I'm enjoying working with WordPress again and mucking about with PHP. It's been a while, so I'm more than a little rusty. It's like riding a bike though, right?

The page is a WordPress category page (with a little bit of extra formatting that will show only on the Drac Ant category archive). Simple enough, but what bakes […]

Feedburner is very easy to set up on your site if you use the WordPress FeedBurner Plugin. If you plan to use this you must use the WordPress permalinks structure, which is all well and good if you've just started a new blog and can switch to that structure without affecting any existing posts on […]
