Twenty Ten fun

I am trying different options in the new Twenty Ten WordPress theme, so don’t be surprised if the site appearance changes from visit to visit.

In particular I am looking at:

  • Using a child theme for customizing
  • The new menus feature
  • Header options

Butterfly

Guess I got lucky again, took this in my parent’s yard on July 12. I tried to get a photo of the underside of the wings too, but it flew away.

We are in the middle of summer now. The first crop of red raspberries is almost done, but there are buds for the fall crop showing on the new canes. The alpine strawberries seem to be doing well in the warmer weather with plenty of rain. Have picked some of the largest ones since I planted them.

Registration closed

For a number of years I have been getting a very large proportion of spam registrations to real people. So it is with regret that I have decided to close WordPress registration on this blog. You may still subscribe through Feedburner. If you wish to contribute content (e.g. submitting posts), please contact me privately.

WordPress Contact Form

WordPress Contact Form 7 is one of the more popular WordPress plugins on Dreamhost according to one of their recent blog posts.

I have been using the mail form provided by Dreamhost for some time, you can see both in action on the genealogy page I added recently.

Here is the default configuration:

    Your Name (required)

    Your Email (required)

    Subject (required)

    Your Message

    Will be interesting to see how a form comes through on the RSS feed to Facebook and other social sites. Facebook users, click the “view original post” link if it doesn’t come through.

    Links pages, oops…

    Looks like the new Twenty Ten theme for WP 3.0 does not contain a template to display links as a page. So, for now you must use the widget in the column.
