I’m having problems with the posts. I used fantastico to update. The last update that I did with fantastico was allright. So I’m surprised why this update is giving me problems.

Well, I’ve not tried it yet, but few bloggers have already experimented with it.

If you want to hear their views on it, do visit the following two pages.

Want to design a WordPress Theme(or Themes?)

With respect to the title of the post, I probably would want to do that some time in the future.This means that you’ve gone from just being a user of WordPress to a consummate member of the WordPress community.Heck, I suppose, you can call yourself a ‘WordPress Evangelist’. Perhaps some one should come up with a banner that says, ‘WordPress Evangelist’ if you have successfully designed a WordPress theme. And if your theme is well received and you turn out to make more than 1 theme, perhaps we can upgrade the title to something more illustrious, say to the distinguished title of WordPress Master Evangelist and if you are one heck of a prolific WordPress theme designer, you can gain the title of WordPress Supreme Evangelist…or you can call yourself WordPress Big Kahuna.

I just browsed some sites and came up with this list. Perhaps some of you can contribute to this list as well.

Good Starting Points:

WordPress CODEX. It has various helpful tip for beginners who want to design but don’t quite know how to begin.
Lorell on WordPress. (Has tons of links there as well).

Beginning to Design WordPress themes:

WordPress CODEX: (Different Link than above). Touches on Theme Development. You should start here if you want to get an authoritative view on designing a WordPress theme.

Can a man move mountains. I mean literally? Yes, I believe so. Infact we not only can move literal mountains but we can also move anything, no matter how ostentatious a challenge life throws at us. If there’s anything, YOU , yes YOU can make a difference.Countless of people before you have done, and there will be many more after you who will continue to do so.

The question that begs an answer is, will YOU step up and make a difference(to yourself,family,world)? What made me to spew such a commentary above? This article from TheIndianBlogger.

If you’re like me, a person who has just discovered the world of WordPress, then I’m sure you won’t mind me sharing some of my discoveries with you. I certainly appreciate bloggers giving us neophytes nuggets of information such as this. This information was obtained from WPDesigner, specifically the article titled: “How to Put Your Best Content Forward”. I highly suggest you visit the page to get instruction on how to use the plugins below (He has given code examples so that your pluing will work like a charm).

I’m just giving you the download site where the plugins were obtained. CLICK the article above!

DOMTab:
LesterChan.net (He is one prolific plugin writer. Checkout the page to see his inventory of plugins!)

Remember, it is highly recommended to read the article by WPDesigner. Link is provided here again.

I came across more plugins for my wordpress blog. This time, thanks to TheIndianBlogger, I have 2 new plugins to add.

WordPress…A Newbie’s experience. (and other thots)

GreatBaron — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 03:54:53 +0000

I’m beginning to like WordPress. I’ve been scouring the net for WordPress blogs and other web related technologies such as Ajax, PHP, and Ruby on Rails. I’ve had experience working with Ruby. I coded a small application using Ruby in a Programming Languages Course at university. It was fun working with Ruby. I had to go through a small ‘paradigm’ shift when I was working with the language. The flexibility that is inbuilt with the language is amazing. I have to check whether or not I still have the doc that I did for Ruby (It’s about the comparison with other languages). It might be useful to the community. I’ll look it up and upload it.

It was a team project and we built this simple online code commenting system. I call it as such for lack of better description. It’s much like a very early development of a Code Versioning System. It was meant to illustrate the application of Ruby as a programming language. It was a fun experience. Thank goodness it was a team project.I certainly appreciated that as that semester I was buried up to my neck in school work. My pals were great. I learnt a lot from them as they have far more experience in programming than me (as in actual work experience and not course based experience).

That’s all I have to share today. If there any stragglers in my blog. Please comment. Would appreciate your feedback.
