I spent a bit of time with me blog again. I messed around with the theme templates, modified it a bit to suit my tastes for the main page.

I notice that I’m posting a little bit more regularly at least, I guess that’s something to be proud of. This spurred me to see if there’s a way I can feed my blog entries into my Facebook and Livejournal. So I went trolling for WordPress plugins. There’s a Facebook updating plugin for WordPress, but it’s not particularly up to date, so the new Facebook redesign breaks that one, so I put that on the backburner for now. Next up was Livejournal.  I found a WordPress plugin that allows your updates to get posted onto LJ as well, and it works a treat. So if you’re reading this on my LJ, it means it really is working!

If I don’t get a decent Facebook plugin anytime soon, perhaps I’ll dive in and see about developing one myself. But then I’d have to figure out both Facebook’s API, and delve a bit deeper into WordPress as well. I wrote a plugin for WordPress that pulls my Xbox Live gamercard throughh as a widget, and that wasn’t too hectic, did learn quite a bit about the inner workings of WordPress as such, which has come in handy in doing some cosmetic modifications to the themes and such.

In other news, new Metallica album’s pretty damn good. Harks back to vintage Metallica, and that’s only a good thing in my book.

Our puppy’s growing up fast now, but she has discovered a new favourite past-time: snail hunting. She goes and finds them in the garden, and then brings them into the house to chew on her pillow. Then she leaves the bits all over, and that’s just gross! I guess that’s just one more joy of being a pet-owner.
