Daily Llama 3.0

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 [...]

Modern-Blue 2.1

The two main features of Modern-Blue 2.1 are threaded comments and color schemes.  Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to make an admin menu yet, so the only way to change color schemes is to go into the code.  However, the code is very easy to understand.  You simply copy a line of code from one [...]

The best error message ever!

All you have to do is go into a WordPress 2.6 or higher blog, go to edit any post, scroll down to the bottom of the page, choose a revision, make it so it compares one to itself, and boom!  The best error message ever!
For those who don’t have a WordPress blog, or are too [...]

A cool templating idea

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…

A new tradition: LlamaSlayers computer utility day

Starting today, the fifth of every month will be “LlamaSlayers computer utility day”.  Join if you want, basically all you have to do is complete any or all of the tasks from the following list.  After each task listed, there will be notes telling you how to do the task and why the task is important.  Some of these tasks are for Windows computers (I don’t have a Mac or Linux computer so I can’t say anything to do for them, you’ll have to look elsewhere), some for WordPress blogs, and others for general things to do around computers on the fifth of every month.

Of course, you don’t have to do any of these, they’re just suggestions.  And the fifth of every month is just a random date that popped into my head.  You can celebrate your own computer utility day on any day you want.
