I felt like messing around in Photoshop earlier; I started using all of the little shapes that come installed with it and made…a picture, I guess.
I decided I liked it enough to make it into a MySpace layout:
I think I’ll make a few more and put them up.

Ignore the blog entries…I’m fiddling around and messing things up, lol.
Fixed.
I seriously had a “eureka!” moment just now…which is strange because I’m knackered (I’ve been up all night, every night since my last entry, thinking of bloody PHP code
).
The search form for my EasyAsk&Answer script has been winding me up for as long as it’s existed; it seems to work fine until it’s near WordPress.
Well, I fixed it; you can now theme it like the rest of your WordPress pages and entries. You can go and redownload it now (you’ll only need to replace “files/searchdb.php” ) and have it working by the time you’ve finished uploading that page and “search.php” (to have your WordPress themes included), or you can wait until tomorrow for me to write a quick little write-up (err…that doesn’t sound right?) on how to get it into a WP page.
Why don’t I write it up now? Because I’ve found that doing ANYTHING with my scripts when I’m not 100% “there” is breaking them…
I broke Little Wall O’ Buttons the other day.
If you downloaded the spam fix, you’ll need to redownload and upload “addbutton.php”; I wrote
if(isset($_POST['isthisspam'])) {
when it should have been
if(!empty$_POST['isthisspam'])) {
it doesn’t look like a big deal but it would have stopped anyone who tried to add their button.
You can stop throwing rotten food at me now…
Oh and I also removed some extra code in EasyAsk&Answer that was stopping some people from installing it.
I have so learnt my lesson: don’t touch scripts if you’re not 100% awake and alert.

I’m currently sick to the back teeth of WordPress and would like to use another blogging tool.
These are my requirements:
- Add / edit / delete posts
- Add / edit / delete categories
- Add posts to as many categories as I want
- RSS feed
- Won’t mess around with anything else on my site
Pages are a nice extra but I can live without them.
My site appears to be set up in a unique way; most of the site is handwritten code but my actual blog and a small number of my pages are powered by WordPress. The themes / skins are also controlled by WordPress.
I tried TextPattern first but it wasn’t for me; it seemed I could only add posts to up to two categories (and I almost always write posts that span a few categories
) and when I attempted to import my WordPress database, everything got put into the Posts table.
So I went looking for a blogging script that would either be perfect for me or one I could tweak to fit my needs.
