@five15design I used to do a lot of calligraphy as a kid and grew an interest in typography from that.

@five15design Definitely not sarcasm. I love typography. I'm unfortunately not very good at it though.

@vaultpress A higher fee would be okay, say US$40/month. But definitely can't afford standard fee per site for multi-site setup.

@five15design Thanks for suggesting "Helvetica". It is an excellent movie and was well worth 80 mins of my time.

@dannygsmith Who is "he"?

@alanmairson Thanks. That \sums up what I've figured out so far too. BackupBuddy is good. VaultPress is better, but you pay more for it.

Question @photomatt : Did you realise @bradleypotter was asking about @VaultPress? I just realised that wasn't mentioned in the tweet.

@bradleypotter Based on @photomatt 's response I'd favour BackupBuddy for most sites due to the cost advantage. It's not as feature rich tho

@vaultpress For a multi-site WP install do we just pay once? Or for EVERY site on that install? cc @bradleypotter @alanmairson

@alanmairson I 1st tried BackupBuddy yesterday so don't have much to compare it to. Seems awesome so far. Haven't tried using it with S3 yet

@bradleypotter Any idea if a multi-site installation counts as more than one site? If not, then it's not so bad 🙂

@AlanMairson Have you tried BackupBuddy? Is VaultPress better?

RT @AlanMairson: @scottros Got my @vaultpress Golden Ticket yesterday & had a seamless backup. Wish I could say as much about various S3 …

@anthonycole is my new server hero. Big thumbs up for fixing my stupid problems 😀

I think the server gods have decided to smite me

@robmuldoon Nice to see you back in the land of the living! Will you be running for parliament again?

@timrobinsonnz Welcome to Twitter 🙂

@andreasnrb Thanks 🙂 I'll track down a copy of a WooTheme to look at then.

Anyone know of a WordPress plugin or theme which allows you to upload images via it's options page?

@anthonycole I suspect it will disappear soon.

Another terrific informational post on custom post-type's from @justintadlock … http://bit.ly/cYV7Wu

@williamsba Yup. But I assume their dedicated box service would be even better.

@williamsba I haven't tried their dedicated boxes, but the service from @uberhost for their VPS's is awesome.

@mildfuzz Best to avoid that since it's not compatible with IE6.

@mildfuzz div div { /* styling here */ }

Mental note: Proof-read before posting on @alicam 's blog. Ended up posting the opposite of what I intended to!

@alicam No problem. I made something similar a while back, but yours seems much better … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/?p=399

@wptavern What do you mean? You can definitely add a category dropdown to the WP3.0 nav system – or perhaps I am misunderstanding?

@GeezMum Sounds awesome

@AnthonySterling I'm not sure I can answer that without more information sorry.

Dang it, I need to remember to edit my subject titles when posting to wp-hackers!

Plugin for rapid testing of RTL language support in WordPress themes … http://bit.ly/9vSeQ1

@danmilward No, it's not a plugin, although I might turn it into one eventually. It's currently just part of my sites theme.

@danmilward As of about 10 mins ago I use custom post-types for the slider on my home page … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/

Thanks to @uberhost, we now have https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/ running on a ninja fast 1 GB RAM VPS 🙂 (DNS still propagating)

@randyjensen No. That is not possible at this time.

I wish more designers would provide as much typographic info. with their PSD's as @five15design does. Makes my life a lot easier.

@jmuenster Windows. Handbrake seems to be working well so far.

@matthancocknz Windows. I'm currently trying Handbrake as per advice from @jsauni. Seems to be working well so far.

@jsauni Thanks for the suggestion 🙂

Any opinions on what the best (free) software for ripping a DVD to AVI is?

@Skitzzo I think you misunderstood my last tweet as your reply doesn't make sense.

@Skitzzo Being 100% GPL and being 100% GPL compliant are two separate things.

@photomatt Since Thesis is only split GPL, perhaps you should use it for just a day? Someone is sure to port your theme to Thesis for free.

@pearsonified How come you changed license?

RT @danmilward: @pearsonified good move – still doesnt make you one of the 3 most influential WP people though 😉

@StaceyClermont Not telling. I'm not sure if it's a mission critical vulnerability. But I certainly managed to mess things up a bit.

Managed to hack my own account on a very popular website. Kinda disturbing how easy it was. Security report filed with their admins.

@JellyBeen I've offered to help @wptavern with integrating WP theme with vBulletin theme, but seems Jeff isn't interested.

Just got WordPress widgets working in an SMF forum 🙂 I want to try it with phpBB or vBulletin but haven't found anyone interested yet.

@auxanocreative Good point. Those could be useful for static sites too. I'll look at adding that in as an option for a future version.

@ShutUpFoodies What plugin are you referring to?

@SaratheMPA Yay! A fellow kiwi hockey player on Twitter 🙂

@ShutUpFoodies It looks like the_author_firstname() is an old depreciated function … http://bit.ly/ciCjJL

@ShutUpFoodies I've never heard of the_author_firstname() before. Try the_author_meta() instead.

@ShutUpFoodies That last suggestion does not allow you to keep the original author names. It just makes sure that SOMETHING appears there.

@ShutUpFoodies If author issue isn't cause by theme, then use WP exporter, then reimport and assign posts to a new author during the import.

@ShutUpFoodies Your achives don't have links to the posts either … http://www.shutupfoodies.com/?m=197004. That's a theme issue.

@ShutUpFoodies If it does it with news posts too, then it's because you don't have the author template tag in your theme.

@ShutUpFoodies Possibly. I need to know what the question is before I can try to answer it though!

@SocialSammy I told him I'd probably have something for him last night. By "Probably" I meant "Definitely".

Hmmm, I told someone I'd have their theme ready by this evening. It's now 11:51pm and I have at least 3-4 hours work left 🙁 🙁 🙁
