I’ve finally upgraded WordPress and can get back to posting. Thankfully, everything worked after I deleted and replaced files. There are still a couple of things that need to be adjusted with the menu tabs and pages, but I’m ready to get back to blogging again.
Edit: My CSS validation is suddenly not validating due to [...]
Finally!
xhtml strict validation errors with Amazon widgets
Since I was accepted as an Amazon Associate, I’ve been playing around with the available widgets and settled on one that I liked. Unfortunately, whoever writes web code for Amazon apparently doesn’t practice clean W3C web standards because the Amazon widget code doesn’t validate. It’s very frustrating!
Actually, I suspected something like this issue would happen [...]
Ack! Blank category pages! Bring on the buttons!
This evening I spent time designing a “tab” button for my About page and then found out while testing the new button that my categories were all linking to blank pages instead of to the posts assigned to those categories. Very puzzling.
It turns out that just having a category.php file in the directory will prevent [...]
WordPress is but a Flickr of NextGEN
I’m trying out a couple of WordPress plugins for displaying photo galleries. The first is called NextGEN Gallery and the other is Flickr Photo Album for WordPress. The Flickr setup is giving me validation warnings. I think I will need to customize the photo album templates for the plugin to clear those. I also can’t [...]

There will likely always be some degree of experimentation even after I get it set up as I’ll be practicing certain web techniques on the site. [...]
The page is still validating
I’ve set the doctype to xhtml 1.0 strict and so far the page is still validating. I’ve installed a handy Firefox plugin called HTML tidy so I can see at a glance if the page is still within standards. From what I understand, WordPress keeps to W3C standards, so I should be able to keep [...]
Validation
The page is definitely not pretty right now. I’m still slowly going through the tutorial (between working on our Toastmasters club website and playing Fallout 3) and am spending time making sure everything validates to xhtml strict doctype. Plus, I’m trying to learn more about the Wordpress functions. Eventually, I’ll use CSS to put a [...]
Tutorial found!
I found a really nice WordPress theme tutorial at a site called wpdesigner.
Hello world!

In the meantime, this site is barely up and running, so I thought I would develop a blog that would keep account of my progress as I slowly build up the site bit by bit in a [...]
