There was a small FEATURE in the plugin that didnt allow it to work when php is hosted on IIS but have worked with the author and have now solved that which is great. Actually great support from them and it works a treat.
So I now have ebay items on the sidebar and you can post directly into the text like this… Check out the tattoo flash from my impending brother in law !!! yahoooo. OK OK I am getting a bit wild for a Monday morning I know any way check this out.
Not sure on the ebay header bit but I guess thats ebay doing that so probably nothing we can do about it.

Opening the account was fairly easy. And twitter is self explanatory really. I guess the real reason for getting on Twitter is another way of publishing my useless information that I release from time to time via my Wordpress blog. So I downloaded the plugin twittertools and set up the Twitter login details which worked a treat – when I now published a post on my blog it pushed it to my Twitter account paulfarr0w. The problem was that it had the big long url in it so hunted about and realised that actually within twittertools it had 3 other plugins, one being the interface to bit.ly which gives you tiny url’s.
Signed up for an account with bit.ly and posted again and bobs your uncle now I have posts going through twitter as well all from one source my blog.
Oh one last thing the hash’s in the titles tell Twitter to group the posts by those keywords which is pretty nifty.

What seemed to be the problem was that in my userid / password cache I had two id’s for the site one with a capatalised first letter and one all lowercase, ie. Admin and admin.
Now prior to firefox 3.5 this wasn’t a problem as it picked the correctly saved one. Now since firefox 3.5 it looks like it always wants to pick the capitalised one and there seems to be no way to pick the non capitalised id’s however much you try to get it to do it.
Well all I needed to do was remove the duplicate unused id’s and it then worked. You can do this from preferences -> security -> stored passwords, look for the ids you want to remove, highlight them and hit remove.
Once the duplicate id’s were tidied I could now login using firefox 3.5. Guess this is a feature of firefox 3.5.

Well got the GP1 gps unit for the Nikon and decided to take it out to boxhill where all the bikers meet. It was only Saturday so not that many about.
The GP1 unit is good but took a little while to get used to it. I also thought I would try Flickr which this picture has been uploaded from. So photo was taken with the Nikon D5000 and the GP1 unit so it has the geotagging info in it. Then I uploaded to IPhoto9 and then uploaded using that into Flickr. I then composed a blog entry with flickr so will be interesting to see how this comes out here on the blog.

The way to fix this is to open your finder window and click on go->go to folder and type in /etc then then delete the folder. Then you can set the time zone correctly.

Delete the folder that is the same name as the exporter your trying to delete and bobs your uncle – the exporter will be removed next time you start IPhoto.

If you change the else to be “the_content()” rather than “the_excerpt_rss()” it works. Your images are sent in the description so then the rss readers can read the whole article.

This is particularly relevant these days as I am always falling asleep on the sofa and wake up in the early hours of the morning.
It was a good starting point but something were lacking which I modified by hand ie. put the title on the search box, modified the footer to take out the advertising etc etc. There are still somethings that arent quite right for instance the tag cloud isnt formated properly but that is not the themes problem that is a problem with the tag cloud that comes standard with wordpress as it really needs a tag cloud div html tag created around it. When I have more time I will try to sort that out.
Any way think it looks quite alright for the mo….
