Sorry guys, had to reenable registration on my WP blog. I’d start to get too much spam without it.

One Free Wordpress.com Invite!
Wordpress rocks, and when I found out Wordpress was working on a free service similar to blogspot or xanga, I jumped on and signed up for an invite. Now comes the time when they have chosen me to have an invite, but since I already have my own WP blog, I am going to give it away for free. Who’s cool? Who wants it? Who’s going to actually use it?
Whoever wants it can shoot me an email or contact me via any means that you know. I will need to know what username you want (will also becomes subdomain, username.wordpress.com), the blog’s title (short quip about the blog), and email address (password will be sent to that email). Act fast, this expires in a week.
Its broke. Its not.
For those that only read my xanga, most (if not all) of this will not apply to you. This is only for my main WP site. Today I’ve gone through the CSS and changed a few of the font colors to help make it easier to read, though I’ve still got a bit of tweaking to do to get it to my liking.
- added more books to my sidebar, including recently finished and those I’ve yet to read. Its powered by a pretty spiffy plugin for WP, called Now Reading. Check it out if you use WP.
- added two Netflix feeds by rewriting a small bit of PHP code in the MyNetflix plugin. One that shows the next 10 DVDs in my queue and one that shows the history of the last 10 DVDs, all via RSS.
- added links to xangas that friends use… (psst, xanga blows =P )
- set up a link and Technorati account for ultimate blogging fun. Its kinda like the social aspect of Xanga, only better. Also installed the Bunny’s Technorati Tags plugin to put tags in to certain posts that I feel are link-worthy.
I think that’s about it for now. Later I might add some more stuff, or remove others… whatever happens…. well, it happens. First thing I’m gonna have to do is tweak that CSS so it sits right with me.
end feed.

Xanga Cross-Post
If you are one of those that read my Xanga, and you see this post, then I have properly set up my Wordpress -> Xanga cross-post link. I can now post to my WP blog and it will then post the same to my Xanga.
Now, to import all my old xanga posts. Not sure if that’s going to be possible, and not a high priority.

Music Code
If you look to the right, you’ll see the Music “block” (I say block because I’ve used many different CMSs before). It came as a result of digging through different plugins listings and through trial and error, not finding what I needed. What I wanted was a simple way to output what music I was listening to at any given moment in Winamp to this WP site. After a bit of digging, installing, configuring, and a little bit of writing, I came up with this. (more…)
