I don’t even know where to begin with the MeanKids/Kathy Sierra/Allan Herrell thing. It was just pointed out on Problem Adults, where I saw a disturbing screenshot of the comments made by Rev ED.
But I do know Alan Herrell… and that ain’t him making those comments as “Rev ED”.
When I first arrived on the web scene in the late 90′s, thinking I was some badass, I was snubbed by most of the Techno-Elite. The Head Lemur (as well as Jeffrey Zeldman) was one of the few who were kind to me. We’ve spoken on the phone many times… and he’s offered nothing but encouragement to me.
One thing about my almost-10-year friendship with the Head Lemur… He doesn’t bullshit you. He tells it like it is and he doesn’t mince words.
And he sure as hell doesn’t hide behind a screenname when he speaks his mind.
The posts on Unclebobism is so clearly a frame job. It’s his pic with words that sound nothing like him.
Kool & the Gang is a highly successful American R&B/soul/funk/disco group. They originally formed in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1964. They went through several musical phases in their career. They started out as practitioners of R&B and funk, eventually went through a phase where they were a smooth disco ensemble, and wound up the successful period of their career recording tunes that were a mixture of pop and R&B.
Kool & the Gang is one of the most sampled artists of all time.
I have comments again, YAY ME!
Not that anyone leaves comments… buuut…
When I upgraded to WordPress2, I had a hard time making a flexible theme, so I ditched that idea and decided to parse the code myself (like I did with the original WordPress). The problem? My individual posts no longer had comments. (UH OH!)
Open your wp-content/themes/[yourtheme]/header.php file
Put in your skinning information in the header like you usually do.
Open your wp-content/themes/[yourtheme]/footer.php file
Hard code the variable information that you need, particularly this part…
<?php
$total_skins = 3;
$default_skin = 3;
if (isset($_REQUEST['newskin'])) {
$newskin=(int)$_REQUEST['newskin'];
if ( ($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins) ) $newskin=$default_skin;
$skin=$newskin;
} elseif (isset($_COOKIE['skin']))
$newskin = $_COOKIE['skin'];
elseif (isset($_REQUEST['newskin'])) {
$newskin=(int)$skin;
if ( ($newskin<1) OR ($newskin>$total_skins) ) $newskin=$default_skin;
} else $newskin=$default_skin;
include(‘/home/yoursite/public_html/skins/$skin/footer.php’);
?>
</body>
</html>
That part is the one that tells your theme what skin the reader has selected using. (It’s slightly changed from the Domesticat version as you can’t set cookies in the footer.).
For whatever reason, WordPress kills all your variables right after it does its thing. You need to re-code your variables in the footer as well.
So good to see the Queen of Hearts back on Problem Adults.
We didn’t have the capabilities and know-how that we have now, so her Majesty was forced to post her column in message boards, now she can do it right in her own section.
So, do you write? Tutorials? Erotica? Columns?
Well we WANT YOU! With the newly-remodeled Problem Adults v3.0, we’re going back to our original vision of making the site a one-stop-shop for all your web needs. It’s a great place to promote yourself and even escape the pressures of everyday life.
What we lack in pay (none, actually) we more than make up for in international fame.
More details in my Zoints blog entry over there.
What you can’t see it? Guess you have to join us then, huh?
Yeah, there’s always a catch with me.
You should know that by now.
