New blog theme

In the end I decided to change the blog theme. The previous one was kinda old and I kept having to hack it; besides, it didn’t have support for the new features present in WordPress 2.7. This new theme is a bit more clear and clean, I only had to edit it a little bit. Slight changes in the CSS style and the header image. I used a small part from a wallpaper I made some time ago, when I had time to play with Photoshop. I hope that in the near future I will be able to dust off my Wacom tablet ;-) If someone is interested, the wallpaper is below:

If there are any issues I missed with the theme, please let me know. Thanks!

Scribefire test

I found another blogging client, a Firefox add-on Scribefire. Which is kinda nice since I always have Firefox opened anyway.

Later edit: Hmm, not so great afterall. The image uploading does not work.

Victory! Kinda …

I finally managed to get it working with the Language Switcher plugin. When I write the post I just use special tags to enclose english and romanian sections. It works, it’s just that it looks a bit weird in the visual editor, the tags are seen in the text. Oh well ..

For blogging on the desktop PC, I mapped some of the function keys on my G15 keyboard to the opening and closing tags so I can write posts faster. On the laptop, I guess I have to add some buttons on the visual editor toolbar.
