Thumbnail image for WordPress 3.0 is up and running

With all the excitement and hoopla over the introduction of WordPress 3.0, I have to say that I’m somewhat underwhelmed. Sure, I’m only looking at user interface stuff right now, but many of the new features are not supported by Thesis. I’m stoked to learn the MU capabilities though, as we have another site that [...]

Please excuse the appearance

May 8, 2010

Yes, it looks a bit messy here at the moment. I’ve been using BumpyStick to test out the Agentpress child theme for Genesis and my Thesis layout is a bit mixed up. Over the coming days I’ll fix things up a bit and write about my experiences with Genesis.

Time for a break, I’m tired of fighting

March 23, 2010

I’m testing out a few ideas for one of our other projects. I’d like to add in a free classifieds section to host free ads for special interest cars to drive some additional traffic. Given that WordPress is known to be such a powerful CMS tool, I thought there would be a number of classifieds [...]

Killer Plugin: LinkWithin

Thumbnail image for Killer Plugin: LinkWithin

We’ve played around with a few different related posts plugins but all of them seemed a bit boring visually. Then, I stumbled across LinkWithin. The way LinkWithin works is the company crawls your site to capture categories, keywords and the like and then posts a thumbnail image & title beneath each post. You can add [...]

And the winner, for our purposes is…..ThinkTwit It is the only Twitter plugin I was able to find that A. allows the use of multiple Twitter feeds and B. [...]

Thesis theme in play for real

January 2, 2010

I’m really excited to say that I have installed Thesis on The Garage and modded it to resemble the previous version. I’ve done it. Me. Techno no mind! The more recent versions of WordPress are so user friendly, that when combined with a killer theme like Thesis, even a guy like me can look like [...]

Nuking Easy Adsense plugin

December 27, 2009

The Easy Adsense plugin does not appear to be playing nicely with Thesis, putting ads beside images since the update. I’ve been using the Quick Adsense plugin on another site and it is easy to set up, so I think I’ll switch BS over to that and see how well it works with Thesis.

Feature test

December 27, 2009

Another test of images. The previous one used the standard WP image function, this one is using the Thesis image management. The image is uploaded as you would normally, then you add the image link url to a post image box further down the post editing page. Edit: I must be tired because this makes [...]

The Thesis theme has a bunch of image options, I just wanted to see how it looks with no modification.

WordPress 2.9 and a switch to Thesis 1.6 theme

December 24, 2009

If there are actually any readers out there (I know we have some) you might have noticed that BS had a bit of a bumpy road over the past week. What happened? To put it bluntly, I blew the shit up! To be more technical, I upgraded from WP 2.8.6 to 2.9. While trying out [...]
