Beautiful Ireland!

So much for the race against waste! It looks like more people are cottoning on to Bring Centres where you can recycle paper, cardboard, plastic and glass (but for 10 points, who knows where it goes once you dump it? And no, it’s not dublinwaste.ie!)
Pity they can’t even dump their rubbish properly. Where’s that survey says that Ireland is way down the list of clean countries? Go Irish People! Woo! We’re slobs!

WordPress Enclosures – embedded links

This is a small demo and announcement of changes to enclosures support in WordPress.
To help clear up the backend clutter I removed the “Enclosure” text field and enclosures are now created from files linked to in the post content. Files of type “video”, “image” and “audio” are enclosed by default.
Images:

Movies:

Audio:

(Audio from pro-american.. first hit for “george bush mp3”.. *shrug*)
The ACDC remix linked to above isn’t enclosed because the remote server returned “text/plain” so make sure your file server’s mime-types are set up properly!

The Sunday Times

It might actually be easier to read the Sunday Times online instead of buying it. Still, there is that hands-on feel, especially when you kick back, relax with newpaper in hand and get lost in another world.. Here’s some of my reads from last week (not all, I opened at least 2 dozen browser tabs looking at the above page!)

Previous Page, Next Page

The Previous Page, Next Page function works again in WPMU. Not sure what fixed it but it was likely some WordPress core change, probably the upgrade to the CVS version did it.
Anyway, to get it working, administrators should edit their wp-inst/.htaccess and add the following line (somewhere in the middle,I don’t think it really matters where!)

RewriteRule ^page/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /wp-inst/index.php?paged=$1 [QSA]

Now, edit your index.html template and add the following at the end of your content section, or wherever you want the links to appear:

{posts_nav_link}

That’s it! Refresh your browser and the links should appear! Oh, and you may notice I updated the photoblog plugin – it now links to the blog post about the photo, even when displaying random photos. So, feel free to comment, I love to hear what people think of my photos!
