LightWord compatibility with IE 9

Posted by Pål Eie

The LightWord Theme for WordPress has some compaitiblity issues with IE 9. When you try to view a page using the LightWord them, all headers so for half a second, and then disappears. This happens both on single-page and main-page view. Luckily the solution is a quick fix!

The problem is a JavaScript file called cufon-yui.js located in:

wp-content/themes/lightword/js

Download the latest cufon-yui.js from GitHub:

https://github.com/sorccu/cufon/raw/master/js/cufon.js

And save it as cufon-yui.js in

wp-content/themes/lightword/js

Thats it!

Posted by Pål Eie

Flattr is reminiscent of Digg or perhaps Facebook Like buttons – but this time with real money. Here I give an introduction to what it is and how to use it, both as a web site owner and a user.

Code segments and syntax highlighting in Confluence

Posted by Pål Eie

Yesterday during a documentation session I wanted to add several SQL-queries in a Confluence post. Of course Confluence supports code segments with highlighting etc through the Confluence New Code Macro. It's easy enough to get started with the macro, but specifying parameters turned out to be very poorly documented. This post will hopefully help fill some of the gap!

Converting from Blogger to WordPress

Posted by Pål Eie

This week I started the hard shift from my old Blogger blog to my new WordPress blog on my new domain ISerialized.com. There are a couple of aspects of such a shift that makes this a hard decision to do:
  • Allot of hard work
  • Leaving the old familiar Blogger tool
  • Learning WordPress
  • Trying to convert my old Feedburner readers to my new domain
  • Making the shift without too much traffic loss

Luckily most of my traffic are from referring sites, so I guess with a little work and a couple of emails, I could redirect much of the traffic over to ISerialized.com. Beyond the statistical facts, what are my lessons learned from these last couple of days?!

Closing in on 20 000 reader on my article at CodeProject!!!

Posted by Pål Eie

Back in 2006 when I started working with .Net, I posted an article at The Code Project, where I wrote about Sending parameters at thread startup. My competence with .Net has grown rapidly since then, but I check back today to check my profile at The Code Project, and realized that my article was read 20 000 times!

Adding C# and ASP.Net to Blogger (Part 2)

Posted by Pål Eie

In one of my earlier posts I recommended using Windows Live Writer and the "Paste from Visual Studio" plugin to add code to your blog. But two days of struggling with layout I gave up, and stumbled upon the C# code formatter which is very easy to use!

Adding C# and ASP.Net code to WordPress

Posted by Pål Eie

In the case of WordPress, adding C#, ASP.Net and similar code is very simple. Just use the sourcode tag in the following way (discard the underscores):
