It feels slick. <a href=\"http:\/\/multimedia.cx\/eggs\/wordcamp-2006\/\">Last weekend&#8217;s conference<\/a> encouraged me to look into the hundreds of plugins already written for WordPress. I quickly found a code syntax highlighter:<\/p>\n<p><script src=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/multimediamike\/5b10faefa2123912a942703f416a2c1a.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Hey, it even links to descriptions of standard functions!

For years, the code highlighting plugin mentioned above has been broken. Instead, I went through the blog and moved all of the code snippets on this site over to <a href=\"https:\/\/gist.github.com\/\">Github&#8217;s gist service<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I never cared much for the old theme on this blog, inappropriately named &#8220;Simple Green&#8221;, but it was one of the few decent themes that had a fluid layout. I don&#8217;t think the narrow fixed layout themes fit well for this site. I sometimes need to spread things out. Thankfully, WordPress hosts an amazing <a href=\"http:\/\/themes.wordpress.net\/\">themes resource site<\/a> that enables you to search for certain properties, such as fluid width. I have settled on this <a href=\"http:\/\/themes.wordpress.net\/columns\/2-columns\/132\/business-10\/\">Business 1.0 theme<\/a> and I even delved into the underlying code in order to customize it somewhat. I am truly proud of myself. For the curious, the banner icon <a href=\"http:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/Image:Nuvola_apps_multimedia.png\">comes from here<\/a>, the same icon set as the <a href=\"http:\/\/wiki.multimedia.cx\/\">MultimediaWiki icon<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally got around to upgrading all the blogs on this site from WordPress 1.5 series to 2.0.
