It took a long time, but I now have my blog running WordPress 2.3 and my theme has been updated to go along with it. If there is one thing that I love about the Web 2.0 style now, it's that everything gets tags. So, I was originally planning to get a tag plugin, but I read about some of them and they sounded quite complicated, and I assumed that they would be useless when this update came out. Luckily for users of tag plugins, WordPress 2.3 can import all the tags into the integrated tag library, though I wasn't entirely wrong. So, as you've probably noticed, there is now a line under my original post meta for tags, and clicking on one of them brings you to a page that shows the top three tags and links you to my Tag Cloud page. I decided not to have the entire tag cloud above the tag archives, it looked too cluttered and disorganized. It could be worked into some blogs, though, and putting in on a sidebar for just that page would look great. Check out the WordPress Codex page for the tag cloud WP Tag for how to go about doing that.

When you use someone for a service, especially a company that only does one thing, you expect it to be done right. You don't have to remind a car repair shop to fix your car, so could someone explain to me why I'm on the phone with Purolator, trying to find out why they didn't ship my Xbox yet? It's been almost two weeks since I shipped that, I got the box and dropped it off the same day -- their track record confirms that. What it also shows, unknown to me until this morning, is that it hasn't left that drop-off center yet! These past two weeks, I've been under the assumption that my box was in the mail, but it turns out that it is still sitting where I left it. On top of that, I can't even call and ...

Well, I'm working on updates to my blog theme. It has never really been finished, and if you've visited recently you may have noticed the icons I put in. I know it's typical to use FamFamFam icons at this point, but I love 'em and I've never really had a chance to use them yet. I'm also working on making my own icons for my Lifestream, which started because the Twitter favicon is too low quality. I haven't re-done the Digg icon yet, but the Last.fm one needs a re-do and the Red Ring of Death icon for my Xbox Live status is just a re-colour. I still have a few items left on my todo list, though. Replace "?" image with something else for default Gravatars. Fix comment meta icons. Change comment meta on archive, search and category to match the index page. Finish off Lifestream icons. Add content to the About page 2, ...
