Wordpress Just Gets Better

June 19th, 2008
 

Every time I turn around, Wordpress amazes me. The most recent OMGZ-THIS-IS-AWESOME event was the realization that plugins are being made for idiots. One of those idiots is me.

With a simple upload and activation alone (NO EDITING!), I was able to add Commentluv (links to your latest blog post automatically when you comment), Gravatars, social bookmarking, and threaded comments! Do you know how amazing that is? The last time I tried to install a plugin, I nearly killed myself trying to find lines and edit and copy and paste and… *dies a little*

I was also able to add a few things behind the scenes, but who cares about those? *runs to reply to a comment and look at gravatars*

    That’s awesome.. I’m gonna do some of those. I especially want gravatars but I did not realize they had plug-ins for dummies either. YAY! :)

    Elyse reply on June 19th, 2008 10:56 pm:

    LOL! I didn’t either. I was just going through the extension section of Wordpress… saw something that said “easy” or “quick” or one of those lazy person keywords, and boom! I had plugins.

    Gravatars was the easiest to add, and you can edit the placement of the gravatars in your administration panel. It’s so awesome!

    Lmaaao. That’s awesome, I’m always in awe of all the idiot-proof stuff Wordpress developers make for us =D
    Although, I’ve never used a gravatar and have no idea where to set that up… so I’ll be one of those empty placeholders for now EEP sorry =P haha.
    Take care!

    Gravatar.com would be the place where you’d set it up, and then you come back here and play! And then we’ll frolic and dance and frolic some more…

    Well, since you have figured it out…how the hell do I get my own gravatar to show up on others sites?

    [Reply]

    Elyse reply on June 21st, 2008 10:16 am:

    You sign up on gravatar.com using the same email address you post comments with. Simple as that.

    Yay gravatars! I will have to check out commentluv, I tried a plugin similar but it wouldn’t cooperate D:

    Did you IM me the other day, dumpling? I’m just now seeing it and I don’t know another Elyse!

    Kelley’s last blog post… The worst news I’ve heard in a while

    Elyse reply on June 21st, 2008 10:17 am:

    CommentLuv was easy peasy. I had to edit it a bit though because it had a grammatical error that bugged the hell out of me.

    Yes, I did IM you, but you know that already for we watched Inside American Jail and laughed and laughed at the crazy people.

    Haha, a lot of plugins nowadays are being made to upload, activate, and place a small little bit of code in your pages, and settings can be altered via the wordpress control panel.
