Toolbar and Comment Preview

under Online Life, Sitework, Wassup at 1:35 am on June 22nd, 2005

Yup i added two more features viz. the comment form now has a tool bar like the one i get to use while posting this message so that its easier to post messages. Now your posts can be civilised too :P J/k :D
The second one is the live preview. While you type a comment it shows the preview. It shows where you have made the text bold and italic and where you have used such formatting :)
The only thing is that if you goto a new line after pressing enter … the text of the previous line becomes a bit small. I have to edit that plugin if possible :D
I was gonna add the post mailer too so that the regular people on the blog get posts via mail but its 1.35 Am and im sleepy. Also the installation was long :P
Btw … work on that comment preview took time :| But i sorted it out :D

WordPress 1.5.1

under Online Life, Sitework at 10:26 pm on May 18th, 2005

Ya the new wordpress is out :) It has a few features that i noticed … i got it when i switched hosts. It was directly installed via cpanel (well not cpanel but that kinda thing that my host has) by my host.
It looks quite nice and stable. You can read more about this release off wordpress’s official website here

Image gallery underway

Yup! Its true. I have finally began work on it and this time it will work. I already tried integrating it with this blog. I actually managed to find a way to integrate it but alas my server doesnt have a proper gd library (dunno what that is but thats what matt told me :P) so the script i’m using and wordpress itself cant make thumbunails. Because my idea was to just add images everytime and then the page would be auto updated. The script does that but the server aint allowing it to be done in jpg format. Gif doesnt have the same quality and png is too big :(
So i decided on using a different server and putting up links from here too there. That is my 1st ever all notepad site. Yup no software’s used. I am using Css there and the base template was made by Matt so i just edited, added and subtracted stuff :P
When it is done i shall put up a link. And dont worry matt, ur name is gonna be on the top of the credits page for all ur help ;)
The credits page is the last thing ill put up. It will signify that the site is complete :)
Thanks once again to all those who helped. If u dont see ur name on the credits page and feel u should be there then contact me
