Sometimes Ironic

I was about to post yesterday about BrowseHappy. I had been meaning to for sometime, then yesterday I had the urge to post about it. Then, for whatever reason, I didn’t. So what about that is ironic?

It seems that yesterday, an announcement was made by the Web Standards Project (another fabulous site, by the way) with the headline

BrowseHappy Now Part of WordPress as WaSP Refocuses Mission

Appearently, WaSP felt that BrowseHappy compromised its position by infering a lack of neutrality toward various browsers. That makes sense to me, since BrowseHappy really promotes Mozilla browsers (and specifically, IMO, Firefox). So…

to make a long story short WordPress.org will be taking Browse Happy under its wing by continuing hosting the site and keeping it current with the latest trends and information.

My First WordPress Theme – LimeLite

By Chad Butler 11 Comments

OK. Here is my first WordPress Theme for WP 1.5. This was tested on 1.5.0 and 1.5.1. The theme is called LimeLite and this is the first beta release.

It is HEAVILY based on Kubrick. In fact, it is Kubrick with a modified header and modified font colors. So the it’s basically a Kubrick mod.

To install, download the theme, extract, and load to /wp-content/themes/. This should give you a /limelite/ folder in /themes/. There is no additional support available for this release.

Download LimeLite 0.1b here.

Web Developer Extention

By Chad Butler Leave a Comment

If you are a web developer of any sort, you need Chris Pederick’s Web Developer extention for Firefox. (WHAT? You’re not using Firefox? Ok, then, you need to back up and get Firefox.)

If you have Firefox installed, go to Chris’ site and get the Web Developer extention. I honestly do not know how I survived this long without it.

Some of the things it makes easy and quick:

Displays anchors
Displays cookies
View HTTP Headers
Validate CSS & HTML
And a whole lot MORE!!!

This is the best, most worthwhile extention I have seen EVER! I would go so far as to say that it’s probably the most usable tool for a Web Developer.

Get it here. And don’t say I never gave you anything.

Thanks Chris!
