By Austin On March 28, 2009 1 Comment

I received a Swekey in the mail this week. What’s a Swekey you ask?

Like regular keys protect your car and your home against thieves and burglars, the swekey protects your internet accounts against any kind of piracy

Any swekey protected web site will never accept to log you in if your swekey is not plugged into your computer… Read more

So I am going to start off by stating that there is a WordPress plugin to enable this handy little USB

Comment Validation update plus fix

By Austin On March 16, 2009 4 Comments

On this site I use the Comment Validation plugin from Jörn Zaefferer.

You can find out more about this plugin at the WordPress directory.

This plugin is an amazing plugin, but the new version breaks W3C validation. Mostly due to typo’s and small oversights. Lets take a looks at the original comment-validation.php file in version 0.3.

function commentValidation() { echo ' '; echo ''; echo ''; echo ''; } add_action('wp_head', 'commentValidation');

Hey, where you able to tell what need to be fixed? Well lets take a closer look.

On line 15 you’ll see we need to change

Add the twittar plugin for WordPress w/ comment threading

By Austin On February 18, 2009 6 Comments

I talked about the Twittar plugin in a previous post. But learned that the read me text file was only useful for installing the necessary php code into WordPress themes that don’t have comment threading enabled.

Since most new themes past version 2.7, pull the comments section from functions.php file, that is where you have to edit the avatars in order to show the twittar settings.

First open you functions.php, and look for a line of code that says:

function custom_comment()

This is where your new comments are pulled from when you have the threaded comments enabled.

Now just find <?php echo

Plugin Review: WP Greet Box

By Austin On February 8, 2009 1 Comment

Yesterday I found and downloaded the WP Greet Box plugin from Omni Noggin. This plugin could be a very useful tool and keeping visitors from various sites, asking them to subscribe to your RSS feed.

A great feature of this plugin is the ability to allow or disallow a user to remove the banner if they so choose to. Another great example is the different icons and text that show up from where the user come from. For example if this post was to get tweeted by yourself or

By Austin On February 7, 2009 No Comments

There is a really neat plugin named Twitip-ID for WordPress. As you can see, if you have commented on this site I was using this plugin.

While it is still in beta testing I feel that it is a really nice plugin, plus it will automatically put the required field into your comments template without any editing. I choice to to manually input the field for custom css and styling.

This plugin is really awesome and allows for other to employ their Twitter ID for other to follow them, giving a little more incentive

How to: Creating an Archive page

By Austin On January 30, 2009 1 Comment

Many weblog sites these days have some form of an archive page. In WordPress it might be the built in auto generation of permalinks by: /Month/ and /date/.

But in some blog’s, for instance this one here (as I said in a previous post) you can’t get the post to paginate or link to http://youblog.com/page/2 if you have nice permalinks active or http://youblog.com/?paged=2.

By any means, In this theme I have to have an archive link at the bottom. So..
