Ok people, while there haven’t been many posts lately, the site has been getting some TLC. Most of it is behind the scenes stuff that I’d like to share with you now.
- Header images now use the rotator script to display a random image with each page. There are several new header images to rotate. Photo submissions are welcome.
- We have a fancy new favorites/shortcut icon
. It’s from a photo of the Decatur Street sign.
- Smart Update pinger plugin installed, so only new articles will ping the blogosphere.
- There is a fancy Google Map embedded in an iframe using the EzStatic plugin. WiFi, Streetcar stops, and nearby Points of Interest are listed.
- Mobile users can get their fix here via the WordPress Mobile plugin.
- Fixed a bug with PHP5 and the wp-cache plugin. Pages should load much faster.
- Edited some templates so that the author’s name is shown. More authors coming soon.
- Installed and configured the wpPHPMailer plugin, so that people actually get the password when they register. Our webhost has disabled the php mail() function so this is a good plugin.
- Uploaded the Obfuscate E-mail plugin, which makes it almost impossible for bots to grab our email addresses and leaves them human readable and with working mailto: links.
- There is a shiny new “Contact Us” page with scrambled email addresses.
- Added the FeedBurner plugin so that nifty RSS feed stats are generated. Loving the stats.
How did you get wp-phpmailer to work with the latest version of WP and and PHP and MySQL so that it actually sends out emails? I had it working before I upgraded everything to their latest versions.
