I have decided I want to create a theme that integrates with bbpress, why I’m not entirely sure as dont have a real need for a forum here. Anyway I started with a web template from Solucija called Website Traffic. I have a slight problem at the moment in that i know there is an issue with the Category images in IE, however dont have IE on my laptop a it has working Browsers on it instead (handbags). Read more…

At the beginning of the week I started to create my own wordpress theme using the blueprint framework. Towards the end of this week, that theme is on its second version and has had a complete rewrite from scratch. The whole process has made me love Wordpress even more than I did, and now with blueprint all “FFS! its broken in IE again” woes have gone Read more…
I have been playing with the wordpress templates or sometime, and have created several from scratch, with varying levels of success. I created this one with the blueprint css framework, last one i did with 960.gs. This seems to be working much better.

Thought I’d post re how I got the Google talk status thingy working on the side bar. This was stupidly simple ( after excessive googling that is ). Its easy because of a guy called Nathan Fritz has written a jabber bot called Edgar. The bot adds its self to your Googletalk contacts list, ( this is so it has visibility of your status ) then you can query the PHP status script at the Edgar site.
i.e. for my side bar I have just added the code ( can you call it code ? ) below :
<li>Someone<b><?php readfile(“http://edgar.netflint.net/status.php?
jid=someemail@gmail.com/talk&type=text”); ?></b></li>
Hunting About I found this plugin w2mstatus which allows my to show my MSN status in the side bar over ther.? After installing it I couldn’t get the images to change depending on my status, so after a little bit of fiddling I managed to hack it right. I also added the line for you personal message too, which is cool!
