Not forgotten!

I promise, I have absolutely not forgotten about this blog. I went through a stitching slump until a week or two ago, but I’m back stitching now. Anyway, this post is really just so I can claim my blog over on Technorati. I took pictures of all my WIPs the other day, so be watching for a more in-depth post with those soon!

Stitching Gallery

Finally, I have made WordPress and Gallery2 integrate into this blog. So now, when you click on “Stitching Gallery” over on the sidebar there, you’ll see my stitching gallery integrated with the blog. This is very exciting because it means one less step for me when I want to post my WIP pictures, and so on. It’s been something I’ve been trying to sort out how to do and once I upgraded my installation of WordPress to the 2.something version, I was also able to upgrade my installation of Gallery2 to 2.1.

For those of you who are interested in this sort of thing, I’m using the WPG2 plugin to integrate everything. It was actually a very simple install and needed relatively little tweaking and configuring. For the theme, I’m using one called WordpressEmbedded. It’s a simple theme and needed some tweaking in the CSS to get it looking how I liked it, but for those of you who are looking for something simple and are comfortable enough digging through a little bit of code, this is the theme for you.

Anyway, there’s my work for the evening. Soon this blog will be absolutely perfect. Yay!

PSA: Gravatars

So I fnally got a little busy and added Gravatars to the site. When you comment on any of my posts, if you have a Gravatar account, use the same e-mail address that you used to sign up for the account, and your pretty icon will be shown. Neat, eh?

As far as stitching goes, I’ve been trying to sit down and work on a bit every day, and I actually signed up to do a round robin, so hopefully I’ll have more pictures to start showing here. Yay!
