I can only assume this happened when I upgraded to WordPress 1.5, but three of my old entries somehow lost their “publish” status. Instead of going into “draft” status, they simply had no status at all and ended up floating around in the ether. I was able to fix it by manually editing the SQL table. If you’ve upgraded to 1.5 recently, you may want to go back and see if you’re missing a few entries.

WordPress Pages
I’ve converted my “Info”:http://joeyday.com/info page into a WordPress “Page” (I also added a new paragraph about the wiki). Converting it required me to build a new page.php template, but that was relatively easy. I had fun adding custom fields to my pages so that each page I build can have its own title and tagline, following my “-ation” word and definition pattern. I also use a specific body id on each of my pages to facilitate styling the navbar, so that was put into a custom field as well.
With the help of a “slick plugin”:http://ryanduff.net/wp-plugins/wp-contactform, I’ve also created a “Contact”:http://joeyday.com/contact page. I’m really getting tired of spam email, and having a contact page allows me to pull all my email addresses off the site indefinitely.
The WordPress 1.5 Dashboard
I must say, the dashboard in WordPress 1.5 is a welcome addition. I’m not sure what all the hype is about, though, since Movable Type has had the same thing for as long as I can remember.
I had a few quibbles with how it was originally configured, so I’ve made a few modifications to mine.
WordPress 1.5
I’m upgrading the site to WordPress 1.5. I’ve hit some snags getting comments to work with the hacks I introduced in version 1.2. I’m trying to iron them all out, but in the mean time, please bear with me.
I may keep it set on the Kubrick theme (except when I’m testing things, of course) until I get my usual theme working correctly.

LDS Linker is a WordPress plugin that changes any LDS scripture reference into a hyperlink pointing to the Internet Edition of the LDS Scriptures.

Software is bound to have bugs, and my code is no exception (in fact, it’s probably buggier than most). After seeing my plugin in action on a few blogs, I noticed some D&C references weren’t getting linked.
It seems that, by default, WordPress encodes ampersands with the & entity rather than the & entity I was expecting. My Textile 2 plugin uses &, so the problem never came up in my testing.
Without further ado, here’s the new version:
