All last month I have been working on our family’s website dekrygersfortogo.com, but just this last week I finished. The new changes are: a new slider, updated content (for our new location in Mango), and a new theme based on _s or Underscores. More changes are to come, but here you can see them.
Jetpack 2.2: Likes
I know from myself and from experience that a person is more likely to like something than to comment. Likes have been a feature of Jetpack that I have been looking for a while. Now I have my wish. Jetpack 2.2 was just released with this new feature along with a Readmill widget and a bulk spam feature for forms. It also fixed 22 bugs.

Do you really care about comments?
Anyone who is a blogger has thought about comments. Some worry and fuss when comments don’t come (that’s me) others don’t even care but have only enabled them just for the fun of getting feedback. I dislike not having comments. I love having a user spend a couple seconds of his time writin a brief response to what I wrote. How about you? Please comment

New other blog
I am launching (as of today) my second blog this new blog will be limited to the happenings of our life. But you ask, “Why would you do that if you already have one here?” Because anyone who doesn’t care about technology won’t want to read all the musings here.

I saw button styles change from oval to square, new default theme, Twenty Twelve, a new color picker, styling changes on TinyMCE, and most of all new media uploads here is the gallery building page. Image removal and easier captions were added. Check it out:

New Design
Ever look at a website and think, “The designer wasn’t even trying.” This site is guilty of just that. So, I got the _s theme and now have a new design. Take a look.
3D Tag Cloud
I recently activated a tag cloud plugin know as WP-Cirrus. It displays an awesome 3D tag cloud. It doesn't look good on the plugin page, but if you download it and try it out, it has sweet functionality. I discovered it through WebDevStudios's sidebar in September 2011. If you right click it tells you that it is powered by WP-Cumulus, and you say "Cool, I want it! Right?" right? Well not for some people. So, I decided to look for something else. I found WP-Cirrus right then. It was powered by Javascript, not Flash. But I put it off until now.
I definitely liked the plugin, and have it on Read More...
