I’ve played with a few different web projects this week. As you can see if you are visiting my site instead of just reading the feed, I switched my theme. I’m using the a tweaked version of the wp-andreas09 theme. I’m also using the new Wordpress widgets now. They make switching around your sidebar(s) a matter of drop and drag instead of editing your theme. I also wrote a widget wrapper for the flickrrss plugin so I could still use my flickr photos in the sidebar. I’ve also experimented with the flash satay method of embedding flash. The videos on here now use FlowPlayer with this embedding method and my blog is standards compliant again. I’ve been in some discussions with the author of FlowPlayer to see how to work out any kinks in it.
Future projects include: making a video plugin for Wordpress that uses the FlowPlayer work I’ve been doing, making some stand-alone web software to manage and display videos/movies on a website, get back into creating a web-based ticketing software for my company, and finish up a new wordpress theme that I’ve been playing with. Should be fun.
Fun for you! Mostly I have no idea what you’re writing about.
Doesn’t really matter, I get to enjoy the finished projects. Have fun!
actually I most humans don’t know what he is writing about :0
Thanks for the links Dan, I think I am going to need to do a lot of studying in the. I need to get real tight with CSS and CSS2.
Great widget! Thanks! I found it via a Technorati search. It saved me a lot of time. One question: How did you managed to use your CSS styles for the pictures. When I use the widget, it just defaults to the plain formatting and I lose my CSS styles. Did you have to do any tweaking?
I’ve actually started using the widget from here:

Because it isn’t dependent on flickrrss. Either way, the styling came from my theme, I can’t take credit for it. I can try to find what CSS in my theme does it if you would like.
