Theming WPAuctions
Posted by: Owen on Thursday, 7th Feb, 2008
One of the great things about working with Hyder is that he’s a brilliant designer. I’m happy messing around with code and databases, and have no idea how to make front-ends look pretty, but he’s just star when it comes to CSS and graphic design.

WordPress 2.1 breaks Link Library
Posted by: Owen on Tuesday, 23rd Jan, 2007
Installing WordPress 2.1 worked fine in most cases, however it has broken one of the plugins I use on the site. The plugin is called Link Library and makes use of a depracated function called $wpdb->linkcategories. Actually it’s a depractated table in the database. WordPress 2.1 uses the same category table for links and posts. [...]
