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.

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, ...

Firstly, I should state the obvious. My plans to navigate dotKenneth.com to a real hosting service are not going as quickly as planned. I'm going to work on it this weekend. Seriously. Progress on my WordPress theme has also been stalled after I realized that it sucked. Might have to use one that isn't my own until I finish a good one. This doesn't really bug me, the theme community is one of the appeals of WordPress. A thought occurs to me at this point. I don't really know where this blog is headed. I suppose I could go into details on my sudden obsession with Facebook. While I've been a member for a little while now, I've only become truly active within the past few weeks. Popularity of the site at my school is growing quickly, since the beginning of April we must have gained at least fifty ...
