Uh, upgrades
Today WordPress 1.5 was released, and in a grand moronic display, I ran and deleted all my files and uploaded the new ones without reading the documentation. I figured it would have been the same as other upgrades, but nope. They introduced this theme system, so after figuring out what happened, I procceded to converting my current design into a theme so that I could use it. I think I’m finally done.
Make sure to hit refresh on your browser, so that you cache the new css; otherwise stuff might look wierd.
Other changes, I moved login widget to the right of the top bar, and it will now notice when you are logged in (and tell you so). Also, if you are registered and logged in, when you post a comment it will pull your info from your profile, so you’ll only be presented with the comment text area. I also started using mod_rewrite to get the php links to look a bit more permanent.
I added an implementation of the time_since() function, so instead of the specific date and time when the comment was made, it will now display how long ago since the time of the actual post was that comment in question posted. Might not be as user-frieldly as I thought. Basically the same codebase also gives us the time of the day that is now found after each post (x at night, x in the morning).
I’m considering making it so that you must be logged in (and hence, registered) to post a comment. Comment spam is becoming a real pain in the ass. I also might extend this user stuff a bit more. Later.
