Yes, it has been a while. I hate neglecting my numerous projects but with graduation just four weeks away, I can’t help it. Anyway, I just released a new WordPress plugin called Thumbnail Updater that updates your Media Library image sizes whenever a new one is added, but you will have to see the previous post for more information. The tutorials I have coming up in the next four-to-six weeks are:
- A Photoshop tutorial on how to create scrapbooking-style buttons for your web-page, similar to the ones I released on DeviantArt five months ago.
- A Poser 8/Pro Cel-Shading tutorial that I’ve been working on since—gasp!—last summer. Will also include a video.
- A WordPress cheat-sheet for theme designers and plugin creators.
- A PHP Date format cheat-sheet.
Since I’m on the subject of Poser, I was lucky enough to snag a copy of Poser Pro 2010 for $50 when it came out—being a beta program participant and having purchased Poser 8 last summer. Because of school, I haven’t had the chance to really use it but I did get a chance to play with it during spring break and 1.) Love the speed, and 2.) Hate the interface. The new interface was introduced with Poser 8 last summer. While a lot of people on the Rendo and Daz boards apparently love the new interface, I’m not such a huge fan of it. I actually miss the old interface, Poser Pro (2008) and prior.
As for Dumpster-fairy.com, when WordPress 3.0 comes out, there are going to be some major changes. The custom post-types and custom taxonomies—which has been around since 2.3—are going to encourage me to do a total reorganization of the site. Instead of organizing by categories, I can spread my content according to the post type: posts, for regular blog posts, tutorials, and resources. Actually, I can see the resources post-type as being a kind of extended version of the attachment post-type.
Now, if I can only survive the next four weeks!
Just a little test to see if FB Connect works.
