After a lot of coding, deliberation and testing, I'm happy to reveal the "new and improved" (of course it's improved, else it wouldn't be a very good "new" product would it? ;-) ) lildude.co.uk. For those who only read my site via the feed, you'll have to pop by and have a look around. So what's changed? Well, first and foremost, I've migrated from Wordpress to Habari following pretty much the same procedure I used previously and documented: Migrating from Wordpress to Habari. At the same time I create a completely new speedy theme which I've entitled "BlackForest". I ... Continue reading ►

Links of interest for 6 Jul 2010 - 23 Jul 2010: Oracle Solaris Support on HP Proliant and BladeServers - c0t0d0s0.org - I think Oracle may have seen the light and realised there's actually good money in offering Solaris support on 3rd party hardware. Time will tell if this is extended to other vendors. /dev/dump: Please Be Patient - Be patient folks. Looks like we'll be hearing a bit more from Oracle re OpenSolaris in early August. WordPress And Thesis Go To Battle. Mullenweg May Sue. - The outcome of this will be interesting and certainly tests the interpretation of... Continue reading ►

Michael C Harris sent this out to the habari-users group earlier today, and I thought I'd post it here to try and spread the word a bit and build up a bit of momentum. Let's give a little push towards releasing 0.7, by doing one thing today to move Habari forward. Here's a list of things that you could do. Look at the list of tickets left in the 0.7 release and see if you can move one forward (comments, patches, commits, tests). See the list of tickets at https://trac.habariproject.org/habari/report/14. Improve the release notes, which can be found at ... Continue reading ►

Well, it's time I started the slow Wordpress to Habari migration process again, this time with my last remaining Wordpress site: lildude.co.uk, aka this one. I'm now a member of the PMC and have been "eating my own dog food" ie running other sites on Habari, for quite some time so I really don't have an excuse not to migrate this site across. I could have done it a long time ago, but really didn't have the motivation. For some strange reason some of that motivation has sprouted from somewhere so I'm starting the process today. I say process as... Continue reading ►

Wow!!! This is pretty impressive. In about two hours, the guys in the Habari community whipped up a functioning Mozilla Account Manager plugin for Habari so users can now take advantage of the Mozilla Account Manager extension to login/logout of their Habari sites from anywhere on their site (no need to locate the login button/form). I believe Habari may have pipped Wordpress to releasing such a plugin too.

Ladies and gentlement, I'm pleased, no delighted, no ecstatic to announce that I have been invited to join the Habari Project Management Committee (PMC), also known affectionately as the Cabal, with immediate effect. I'm honoured and flattered to have been considered and invited and have duly accepted the invitation. A huge thank-you goes to the PMC for their consideration and invitation and I plan to continue making valuable contributions when and where I can. Thanks again.

I've been using, contributing and hacking around Habari for some time now and I thought it's about time I started sharing my knowledge in a series of "Habari HOWTO" posts. This is the first in what will hopefully turn out to be a large valuable list for Habari users. This question was posed on the habari-users group by manda: I'm looking to set my home.php to show only 2 posts, but leave all other entry.multiple.php show whatever default number I set in Habari options (whether it be 5, 10 or 20). Is there something simple to add to home.php to... Continue reading ►

I've just released the next revision of HB-Cumulus - rev 1.5. This release now takes full advantage of the new tags functionality in the latest Habari SVN code and also now uses SWFObject 2.2 for the embedding in "non-compatibility" (ie the default) mode. All the other changes are minor and include things like better HTML validation, formatting of the code itself and an update to the tagcloud flash file itself. Downloads are on the HB-Cumulus project page. As this is a new release, I've closed comments on the 1.4 post. If you encounter any problems, please ensure you update ... Continue reading ►

I've slowly been improving my main site since migrating to Habari and so far so good, however one thing I didn't like prevailed - SPAM!! This isn't anything Habari specific - I had loads of spam when using Wordpress - however on Wordpress I used Akismet so didn't really see it. I also soon gave up checking my spam queue in Wordpress as Akismet seemed to be doing a good job. With the move to Habari, I lost, or more precisely gave up Akismet and very quickly started seeing the spam I'd forgotten about. Time to fix that. Continue reading ►

Well, folks, it's taken a long time but I can now finally and proudly announce that my SmugMug Media Silo plugin for Habari is now available for download. The SmugMug Media Silo plugin implements a Habari media silo to access your SmugMug photos making it easy to insert images into posts and pages. You can also upload images directly to SmugMug from the Habari admin interface. You can find more details on what this plugin can do, and download it from the project page. If you encounter any problems, please feel free to let me know in this post and... Continue reading ►
