Plugged In

Filed under: — Bob Gentry @ 7:10 pm

I’d like to send out a thanks to Brian Groce for helping me out on getting this mailing list to work as well as a few other little plug-in puzzles that I would have never been able to solve alone.

Now…everything seems to be working DANDY! It did take me a couple days to get things transferred over[I'm slow]… it was as if I had a crash course in PHP…and in the end, I decided to cheat from someone else’s test :)

I know there’s quite a bit of white in my template I’m using, and I’ve had a few emails from people saying they miss the stagnant photo up in the left corner on the old blog…but with the category section over to the right sidebar, I figure if someone really wants to see pictures of me they can just click on that. Besides…I’m no stranger to posting pictures of myself. Who knows…..I’ll probably change things around later but for now…everything’s working…and that’s the main concern.

I really like the info counter up at the top…I remember 1st seeing that little feature on Chris vs. Chris and drooling over it.

Well…I just wanted to jot down a little something now that it seems like all the bugs are fixed. Happy Friday!

Hi LON,
the plug in for the email notification v. 2.2 can be downloaded here: http://watershedstudio.com/portfolio/software/wp-email-notification.html
I was slow at getting it working properly but for those who know WP well, i bet it’s a wiz to get together.

The stats thing i’ve seen all over..there’s a few different types that count words written..etc.. neat toys

Yeah…that counter alone was made me want to jump off the blogger.com ship ;)
perhaps one of these days i’ll figure out how PHP works …i’m still trying to learn Flash…my brain feels like a sponge :-\

Love the new look to your blog, Bob. I need to update the link in my blog though. I’ll get to it sometime tonight.

Thanks for the kind word :) It’s so white you might need sunglasses to look at though –but the whistles and bells are fun ;)
thanks for the update!

Hmm…well…i suppose i can’t please everyone.
One whistle is that you can comment…another bell is that every entry is set into “Categories”…daily hit couter…do i really need to list ‘em all? Built in mailing list rather than having to go through another company…
Sorry that you don’t like change or the new look.
