A little hack for the WordPress Widgets plugin sidebar code, and my first WordPress widget; gapingvoid for WordPress, available here.

Introducing Search All, a new plugin to enhance searching in WordPress.
Based heavily on the work of David B. Nagle (Search Pages) and Dan Cameron (Search Everything), Search All adds an admin interface to select the search options and adds attachment and draft post searching to the mix.
Read more about it here.
There are quite a […]

UPDATE: Steve Jensen brings up a good point in his post - that all instances of user_login ($args[1]) and user_password ($ars[2]) need to be trimmed in order for other method calls (like “edit”) to succeed. xmlrpc.php.txt has been updated.
As long as you’re able to replace files on your WordPress install, my hack will fix […]

From (parenthetical):
See my conversation with Dave starting here.
When I step through the code I get what appears to be a valid xmlrpc method call over http, but my xmlrpc log file looks munged. If there’s anyone around who uses a WordPress 1.5+ blog and the OPML Editor and woud be willing to try a […]

… is here. Don’t know that I’ll listen to this one - I’m not overly interested in KZSB, but that’s neither here nor there.
Actually I wanted to comment on 2 things.
Yesterday I called TDS Metrocom, our local phone and DSL carrier, who I’ve been nominally pleased with to this point. They had contacted […]

Hammered together the next version of the wp-opml.php template over the last day or so. This version shows the post links for the entire blog, within their respective categories. Categories are also properly nested. You can see the results here. The template file is available here. You could also browse […]

I was having problems validating my new OPML “feed” at Randy Charles Morin’s KBCafe Really Simple Validation engine - I kept getting a 404 error. Same kind of error at Julian Bond’s OPML Browser at Voidstar. Then I discovered that my RSS feeds exhibited the same problem, though they could be subscribed to […]

My interest in social software has been growing recently. In point of fact, I’m not sure why. I’m truly not a very social person, and I basically have no friends (OK, I have few friends), but something about the networks possible in the social software web spaces intrigues me. Perhaps it has […]

I’ve been having some trouble with Technorati not indexing posts on this blog properly, from the tag point of view. Essentially what’s happening is that posts from house of the hanged man are not showing up consistently in the Technorait tag page.
At first I thought that Technorati wasn’t properly indexing my site. But […]

Edmundo Hidalgo has written a plug-in called Cat2Tag. This is a close approximation of a plug-in that I was considering writing; one that enabled you to create categories on the fly. I’ve had a need for this several times already, and I’ve only been on WordPress for about a month for this blog.
This […]
