Nothing Stays the Same

The latest stable version of K2 was finally released yesterday! I just finished porting my new layout from a previous nightly that I was messing with on my local server to this stable release that I uploaded here.

It is clean, simple and the favicon featured is Lilith; the little pixel I made last year and based my last birthday cake on! You’re able to see her blink if you are using Firefox as the animated version is displayed. She first made her internet debut on KayC’s “Advertisements” section of her sidebar. Ha, I’m weird like that… Naming my pixel creations, ornaments and whatever else.

I’ve also implemented sIFR 3 for my post and sidebar titles; I’ll probably be changing the font to another, sometime. I’m thinking of converting some free fonts to sIFR 3 font files and making them available for download on this here website. Not everyone has Flash 8 and there are also not many sites offering sIFR 3 font files anyway.

I’m pleased with this… For now that is. I’ll most probably making changes here and there, and I’ll also be adding and editing a few pages and whatnot.

What do you think about this layout?

Randi Got Mail

Look what I got in the mail today:

A gift from my Amazon.com wish list Mail from England
Click on a photo to see what were inside of these packagings.

I’m going to have a nice warm bath now then hop into my new slippers that my mother bought me, curl up in a blanket and watch Scrubs on my laptop.

Sounds like a good way to beat the cold tonight!

P.S: Don’t mind the theme of the site; it’s only temporary afterall!

Making Your WordPress 2.5 Admin Fluid - A Fix

Are you a WordPress 2.5 user and are annoyed that the content in the administration area only caters for screen resolutions of up to 1024×768… What about higher screen resolutions? There is a way to make the content fluid without editing the code of any WordPress core files. This is done by using a plugin called, “Admin Big Width” by XoraX.

But wait, there is one little problem! The plugin does not apply fluidity to the alerts that appear above the content when activating a plugin or updating options, for example. And the author did not end the PHP code. I decided to fix the plugin for myself when I had noticed that the alerts were not fluid after activating this plugin.

The fix is very simple. All I had done was open the original plugin in a text editor and replaced .wrap with .wrap, .updated, .error and added the closing code ?>

Refer to this text file to see what the code of the plugin looks like after my fix. You can save the text file, renaming it’s extension to .php and upload it to your plugins directory if you wish.

I just thought I’d share this fix in case someone wanted to not only have the WordPress administration content fluid but the alerts as well.

Very simple, no?
