Flickr Embedded Slideshows in Internet (Windows) Explorer
The code given previously for a Flickr embedded slideshow does not work in Explorer 6 or 7. Use the following code instead: <pre><iframe src=”http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?user_id=uid&set_id=sid&text=” align=”middle” frameborder=”0″ height=”480″ scrolling=”no” width=”520″></iframe></pre> where uid is your Flickr user id number and sid is the id number of the set of photos you wish to display. Thanks to this […]

A Picassa slideshow can be embedded in a WordPress blog with no problems. The visual editor seems to work fine. All I did was to take the slideshow code provided by Picasa and insert it into the post using the code view. Share this post:

Use the following code: <pre><object type=”text/html” data=”http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/[email protected]&set_id=sid” height=”500″ width=”500″> </object></pre> where uid is your Flickr user id number and sid is the id number of the set of photos you wish to display.

Here is how to embed a YouTube video in your WordPress blog or website. Copy the embed code for the video from the YouTube page. Switch to the “Code” mode of the WordPress editor and paste in the You Tube code. Then (and this is the trick that was so elusive) put an HTML <pre> […]

I am creating a web site for my church, Flora First Christian Church, and am using WordPress as a CMS (Content Management System). WordPress’s excellent administration interface will make it straightforward for church members to update the content on an ongoing basis. Here are some things I am doing to make the web site appear […]
Last updated January 6, 2008Removing Menu Links to the Current Page
One of the fundamental usability guidelines is: never have a link that points to the current page – this confuses the user. (See Jakob Neilsen’s The Ten Most Violated Homepage Design Guidelines, guideline no. 10.) The WordPress blogs and websites that I have seen (including this blog!) violate this guideline in several ways. It would […]

I wanted the navigation elements of WP-Pagenavi to be centered on the page, and the current page number to be above the previous – next navigation, and not have a box around it. In pagenavi.php, change line 8 from: echo ‘<span class=”pages”>’.$pages_text.'</span>’; to: echo ‘<p class=”pages”>’.$pages_text.'</p>’; Add the following to pagenavi-css.css: .wp-pagenavi { text-align: center; […]
Last updated December 3, 2007Removing the Self Links on the Home Page
On a web site, there is no need to have a link to the home page on the home page itself! (It makes no sense for a web page to link to itself). This is a commonly known usability guideline, yet nearly all WordPress blogs and web sites have links on the home page to […]
Last updated November 4, 2007WordPress Permalink Format
Today I changed my WordPress permalink format to /posts/post_id At first, I used the default date format /year/month/day/post_name but then decided that dates were not useful information in the URL. Next I tried /category/post_name, but the URLs were just too long to look “pretty”. (And I thought that if I ever re-named a post, the […]

When trying to install the Independence Day theme, the following error message appeared: Warning: array_merge() [function array_merge]: Argument 2 is not an array in: …/wp-includes/widgets.php on line 53. Based on the comments on this post: http://www.gudlyf.com/2005/01/14/wordpress-plugin-technotag/feed/ I changed line 53 of wp-includes/widgets.php to: $sidebar = array_merge($defaults, (array)$args); The change casts argument 2 to the array […]
