gave me the between 8am-6pm appointment. I was hoping it was on the early side because I really needed to buy food and do other errands. When in Iceland, you have to visit the Iceland hot pots. It’s a must, really. What better way to experience Icelandic culture than to do as the locals do and take a dip in a hot, steaming bath? There are so many spotted around the island, there is no excuse for anyone to miss out. So pack your bathing suit and towel- maybe some sandals- and let’s get this party started!
