Break stuff

Posted on February 17, 2008

As usual, when I upgrade, something breaks. In this case, the blogroll at the bottom isn’t working. WP changed the template tags a bit so now wp_get_links doesn’t work and they suggest people use wp_list_bookmarks instead. It’s not just a name change, but apparently has some different functionality. Anyway, I can’t get it working at the moment.

I’ve been thinking about coming up with a new theme, but haven’t figured out which way I want to go with it. Brown is kind of good for a coffee/mocha motif, and there are even some themes out there that already have coffee motifs. However, it would be nice to have tome other colors too, so I have to ponder a bit.

BTW, I’ve come to the conclusion Macs are horrible development platforms, for the web at least. They don’t even come with a decent GUI text editor. It’s a sad state of affairs when Microsoft’s Notepad outshines anything Apple has to offer on their systems. There are text editors available for download or purchase, but an OS should come with a decent GUI text editor as part of the basic suite of programs. Mac OS X doesn’t even allow people to upload to FTP servers. I’m aware of the security issues of FTP, but if it allows me to download via FTP, why shouldn’t I be able to upload. At the moment, my MacBook is relegated to being a jukebox and DVD player. It’s very good at those things.
