I wanted to be able to display my most recent photos and videos in WordPress 2.5 for my new theme. I found that photos were easily taken care of by several plugins (I went with tan tan noodles Flickr plugin).
Videos, I’m afraid, were not so easy. Read the rest of this entry »

XHTML 1.0 Transitional Compliant

Not too bad. I ran my new theme from last night through the W3C Validator quickly this afternoon and there were only 28 errors initially. I forgot a few required attribute elements to some of my tags and had an extra unused unordered list tag set. Other than that I merely had to use some htmlentities tags around my titles and alt attributes and my 28 errors are now down to zero.
Woot for being XHTML 1.0 Transitional with a WordPress site!

I need to put a good face forward and since my blog is the first thing that comes up when you Google my name, I decided to put in an all-nighter and get business taken care of.
So thusly, welcome to my new theme for StevenHaddox.com. Read the rest of this entry »
Finally - A Dedicated Server

It’s been a long time coming, and I knew I couldn’t hold out for forever, but I finally broke down and got myself a decent dedicated server. I’ve done shared VPS and I’ve even done some good ol’ fashion home server management for the past year, but I came across a dedicated server deal I couldn’t resist and took the plunge. Look for (hopefully) better performance and page rendering out of my blog now that I’ve increased caching capabilities and minimized server overhead. Here’s some figures to compare my previous server (Mac Mini on my home network) to the new server (dedicated HiVelocity Server).
