Geo plugin for WordPress
Another geo-related post.
I’ve installed the Geo plugin for WordPress which attaches geographic coordinate information to posts and the blog as a whole.
This blog is currently located at latitude: and longitude: (these values are generated dynamically from the settings of this blog which the plugin manages) and here’s a map.
UPDATE
And because I know shit about php I can’t work out how to display the values that I mention in the post.
UPDATE
Seems the functions only work outside of the posts. So I’ve added the ‘Location’ strip to the header which accomplishes the same effect.
dealing with the sidebar
As I’ve mentioned before, the sidebar is way too cluttered so I’ve done something about it.
I’ve moved some of the more straightforward lists up to just below the header to tidy them up. I’m going to do something with a photographic image, which will be quite a departure from my normal flat colour schemes. Ooh, radical!
These new strips will also keep the body of the page much cleaner for adapting it to a photoblog layout. I want to convert the calendar into a strip of numbers, rather than a table, but as far as I can tell the PHP for creating this is a mite complicated. I’m sure I’ve seen it done this way somewhere else, it’s just a matter of finding that site again and seeing how it was done.
re-floor
The builders returned and managed to get the fridge and washing machine back under the work surface by cutting out the lino. They did a pretty good job of filling the gaps left over with bit of extra lino. Happy now.
