ICodeLayouts.com Coming Soon

Posted on by

I am finally going to put one of my oldest domains to use. Its just been hard getting back into the working mode ever since I came back from Europe and I think its time to get some things rolling again for me.

I am announcing the start of I Code Layouts. Simply put, I will be coding web layouts and offering other web layout services such as PSD to WordPress conversions and PSD to xHTML conversions. The expected turnaround for these projects are generally a day or two and sometimes they are a lot quicker.

As usual, web standards are coming into play and all the layouts spit out by my trusty dreamweaver and photoshop will be xHTML and CSS valid. I am hoping to get a few solid clients to use my service and then expand out into something larger.

I am planning on developing a client system with icodelayouts.com and my other domain icodescripts.com which is currently expired… That reminds me to go renew it asap before it gets deleted. Anyways, with the client system, I will be using a custom panel where my clients can access either site and manage projects and such. It might be apart of my CMS that possibly will be released publicly or for a small fee.

One of my good friends, and recent clients Ryden Rizzo will be whipping up a layout for me. Hoping to get the site fully launched and serving by the end of the week. Already served one client under this name, only a handful more to go!

And if you ever forget just remember… I Code Layouts.

A Little Taste of Europe

Posted on by

This was a group picture taken outside of Toledo, Spain.  This was one of the best parts of my Spring Break that was spent in Europe.  Toledo is such a beautiful place and it is surrounded by walls and a river.  It was fun driving to the top of the city and then walking all the way back down to the bottom.  It was chilly and nice outside, can’t complain.

Plans for the Weekend

Posted on by

So I really don’t have any plans for the weekend. I just remembered that I am going out to dinner in about 30 minutes to this restaurant called Ninja. Its a sushi thing and I am going with a few folks that I went to Spain & Italy during spring break with. I have to tell you guys about that actually, it was really fun! I will possibly upload some photos or something in near future.

Now on 2.5 – Back in Action!

Posted on by

So I finally decided that I am going to start blogging again. I have not posted on this blog for over a year yet it still receives so many hits! Mostly from my friends from school who are doing things on the computer that they are not allowed to but I can’t complain; I do it too.

I just upgraded the WP Blog to 2.5 and it is really looking nice on the inside. For those who want to check it out for themselves, check the wordpress site out.

So I hope to be making more posts in the future, so cya for now.

WordPress Upgrade AGAIN! Now running 2.0.7

Posted on by

So I guess WordPress has really decided to make the 2.0.7 update before they go to the new WP 2.1.  I am a bit surprised because I thought that they would of not made that change and wait it out until 2.1

Luckily for me, I have finished the WP upgrader module that I was writing and I ran it to upgrade to 2.0.6 a couple days ago, which was very successful by the way!  Since the folks over at WordPress only edited a few files, I will just make the file upgrades instead, and get my hands dirty.

Sad part is that it hasn’t even been 2 weeks since the 2.0.6 update.

Recently a bug in certain versions of PHP came to our attention that could cause a security vulnerability in your blog. We’re able to work around it fairly easily, so we’ve decided to release 2.0.7 to fix the PHP security problem and the Feedburner issue that was in 2.0.6. It is recommended that everyone running WordPress 2.0.6 or lower upgrade to this new version.

Because this is a much smaller update than previous versions, you do not have to update all of WordPress’ files if you’re upgrading from version 2.0.6. Here is the list of files that have changed since 2.0.6:

  • wp-admin/inline-uploading.php
  • wp-admin/post.php
  • wp-includes/classes.php
  • wp-includes/functions.php
  • wp-settings.php
  • wp-includes/version.php

We know it sucks to have a release only 10 days after our last one, but we think it’s important enough for your blog to be secure to do it, and hopefully only having to change a few files will make the upgrade easier than normal.

Here are the changes that have been made since 2.0.6:

  • Security fix for wp_unregister_GLOBALS() to work around the zend_hash_del_key_or_index bug in PHP 4 versions less than 4.4.3 and PHP 5 versions less than 5.1.4 with register_globals set to “On.”
  • Feeds now properly serve 304 Not Modified headers instead of mismatched 200/304 headers (a.k.a. the FeedBurner bug).
  • Backport of another 304 Not Modified fix from WordPress 2.1
  • Deleting WordPress Pages no longer gives an “Are You Sure?” prompt.
  • After deleting a WordPress Page, you are now properly redirected to the Edit Pages screen.
  • Sending an image at original size in Internet Explorer no longer adds an incorrect “height” attribute.

And just as a reminder, the next major version of WordPress (2.1) is due out by the end of the month, but the 2.0 branch of WordPress will continue to be maintained for several years.
