So, as a personal experiment I’ve been developing a technical blog from scratch.
Well I’m happy to say it’s now into a beta stage and available to view by anyone. There’s not a lot to it, just a few entries and no way to comment (yet), but it’s working and it’s doing the job it’s been programmed thus far.
You can see here the basic form, I’ve built it from a theme developed by arsin called Beautiful Day. Everything else has been done by me. I’m pretty happy with the little calendars I built (look ma, no tables!). I’ve been struggling with trying to keep the whole thing XHTML valid, but I’m getting stuck when trying to show code inside an entry. I know the problem, and I’m working on a solution, just takes time…
This is a preview of My technical blog - in beta form (finally)

After seeing this in action at a friends blog, I thought this little nugget of a plug in would be great! It’s called CommentLuv and if you so allow it will try to grab your last entry on your blog and slap a link up for it.
I think it only works for Wordpress, as in it’s a plugin only for Wordpress, but it looks like it will search your blog in the usual spots for a the feed, here’s some info on that part “The plugin looks for a feed in the default location of your blog, for Wordpress users this will be /feed/ or /?feed=rss, blogspot users get /feeds/posts/default, web-log blogs are now included thanks to Edward De Leau. If it can’t find a feed there then it will search your <head> part of your website for an alternate link (<link rel=”alternate”) and use that instead.”
I hope you enjoy!

So after upgrading to Wordpress 2.3.3 I started having some odd behavior. You may have noticed things missing here and there and then coming back, well that was me trying to figure out which plugin was causing the grief.
Well after going through one by one (I didn’t go through and add each one with it) I narrowed it down to Post-Teaser. I love the plugin, but it was crashing my browser every time I’d make a post.
It looks like it could a different plugin. I went through and disabled them all, this time starting with post-teaser and it worked all the way up till I activated another one. Then I thought maybe it was a limit on how many I could have activated at any given time to I activated a couple others and deactivated the one and it worked fine. So It may be the plugin or it could be a combination of plugins. I’ve tried to look for an errors in my hosting logs but I don’t see anything.
I sent off a comment to the maintainer and hopefully they’ll figure out what might be the problem.

Trying to find a better 3 column wordpress just caused me a lot of trouble. I think though it has to do with not only a problematic theme but it also seemed to be centered around the Gallery 2 plugin. Further testing should help me to know.
