Moonlit Minds

Google Reader’s “Send to” Feature.

And for everybody “fighting” with making Send to link for WordPress in Google Reader, here are some simple instructions :

You open the settings in Google Reader and go Send to tab.

Create the custom link there as follows:

Name: Add to Any

URL: http://addtoany.com/wp-admin/press-this.php?u=${url}&t=${title}

Icon URL: http://addtoany.com/favicon.ico

Big thank you to Avi Joseph (@Avinio) for help with this one and to Stefan (@svartling) for inspiration.

Enjoy!

EDIT:

For Posterous users

URL: http://posterous.com/share?linkto=${url}

- and the favicon uri is:

(it works – I checked! Enjoy!

So, I’m experimenting here again. New WordPress theme – P2 suits very well importing items from Friendfeed with the help of Fresh From Friendfeed plugin.
Will see how it will go…
PS. I like possibility to post directly from the site – feels nice… And in-line editing works for me, too

I managed – following instructions from WordPress Codex site here, I manged few minutes ago to upgrade this humble “bloggie” of mine.

The upgrade was painless and relatively quick. My host, one.com , worked without the glitch – big thank you to One!

Everything seems to work so far. What’s next than? Well, I suppose that it’s the time to play with the new Hybrid theme, based on Hybrid theme framework  Child Theme – “Old School”.  It looks quite amazing (especially “under the hood”) but – it will take some time for me to adjust it to my vision of the site (a bit “gloomy”, greyish, personal blog). Anyway, new version of software deserves “new clothes”  .

My first impressions of WordPress 2.7? It’s great – I like new administration interface a lot. It seems much more “user friendly” and the overall look suites my taste. I also hope that the new feature – automatic upgrade – will work in the future. Not that the upgrade was too complex or difficult. It was just… stressful.

And as the last note – apologies to myself and others who visit occasionally my place here. I did not update Moonlit Minds lately because of few reasons. One of them being learning how to use social web applications like FriendFeed and Twitter (yes, it takes some time…) another – being busy with real life matters.

I hope to share some of the things I’ve learned about “social web” in the near future. Perhaps my sharing my experince and mistakes will help some other people who, as me, are new to this stuff.

I wish everybody nice day (remember: weekend soon!)

I just found another splendid site with very good WordPress tutorials – The WordPress Magazine.
Tutorials are well written, step-by-step and in understandable (even for “newbie”!) language. I recommend especially “Make a theme series”:

• Part 1 – The Loop
• Part 2 – A splash of colour
• Part 3 – Finding your style

I hope you will enjoy those articles as I did.

Very nice feature of coming soon new version of WordPress – ability to customize post editing screen. Watch the video below grabbed from Mark on WordPress where you can watch the bigger version of the screen-cast.

I find it really useful but I wonder will such nice changes also come to the editor itself? (I mean here better “on-screen” HTML and visual editor – well, I have to admit that I am using “It’s All Text” extension for Firefox now, configured to launch gvim…).
