Raw theme
An old fashioned theme post! It’s been a while - oh, and happy new year to the folks reading this in January.
(Interestingly enough around 80% of the readership for this post will be seeing it once it’s more than a month old, if it is typical of this blog, something that I ALWAYS have to [...]
Video in wordpress
Do you remember, back in the day, how many hoops you had to jump through to stop WordPress killing your YouTube embed code. It was a nightmare. Save from HTML view, and redo the whole post if you made a typo because opening it for edit would kill your scripts.
