Letzteres kam mit dem neuen WordPress, Version 3.0. Da lässt sich jetzt auch ein neues Headerbild einbauen und so. Bis das so richtig geht, müsst ihr aber noch kurz warten, bis wir auf 3.0 hochgehen. Ich bin mir ja nicht so sicher, ob das wirklich alles so reibungslos läuft. Vielleicht erstmal auf das nächste Maintenance Release warten.

Wenn ihr Themes findet, die ihr gerne hättest, bitte kurze Ansage. Auch, wenn es Probleme mit den Themes gibt (wenn zum Beispiel die Webstatistik nicht mehr geht).

p2 könnt ihr euch bspw mal hier anschauen.

There is one problem on the web (actually, there are many, but let’s stick to this particularily annoying one): Whereever you go, you need to register, you need to pick a new username, and password, and so on. With OpenID, it means you can use your blog login at ALL OpenID enabled sites. As long as you are logged into your blog, you won’t need to authenticate at other sites. This probably still sounds complex, but we will be using it in a particular way: Over the year, we will add services to antira.info. Usually, you would need to pick new username and password again, but with OpenID, you can just use your blog. That helps us to maintain the user base in one database, and helps you that you don’t need to juggle with several logins.

We’ll get back to this in due time…

There is some new stuff available in your blogs now. Read this post to find out all about it. The most noteworthy should be the easy embedding of videos. Like here:

All you do is take the url and paste it on a separate line. It gets converted into the video automagically. Support so far for:

YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv

The best thing about it: You don’t need to do anything. As soon as you post a link to an image, it is immediately lightbox’ified automagically.

Example:

Initially, there were some problems setting the Plugin up, but I believe they should have been overcome by now.

So far, we are not really providing a lot of themes, actually it is that old Kubrick that comes bundled with wordpress, and two flavours of K2. We keep it this way so far because we haven’t found other good themes so far, but feel free to point some out to us. We are however looking for easy customization, support of the wp_footer() call and like the idea of custom css files.

Anyway, if you are switching to K2, as stated above, there are two flavours. We have the 1.0.2 stable version, and we also track the nightly builds, that is the bleeding edge version the K2 team provides. You can use either, use the former for stability and the latter for experimentation. Latter might however brake things from time to time. That is the deal with bleeding edge.
