NextGen Slideshow Fixed - 2011-09-17 20:53:34 -
I uninstalled the NextGEN plugin and reinstalled it but my gallery links were demolished. I will re-import them to set up a new link table - when I have time. Thanks again for the heads up.

No I am not giving up on blogging or podcasting!

On the contrary, I have 96 private postings from the last 14 months on various topics which I shared with 43 WordPress trainees. 29 of these WordPress enthusiasts are from the eTwinning community and the remainder are teachers from around Ireland and some PC users who attended last year's Digital Bootcamp organised by the INTo and delivered by Apple last summer in Alexander College, Dublin.

I will tidy them up, especially the posts with links and publish them (publicly) over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the "Back 2 School" emails.

bbPress for the chop

I have decided to discontinue the use of bbPress at the end of August.

I shall keep the associated mySQL database intact just in case I have a change in heart.

Feedjit Plugin

I don’t know when this plugin became available for WordPress users but I have put the code in Sidebar 2.

I was my own best customer for the first minute or so until I configured it to ignore my IP address.

It will be interesting to see if [...]

The owner is weighing up his options in light of the recent major WordPress upgrade which has impacted upon archived the site’s achived pages and presented him [...]

podePressed!

PodPress seems to be out of commission for the foreseeable future. A rebuild is in progress to facilitate Drupal and Joomla users in the near future. Check out this posting on the MightySeek site for work around solution.
