What sort of a web-designer webmaster website developer person would I be if I just let danblee.com go on without being mobile first? In the next few weeks I'll be moving over to a mobile friendly website theme. I'm currently tweaking a theme I purchased (because I have created a theme from scratch since 2009) which will be mobile friendly. Here are a few other things I'd like to accomplish: Less shitty ads. Ads, but less shitty ones. Disqus integration while keeping the ability to just … [Read more...] about danblee.com is getting a facelift

WordPress and WAMP: Permalinks other than Default do not work
Permalinks uses mod_rewrite module. By default, this is not enabled in WAMP. Here's how to enable it. Left click the WAMP icon near your clock and or find your httpd.conf by searching in your wamp folder. It will be in your apache folder's conf directory.

WordPress: Preformatted style not wrapping
I just finished up Recover a Mailbox in Exchange 2010 and noticed that my "preformatted" style wasn't wrapping. Here's what I had in my style sheet for <pre> [crayon-5f02e4d41f820324879397/] I didn't have anything to let the preformatted text know how to react once it reached the end of the line.

Menu option not showing up in WordPress
If you're creating a new theme you may immediately notice that menu options aren't available in your wp-admin navigation. This is because you haven't told your new theme that you'd like to begin using menus.

If you don't have a functions.php file yet, create one and add this: [crayon-5f02e4d41fba7711533099/] If you leave it like this, you'll have menu options and you'll … [Read more...] about Menu option not showing up in WordPress
An important email from Matt Mullenweg
As most of you WordPress fans know, version 3.3 was released last night. Along with the update was an email from none other than Matt Mullenweg announcing the release. As I was taking a cab back to a friends house I read the email and quickly replied knowing full well the email will probably just be shot into a no-reply@ mailbox never to be seen again. As it turns out, I was wrong. On Dec 12, 2011, at 10:56 PM, Matt Mullenweg <m@mullenweg.com> wrote: On 12/12/11 7:56 PM, Dan Lee … [Read more...] about An important email from Matt Mullenweg
What’s Up With The Look Of Your Site?
I'm still on this whole "It's my site I do what I want" kick. I kind of like it. For a long time I've developed WordPress templates for websites that don't belong to me. Now that I'm making a site for myself I figured I could take any route that I want. The good thing about starting off like this is I don't have care about deadlines. The other good thing about my approach is I'm free to do whatever I want; I'm brandless and identityless. This means I can change anything I want any time I want; … [Read more...] about What’s Up With The Look Of Your Site?
