I have updated Deardiary.Net to allow posting using the Atom and XML-RPC protocols… Blah blah I know 😉 suffice to say, you can now download the WordPress app from the iPhone app store and manage your diary with it. The URL should be simply http://www.deardiary.org and use your normal username and password. If you have…
There is a feature of WordPress which I consider to be a bug. I’m tempted to raise it as such with them, but I’m seeking clarification at this point. Nonetheless, it manifests this way; New user signs up for site. Everything goes well. Visit your new diary, the layout is all messed up. That’s because…
I have created and uploaded a new feature yesterday. It was pointed out to me on the Facebook group that it was quite difficult to determine who to search for because usernames don’t really feature quite as much as they used to in the old system. In the old system, one diary was associated with…
I’ve also changed the Design Palette to be under the DearDiary menu in the admin section instead of under the Genesis menu. So if you’re used to it being under the Genesis menu, I apologise 🙂 It’s primarily because it’s more of a DD customization now and is obviously used to change how your diary…
I’ve switched the DearDiary.Net main diary ( this one, which you can get to by clicking the little DearDiary.Net… text in the top left of any diary ) to use the Genesis framework. In this way, I’m able to take advantage of all the goodness that is Genesis for this diary too. It was kind…
Some discussions on the Facebook group, and comments within the site, led me to an outstanding idea (thanks MissTick!) which was to put a yellow notification bar at the top of your screen when new people have requested to become friends. This was, I believe, an awesome idea and as such has today been implemented…
I’ve fixed the Genesis Design Palette plugin, so you can now (if you’re using the Genesis theme) easily modify a number of different things on your diary, such as text colour, link colours, sizes of headers etc. You will need to activate the plugin from your dashboard if you’re using Genesis as I can’t do…
The old system has been replaced. Now there are two steps to add a new friend, the first is on the original screen but this is now a SEARCH box. The drop down will still drop down if it finds people while you type, but you do not have to click on what it finds….
DearDiary.Net has today purchased a license for the Genesis Framework, which is a WordPress framework that enables rapid development of new themes and theme features. I’ve had a bit of a play with it and it looks extremely promising, to the point where I’m not going to bother trying to build my own theme for…
I am trialling a new ‘anti-spam’ solution for diary sign-ups. Until I get it right there is a good possibility that you may not be able to create a new diary on the site. If that happens, I apologise. Please do let me know so I can investigate it further. On the other hand, if…
