I know I haven’t been posting much recently but I swear I haven’t gone into hibernation. I’ve been working on some javascript that I hope will make viewing the photos easier. Stay tuned.

The Copperleaf Photolog Plugin has been updated to fix a bug with the “Photo of the Day” support.

The Copperleaf Plus Theme has been updated to support tags in Wordpress 2.3.

The Copperleaf Photolog Plugin has been updated to support Wordpress 2.3 and I also added a button so you can bulk edit photos within a post.

Things might get a little messy for a couple of days. I’ve just upgraded to the latest version of Wordpress and a few of the utilities that are used have been broken or deprecated. I’m in the process of fixing everything and should be done in a day or so.

I’ve just activated a new theme that I have been working on. There are probably going to be some broken links, bugs and some modifications (like the masthead) but I’m pretty pleased with it so far. I developed this one from the ground up.

A couple of features that I like:

• the images in the masthead change (with ajax)
• the font size can be changed by the viewer and stored in a cookie

Things I need to fix:

• the About link
• the fonts in the category box
• the masthead
• the number of tags in the tag cloud
• spacing for short block quotes
• gap at the top of the footer in IE
• comment count on pages
• 404 page
• add a decay to the masthead images
• fix previous and next entry links at bottom of the page

I’ve made a number of small updates to the Copperleaf Plus theme.

• Added support for manual subscription if using subscribe-to-comments plugin.
• Changed from deprecated function wp_list_cats to wp_list_categories.
• Added support for “Identify External Links” plugin.
• Moved option defines to theme options page.
• Improved performance by reducing comment database queries.

I’ve made an update to the CPL plugin that will hopefully help with performance by querying images for all the posts on a page at one time and caching the results. The size of the cache can be configured on the options page. If the cache isn’t large enough for a particular page, then it performs normal queries like it did before.

Today I finally took the plunge and upgraded to Wordpress 2.1. This was a pretty significant upgrade but actually went well. I had to make some minor tweaks but nothing significant. Hopefully there will be a performance improvement. Let me know if you experience any problems.

Today I installed the subscribe to comments plugin which allows you to receive an email when new comments are posted.
