How I like my WordPress

There’s been quite a lot of work behind the scenes and I have to say that I am really enjoying WordPress. Coming into it as a new user and complete novice, it was very easy to get up to speed and do the things I wanted to do.

At this point I have tested a great many plugins, but removed most of them after finding they didn’t function how I wanted. The other plugins work just great, although I’ve modified many of those in the core code for extra features I wanted to have.

For example, I’m now using the Share This plugin and while I found it to be excellent in comparison to Sociable (which I have too), it didn’t pop the links into new windows like I wanted. I tweaked the code of the plugin to now create a new window when links are clicked. I hate taking a user away from the main site.

I’ve also update much of the php to allow me to turn off various plugins and that feature will simply disappear from a page rather then cause an error with the site. I still have tiny things I’m adding or changing, but the core of things are just how I want them.

If anyone wants some info on how I’ve done something…drop me a line.

Cheers.
