Livecanlendar fix

Just “rediscovered” the WordPress plugin called Livecalendar. This is a drop-in replacement for WordPress’ in-built calendar. Livecalendar is a cool AJAX-ified plugin for :wp: and allows for calendar navigation without refreshing the entire page. Note that for the current version (v. 1.8.5) there is a small bug which prevents it from displaying the links correctly when you have installed WordPress in a subdirectory while your blog is placed in the root instead (i.e. when WordPress address and Blog address of the General Options are different). However here is a well-documented fix for it for those who may need it!

* I had actually used this plugin before but decided it was just too slow for me at the time, but everything seems OK for now.

Currently in the middle of a site revamp so things will get slightly messy around here. Hope to have things back in order by the end of this weekend.

NSFW?

Just a quick note about an unusal – for me, at any rate – acronyms.

Recently came across a few articles with the rather strange acronym NSFW?? I was quite stumped for a while – perhaps I have been left behind by the information highway… 🙂 Well, never fear, Wikipedia to the rescue! It turns out that NSFW = Not Safe For Work – not that I have been reading anything unsuitable for work. 😉

Catching up with the Time Lords

Recently was quite fortunate to get access to some Doctor Who (the official BBC site, and public-contributed information on Wikipedia) videos – all episodes of the Ninth Doctor as played by Christopher Eccleston as a matter of fact. After an absence of more than 15 years, interrupted only by presence of the 1996 telefilm, Doctor Who finally made a return to the air waves in 2005 in its ninth incarnation. I may add, after all these years, the Doctor has not really lost his charm on me!

For those who are unfamiliar with the BBC TV series Doctor Who, it “is in fact the longest-running science fiction television series in the history of broadcasting, a series that began on the BBC1 network in the United Kingdom in November 1963 and ran until 1989.”, according to Outpost Gallifrey which is seemingly the most comprehensive site on Doctor Who at the moment. It was eventually returned to TV in early 2005 for all new adventures.

Following the recent upgrade of all my blogs to :wp: 2.1, I felt it was also time to have a face lift. However, if I simply replaced each site with a new theme, it seems a shame that all the effort that went into the customisations of each theme would be wasted, no?

This is how :myhistoryurl:As They Were was born! Here I will keep copies (but not the content, of course) of the :wp: sites I have set up.
