WordPress hosting? Are you interested?

I am looking to start a small wordpress hosting service. I know you can get a free wordpress account on the wordpress website but there are limits there. I would not place as many limits, as long as any plugins you would use were not harming or anything like that I would allow them to be used. Templates? I would pre-install templates or show you how to search from within wordpress itself and install!

Have any error messages, I would be glad to assist in getting them fixed if fixable. Want your own domain? You can have that too! Want your own name@yourdomain.com email? Sure! I would have that setup for you and you would have all the comforts of a GMAIL email address, same look, feel, settings, etc.

Want wordpress on your own domain, with your own email but dont want the hassle of setting up wordpress youself? Leave that to me! All for the price of about $7 a month plus the cost of your domain (most domains are about $11 a year).

If interested please feel free to comment, or contact me by clicking on the Cont@ct link up above.

Blog Catalog & Google Friend Connect

Ok well first off I joined BlogCatalog to maybe get some readers who comment, and also to get back into the world of commenting myself. I follow sort of the big tech news blogs, news sites, etc, but not personal blogs, not in a long time. I thought it was time I did get back to regular people, and maybe find some blogs I enjoy reading. If you a Blog Catalog member leave me a comment, I’ll come visit you! If your non a Blog Catalog member leave a comment anyways lol!

Well after joining the above I decided to add the Google Friend Connect widget to my site… just one issue… it was not working. I tried about 2 different wordpress plugins and the code from Google’s Friend Connect page as well, no luck with either 3. I then decided too google for the answer, and came across this page, that says to add this to a version of something not sure if its a theme or something else… well I copied the code and decided to toss it in my TEXT box widget that holds my GFC Widget code from Google and it worked. So if you’re having issues where its not loading, try adding this code above your widget code.

<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
window.JSON = {
parse: function(st){
return st.evalJSON();
},
stringify: function(obj){
return Object.toJSON(obj);
}
};
// ]]></script>

After that hopefully your widget works for you!

New Theme, small updates…

Ok so if you visit my site you know I like to change looks now and then, while the last one I used was great, I decided I needed a change. I decided to go with Bueno, a nice looking WordPress theme. I changed the color a bit for the default mode (comes with different color schemes), to something that I liked better, and took out the dots in the background as it comes originally with polka-dots.



Aside from this, I am still looking for a new Job, my sister is an idiot, and its hot in my house… yep, pretty much covers it.

New Layout

Ok I needed a change and decided to go with this nice theme which you can get the link to who made it at the bottom of the page. I am going to customize it a bit to my liking at least color and background wise I think, need to look at the dos and donts on this theme 1st but unless there is something by the original creator that states not to change anything, I shall be changing something. I think the color is ok but I want something else, something more, not sure what but something.

Mobile version of my blog…

Ok so I found this cool plugin to make my website phone compatible. I tested it on my phone, a MyTouch 3G and it works great. Media is removed but thats ok. I don’t think anyone comes here lol, but now I can access my site better if need be from my phone. If anyone is looking for a way to make their own site mobile friendly, search the plugins from within your WordPress plugin dashboard page and search WordPress Mobile Pack and use that. You get 4 color themes, red, blue, green and base (which is a black white theme).

Oh the joys of wordpress…

Well its been a few days since I migrated to wordpress and everyday I find another feature, another skin, plugin, etc that makes me like wordpress even more. HOWEVER there was one issue I was having, sometimes depending on the skin I was using, the alignment feature would not work correctly when inserting images. I finally searched google and found out why. In order for the alignment feature in the Media manager (the thing that opens when you click to add a image or video or whatever) you must have this code inserted into your stylesheet:

img.centered {
display: block;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
img.alignright {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 0 2px 7px;
display: inline;
}
img.alignleft {
padding: 4px;
margin: 0 7px 2px 0;
display: inline;
}
.alignright {
float: right;
}
.alignleft {
float: left;
}

So if this is an issue your having, try and add that into your stylesheet. So thanks to Daniel Scocco and his post located >here< this issue has been resolved on a few themes I had tried.
