Wordpress 2.0 is a mod_rewrite Hijacker

· ·

Anthony brought up what appeared to be a problem with Falbum the other day. Well, this morning I did some investigating and I've worked out the problem is not actually Falbum, but rather with Wordpress.

It appears as soon as you include the wp-blog-header.php file into any non-Wordpress file, Wordpress will hijack the mod_rewrite rules and cause the non-Wordpress rules to…

Now We're XHTML 1.1 Compliant

· ·

I've now improved my coding to the point it now complies with XHTML 1.1 for all pages except the calendar. I'm still working on the calendar, but as I don't actually generate this code, I've got to write a script to hack the pages as they're updated.

Version 3.0 is Here

· ·

Version 3.0 is HereWelcome to Col's Weblog Version 3.0. As you can see, we've got a whole new colour scheme, a slightly wider layout and way more functionality.

Well Almost 100's - valid XHTML

· ·

I've had the new design up and running for a while, and decided I'd actually check the XHTML validity... I am advertising the site is being 100% valid XHTML (right at the bottom of the page). Well, I was duly surprised... the only thing that isn't 100% compliant at this time is my calendar, but that's kind of understandable as …
