My website gets a high pagerank. It was 4 about 2 months ago. But now drop back to 3. I don’t know but maybe they choose to spam on sites with high pagerank. Thanks for Akismet, there were only about 2 or 3 spam comments wasn’t blocked. So the spam links never get a link to promot there page rank.

I payed a little time to get my blog program up to date. It’s version 2.6 now. Seems that there are lots of exciting changes: Gears, Post revision. Cool~ but I haven’t notice any difference until now. Just checked my Gears installation and it’s disabled since it’s not compatible to FF version 3.01… Gonna update it and see what will happen then.

I was lazy in July – made nothing, even a blog post. Maybe I can figure out what to do on this month. Write some codes? Or date someone? Who knows~~~

• Event Handling is 103% Faster
• CSS Selectors are 13% faster
• .offset() is 21% faster
• .css() is 25% faster

and many others.

Have you felt the speed change on my site? ;P, maybe not!

I want to put it in sidebar. So I added a widget function for this plugin. Also the content filters were commented out so that it won’t borther to filter my post contents everytime since I don’t want to display them in post or feeds.

Although it works fine for me now, there are still some things to be improved:

1. If the number of related posts does not reach to display limit, it should have option to fill with random or most commented posts.
2. The title section really need to be moved out from the main code generate function.
3. Take count of category. The posts in the same category are related.
4. Denis submitted v0.6 to SVN trunk! I wander how he released v0.7 via SVN…

I will send Denis my patch tomorrow. Hopefully he will merge it into next release, and, fix the functions I wanted here.

好在周五就下决心周日跟他们一起去爬崂山, 所以没把整个周末毁掉. 这次的目的地是小八仙墩, 与上次的八仙墩虽说是只有几百米的距离,但路线却完全不同. 早上做巴士到流清河, 然后一路沿公路走到太清宫(中间爬了半个山腰绕过收费站),再从太清宫上山翻到小八仙墩. 这一路走的并不轻松~我迟到了半个小时,追赶他们的时候一路小跑,赶上他们也一步没停,折腾了整整4个多小时才到目的地.幸好体力比他们好的多,嘿嘿,否则说不定半路就狗屁了呢.

虽然现在刚刚开春,植物还都没冒芽,不过崂山的魅力依然不减,山清水秀毫不含糊.此美不能言传,只能观PP:

PS: 今天更新了WP2.5, 正好使用它的photo gallery功能添加了上面这批图片. 那是相当好用啊! 没想到2.5这么快就发布了,还以为真的要22年以后呢~

不得已,再去翻wp-db.php. 却发现代码改了,添加了对DB_CHARSET的支持,使用了:

$this->charset = DB_CHARSET;
...
$this->query("SET NAMES '$this->charset'");

来定义数据库连接的编码了

于是马上在我的wp-config.php中添加了一行:

define('DB_CHARSET','UTF8');

F5了一下, 果然好用, 哈哈．以后不需要改wp的core, 直接在config文件中定义就可以了. 方便,方便,相当地方便.

I think I was to busy(lazy) to write something here. Until, yesterday I got this pretty program, Windows Live Writer, installed. Surprisingly it supports Wordpress. Cool. Now I don’t have to log onto my site panel and write anymore. So here I write the first post in this month.

Another interesting thing is JIRA. This fu*king cool stuff is almost what I wanted for quite a long time, and it provides more than I expected. But it made me crazy for 2 days because of the installation. I followed every step in the instruction but still failed to install it into my standalone Tomcat server. Finally I installed a standalone version of JIRA – with a internal Tomcat and database. F**k. The only thing I need now is a keygen for it – I have only one month left for the trial version.

The last thing is about offline diary software. Today blog software is popular that no one want to write a offline diary -except me. I need a diary software to write something which I don’t want to publish. I searched for quite a while but found nothing good. I need some thing with a good look – like Live Writer do. But the programs I found were all way too ugly. I will write one by myself – if I have time to.

That, i think, is partly because of the excellent plugin wp-openid.

Closing as WONTFIX for now. Multiple plugins exist for this functionality. You have also combined the two issues of consuming and serving.

I was waiting for the openid support in wp core until I saw this ticket today. So I installed WP-OpenID right away. It’s a good plugin, though no many option. Support OpenID in commenting is what I wanted for a long time, but I really want to turn off the openid login support – that adds an user in my blog!

Anyway, friends, you can use your openid url to comment on my articles now.
Enjoy!

Obviously it’s just launched. Only the upper header and footer are changed. I even got a error in the dashboard. Except this, I love this new style. It’s brighter and with better tab style.

As said in the wp-hackers list, the new design is contributed by happy cog. I am sure there will be a fantastic design come with the upcoming wordpress 2.4.

PS: Why not happy cog design a template for wordpress? Am I greedy? Haha…

Changes includes:

1. Insert css styles which can place a background image in your post indicating your post language
2. You can define language direction in “languages.php”. Once it’s defined, the direction will be added when you specify language tag
3. Changed readme file for bettery display in wordpress plugin directory. Also fixed a problem in readme file.

Since this plugin is hosted in the offical wordpress plugin site, you can always download the latest verion at Plugins Directory.

Enjoy!
