New Stuff

Posted November 2, 2008 by Ash 4 Comments »

Welcome to the new people m3t304a and chusai who have just joined the site!

I appreciate you taking the time to register guys. Feel free to ask any questions you might have or start blogging about how you are going with your own projects. Actually that is something I need to do as well! :)

I have enabled two new plugins on the site to help you get posting quicker.

1) Easier YouTube, Vimeo, Google Video, etc embedding

The site allowed embedding of videos previously by clicking on the ‘Add media’ buttons in the Post editing page but it wasn’t actually embedding the vids properly (which was mega annoying). Now to embed youtube videos into your site you can just use a shortcode (left and right square brackets with some stuff in between) as explained here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/video-bracket-tag/

2) Lighter Menus Plugin

This plugin simply turns most of the Wordpress admin menus into easy to access drop-down menus. That means you get writing quicker! Most of you probably haven’t even noticed these yet, I bring it up so you know what to hassle me about if anything breaks.

 

In other news… This is why we do this, people. Never forget. :)
