Brian’s Threaded Comments Plugin for Wordpress

Say Something (1) April 23rd, 2008 Derek

I just wanted to point out, for those of you that haven’t notice, that I have installed Brian’s Threaded Comments Plugin for Wordpress.

For those that don’t know what this plugin does, it basically allows user’s to reply to someone else’s comment and then their comment is nested under that person’s comment so that it’s easy to tell which comments refer to which comments.

A lot of times, someone wants to reply to something someone else has said and that person might of been the second person to make a comment on the blog and your the tenth person, so the comments are kinda spread out a bit and its hard to tell which comment you were replying to sometimes.

This plugin basically changes all that and makes it quick and easy to reply and to tell who is replying to who.  It’s a great plugin and if you’ve never checked it out for your blog, I highly recommend doing so.

On a side note, I’ve also installed the subscribe to comments plugin which allows you to receive email updates when someone posts a new comment on a specific post.  That means if there is a post that you really enjoyed and you want to see what others think, you can subscribe to that particular post and receive updates when someone makes a new comment.

I installed this plugin because I had several readers request it.

Updating to Wordpress 2.5

Say Something (4) March 29th, 2008 Derek

Hey guys, over the span of the next little bit I’ll be updating the blog to wordpress 2.5 which was released earlier today if my memory serves me right! :P Anyways, if you notice anything out of whack please bear with me as I’ll be fixing it asap.

I’ll let you all know how it goes.

UPDATE: Wordpress 2.5 has been installed and it was actually quite easy. And I was worried something was going to go wrong. I’ll do an update on some of the new features once I get some time to test it out. I can already say though that I love the automatic update feature for plugins!

Click Consultants Makeover!

Say Something (6) March 9th, 2008 Derek

So, as you can very well now see, I have paid someone to do a blog design for Click Consultants. I went with Blog Theme Machine. I think they did a great job, and I’m proud of the theme and I think it looks great!

Of course… as you can see its not quite finished. I have some things to tweak here and there, some text to change, stuff to add, etc. So over the course of the next few days you will see things start to evolve until it is completed. Please be patient with me as I get everything on the up and up.

I’m wanting to do more with the blog and forums for this site. I would like to start posting at least twice a week if not more on the blog, and I have a lot of new content written up for the forums which I’ll be releasing very soon.

I also have some great blog posts coming up that I’ve been working on and I’m sure your all gonna enjoy. Anyways, I hope you enjoy the new theme and I hope you enjoy what Click Consultants is going to be growing into.

Let me know what you think of the new theme in the comments!
