So here it is,,, this is where I’ve been for the last few days. Slaving away till all hours of the night, brain storming and typing like a Stenographer on crack…(you know you love it)

So this is VisualComa v3.1.0 and I like it… It’s not a huge diviation from the last design, but its a little more fresh and simple. I wanted the visual focus to be more directed to the posted content. I guess that mean I should put some real content in here then… Another point of interest was to freshen things up by using a relaxing font when possible. Apple Casual is a great font, one of my favorites.

Other News

As I mentioned the other day I actually bought my own Scooter. It’s a Honda Ruckus 50cc, yes that’s the weakest cc I could have gotten apart from getting a pocket bike. but seriously who would I be kidding if I were to get a real motor cycle… I’m pretty sure I would kill myself or lay it down on my foot right in the middle of town and have to be drug out from under it. Then some old lady with saggy nylon tights would come over to see if I was O.K. and I would accidentally look up her dress… So lets just forget about getting a motor cycle. I don’t like what I’m thinking about.

What else is new…

In relation to what else I’ve been doing, mostly typing but also listening to some sweet tunes. One in particular that I got was ‘Grace Kelly‘ from Mika… I freaking love this song, and for some reason they remind me of Queen. oh and don’t ask why, but I’ve really been into the Shiny Toy Guns, weird I know…

Nuff said for now,,, I promise I’ll get some good video of the Scooter in action (biscuet), maybe even a wheely. just for you Wine… I’m building a mount on the front for my camera, so, good time are coming…

Take it easy

This is just a quicky, I’ll save all the good stuff for Web App Wed… But in the mean time here is a little info for you WordPress self-hosted users.

I would suggest checking out this plugin before you go and download and upload a crap load of files manually. Don’t forget!!! Always do your homework on a plugin before you use it, and if possible test it on someone else first. no I’m not testing it on you…I already tested it on some of my theme sites and this one as well.

So here we go again. A few new things to look at and some things that are always around. I hope everyone doesn’t mind, but i like to use this place a sort of a testing ground for new ideas that i have. Design, Concepts, Form and Function.

There is a little bit of Visual Updates, I tried to keep things similar and build off what I already have. Most of the Update is in the background. I’ve been working diligently on organizing Functions and incorporating Standard Blogging Tools into my themes With out the need of Plugins.

Have fun and let me know if you find any Mistakes.

So what does this mean? This UpGrade is the content behind the scenes kind. The Visuals here may change very little, but the structure is going to be cleaned up and made ready to handle content in a different way. I have had a few comments and emails about Themes and Wordpress, so, I am developing a page to handle those topics. There are other ideas in the meat grinder about offering WP Plugins & Themes.

If you happen to see a lot of my post being updated through RSS that just means Im cleaning up the Categories and Tags.

I decided the other day to go ahead and go for it. I upgraded my WP to 2.5 even though it’s still a little raw. I thought that i would go ahead and get a feel for it so i could be up to par with what going to be the new WP standard. This way i’ll know if i should be using it for my clients or waiting for a better version.

There are a few new features that i think everyone is going to love. The Add Media is absolutely great. They cut out the need for a couple of plugins and helped out with placement of multimedia objects. (im really not that big on putting video on here anyway, but it’s still nice to know there thinking about me.)

Here are a few screen captures to take a peak at.

Another great option that has been added is that there are now three options for putting an image into a post.

1. Thumbnail
2. Medium
3. Full Size

What’s the big woop? well you can go to Setting / Miscellaneous and enter you sized for Thumbnail & Medium. You can still re-size it the way you’re used too. The actual big woop is the combination of these things when your uploading a huge image you dont have to scroll through you Post window to get to the corner. (again and again) - just another way to skin the cat -

ps - if you’re not a WP user thats nice, but ive used Blogger and its finiky and somewhat unreliable. The next time you get pissed off you should go check out WP. Im not telling you what to do, but do it anyway
