I don’t know if anybody else has already created one, but it seems almost too obvious and simple to not do it.

I whipped up a Wordpress Widget for the new Del.icio.us “Tagometer” badge. No need to thank me, its probably the simplest widget ever written.

Download Del.icio.us Tagometer Widget (.gz file)

Super-simple install. Just download and un-gzip in your “wp-content/plugins” directory and enable it in the control panel. You can then add it like any other Wordpress widget. No configuration necessary (or possible).

You can see an example at right, under “Tagometer”.

For those of you who are old fashioned, you can also call the functions directly from your Wordpress templates to customize where the badge ends up.

Comments Fixed

So it seems I broke my Wordpress template awhile ago and didn’t realize how easy it would be to fix it. I’d been putting it off but I fixed it earlier today.

It turned out I didn’t have a “single.php” file for formatting the display of individual posts, so it was using the main template instead. And that template was missing a single critical tag (that I didn’t know I needed to have) that plugs in the comment form.

So now you really can tell me how much I suck.

Just installed UltimateTagWarrior? Converted all your categories to tags? Dissappointed that your imported categories are capitalized and capitalized tags look stupid? Fear not! Fire up your favorite MySQL client and use this simple SQL query on your Wordpress database:

UPDATE tags SET tag = LOWER(tag);

I found it handy so maybe somebody else will.

Spit Polish

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.4 tonight and decided that at the same time I might as well give my blog a bit of an “overhaul”. So if things look strange or suddenly stop working, its because I’m replacing the gerbils that run the internals of my site.

Comments are now unbroken

Well it appears that when I upgraded my version of WordPress recently, I also managed to break the comment form on my blog.

I was wondering why nobody was commenting. Strangely I still managed to get blog spam though…

But its fixed now.
