  • default gravatar imageDisconnected 1.3 is out. It includes support for WordPress 2.3's native tagging, and preliminary support for WordPress 2.5's get_avatar() function. I know I said I'd never support gravatars1, but since they're going native in 2.5, there's no point in fighting anymore. At least once 2.5 is released, I can write a plugin to use MyBlogLog Avatars instead.
  • The design vitality WordPress Theme Contest ended, with some actual results. I'm kind of shocked. But then, they did add their own spammy footer link to the themes, which is also shocking, but more what I expected from the outset.
  • The Lunarpages contest, however, has not yet published results. This is because, like the many wordpress theme contests before it, it has ended in bitterness and accusations.
  • charcoal theme for habariThere's a new theme for habari, I think it's the first fully original theme. It's a beauty, evoking the sleek monochromatic habari dashboard, and including a bunch of custom plugins. It's called Charcoal, and it's hosted on google code, although the code isn't up there, so there's no SVN updating.

    1. Since they provide identity without authentication, a sure recipe for abuse

Fortunately, bluehost now has default php.ini1 , which I installed, and saw that not only had pdo.so moved, but pdo_mysql.so is installed but commented out. I removed the comment, and habari runs just fine.

    Next trick was to import my wordpress install. Importers all live in plugins, so while I was on the plugin page, I also activated the pingback plugin.

    I apologize to everyone who received a ping from me while my posts were importing. Feel free to delete them.

    The effort of pinging everything as it imported killed my import prematurely, so only there wasn't as much chaos as their could have been. Running the import again, sans pingbacks, worked fine, though. As I told Options, I won't be using habari to run archgfx at present, since i have some 30-odd pages that don't really behave yet, but at least I can hack about with the software for now.


    1. In CPanel, under PHP Config, there's an "Install Master PHP.ini File" button
