Daily Llama 3.0

Saturday, November 8th, 2008 – 9:00:27 pm

The all new Daily Llama — it’s more flashy, more semantic, and best of all, more purple!
While I have nothing against my own creation, Modern-Blue just wasn’t my style.  I had been looking into themes that developers could use — so I wouldn’t need to start from scratch — and I settled upon Sandbox.  It [...]

A cool templating idea

Saturday, April 12th, 2008 – 6:29:14 pm

A very popular theme on WordPress.com is Sandbox.  Why?  Because (for security reasons), WordPress μ does not allow template editing, to prevent all types of malicious scripting.  However, with the release of WordPress 2.5 and the shortcode system, I’ve been thinking that someone should make a templating system that could be used on MU without a risk of cross site scripting.

Instead of being a plugin, it would probably need to be a theme to prevent the “WTF” response when either your custom template is destroyed when you change a theme, or when you change a theme and your old custom one shows up.

I think I might be able to attempt creating this system, however I won’t need to if someone has already released something similar…

We’ve moved!

Saturday, November 17th, 2007 – 9:37:24 am

Since this blog is in a new place, the theme that I had does not work here as well as I would like it to. Even though I am using a slightly different theme, I’m not liking this one particularly either. I’ll just need to see what I need to do.

P.S. Does anyone know the php code to make one of these?

P.P.S. Does anyone actually read this blog?  If you do, make a comment on this post, please

Some big changes around here.

First of all, I would like to say that FreeHostia is dumb. But what do you expect from a free web host? If you try out Freewebs, you’ll see that things can be worse.

All webhost stupidity claims aside, I’m going to make as many changes for the better as I can just on this blog.

First of all, I’m going to make the new theme that I was planning on making. Also, I’ll need to see where I can host this blog elsewhere that might be a better host. Okay, I see that I’m drifting back into I-hate-this-webhost land, so I’ll try to pull myself out of it.

The new template will be purple

Ok, maybe not an ENTIRE new theme…

Sunday, October 28th, 2007 – 11:41:06 am

So I’m not going to make an entire new theme for my blog… I’ll just make a few tweaks to make the theme I have the best it can be without losing the theme’s feel. One of the first updates I’m doing is banning a certain user agent from my blog because I think they’re trying to DDoS me… I’ve had about 20 404 errors in my 404 log in a row yesterday from the same user agent.

But for now, let’s just hope that I’ve fixed the problem. One of the other things I am going to do to my theme is implement more colors into my comments css.

Old comments looked like this.
