I’ve finally had time to redo some of the styling for this site, so I’ve given comments a makeover and switched back to WordPress’s comment system. Initially, I used IntenseDebate to avoid having to style the comments. It was a good idea, but unfortunately I never got the motivation to finish it off.
Oops!
Yeah, I haven’t been writing here much. More blog posts will be coming as soon as I have time to write them.
This morning, I switched the theme on here, Beached, over from using meta fields to WordPress 3.0’s new custom post types. Aside from having to do a manual SQL query to covert the posts, it has worked wonderfully. This also enables me to have different permalinks for links (for example, this post is /92/wp3-custom-post-types/, while a link with the same title would be /link/wp3-custom-post-types/), and in the future, other fun stuff like separate feeds for links and posts, with one combined one. It’s definitely a very powerful feature.
I’ve enabled IntenseDebate comments on here now, because it took half a second to set up. Let’s see how they go.
