I’ve added The Dark Knight to my DVD collection. I’ve got both the front cover and trailer as usual. It was one of the best movies of 2008 and most certainly the best Batman movie so far.. at least I think so. 🙂
Although I have had them for awhile, I’ve added the following two movies to my DVD collection:
Both of these are great movies and I hope to expand my collection on Christmas. 🙂
I have also added a widget on the right side of my blog to display a random image from my gallery. In order to do this, I had to install a new plug-in for my blog. It is the Executable PHP widget which allows me to include PHP code between <?php ?> tags. In addition, I have installed the Revision Control plug-in to control how many revisions of a post WordPress saves as I am writing an article. I looked for something like this when I noticed 15 revisions of a post that I had published. Since I am the only one editing my posts, I clearly do not need that many revisions hanging around taking up database space. With this plug-in I have initially setup a default setting of 2 revisions just in case I really screw some post up or something LOL. I may adjust this amount. At least I do have some control over it now.
I have also changed around the home page of my main website. I moved the weather/flag image to its own section on the right edge above the random gallery image. I never really did like how I had it before as it always appeared odd.. probably some lack of symmetry issue. I think my home page looks much better now. I did modify the gallery image block a little by adjusting the CSS as I thought the way it looked in my blog was better.
Well, I guess that’s it for the moment. 🙂
I have updated my blog to WordPress v2.7 which was just released. Once again I did have to edit the /wp-includes/vars.php file to force $is_apache to true (see below) since the SERVER_SOFTWARE variable comes back as WebServerX instead of Apache. Other than that the upgrade went smoothly. 🙂
As always, I did perform a complete database and file backup before upgrading. I also deactivated all my plug-ins before hand as well. I did have to reapply some code modifications that I made related to the RSS Feed widget; however, I’ll make a separate post about all that! 🙂
Yep.. that time again to upgrade my blog to the latest version, WordPress v2.6. Once again, I had to edit the /wp-includes/vars.php to force $is_apache to true because the server software reports back as WebServerX. Following is the server detection part of the script:
Other than that, the upgrade went smooth! 🙂
The movies I had lent to my parents have been returned so I can now add them to my DVD/Home Theater page. They are:
In addition to the front DVD cover, I have also included a trailer. I will admit that some of the trailers with these last eight additions are not as good as some of the previous ones; however, the process took much less time and effort as I just downloaded existing flash trailers I found on the IMDb site versus making my own from better quality source material. I might see if I can find a better source to use as these seem to be 25fps and if memory serves the Pathfinder one has an audio problem in the middle of it. Anyway, while I was at it, I also updated some of the content on my DVD/Home Theater page.
