WordPress Tags, maintenance
I have some notes on the wordpress schema; I am trying to tidy up my tag list on my blog, there’s a shed load of tags which only have one entry in the database, there are some spelling mistakes and some inconsistency in the use of spaces and plurals. But I might leave those with only one use on the blog/wiki for the search engines. There are 56 which have become orphans. I have documented the image credit at the bottom of the article. Here are my notes … Continue reading “WordPress Tags, maintenance”
Minnow theme for WordPress
One of my favourite WordPress themes is the ultra clean minnow theme, it has not been updated for a while but its wordpress codex page is here, and I have made a copy of my theme directory. To see a thumbnail, see below/overleaf … Continue reading “Minnow theme for WordPress”
Email Verify
Another GDPR requirement is that when signing up for something, the publisher needs to verify that the email given is genuine and belongs to the user. WordPress offers several plugins; there are other ways, here are my notes … Continue reading “Email Verify”

Red or Blue
A poll, using YOP Poll between Red & Blue
Easy Index
While experimenting with YOP Poll, I came across Easy Index, which looked rather pretty, although it depends on on the featured images chosen. I made a category index to see how it looked. This might be better if one of the first plugins chosen as it would allow you to chose the featured images more carefully. It seems they’re not too keen on transparencies either as they are displayed as black.
Polling in WordPress
I checked out YOP Poll this evening; a wordpress polling plugin. Here are my notes. Continue reading “Polling in WordPress”
Flickr Slide Shows
I am experimenting with making photo shows from my flickr archive, for my wordpress blogs. . I originally used flickrslideshow.com and have today looked at https://flickrembed.com as the flickrslideshow was failing strangely. In June 2020, I decided I need to explore the plugin route also.
The embedding widget renders on the phone, bother!

WordPress in the Cloud
WordPress is famously available at wordpress.com as Software-as-a-Service. What should one do if one comes to the conclusion that this isn’t what you need? The two obvious solutions are one of the cloud providers and I should say I personally use one&one for various reasons. Continue reading “WordPress in the Cloud”
YANF web calendar
I came across https://tockify.com, it seems to be a calendar implemented as Software-as-service and access via http. It could be useful for wordpress (or other CMS) sites where plugins are unavailable but html is.
