Just thought I’d drop a quick post on about a great Wordpress plugin I’m using over at MMO-Symposium. The plugin in question is Twitme by Johnny Mast, which allows you to automatically post a summary of your blog post to twitter. I don’t have it installed here which I just realised as I’m writing this, but it will be soon.
Twitme allows you to customise the text summary which is sent to your twitter account and it also creates short url’s for you to allow more space for your twitter message. In the backend of your Wordpress blog you also have an area with additional features.

Now you could say I’m a bit bias as my cousin’s in the band but I went along to the Cardigan Arms in Leeds on Friday night to see Soul Circus live. I’d listened to some of their music on their myspace page but I have to say they sounded better live than the recordings on the website. I woke up the following morning with a couple of their songs still going round in my head, which is always a good sign. I’d recommend having a look at their upcoming gigs on myspace as it’s definitely worth a look if your in the area.
A total of 4 bands played on the night, I’m afraid I can’t remember the name of the first band. The 2nd band on were Kid Champion who put on a good set, despite the problems the sound guy was having making the vocal’s heard. This is another band that is definitely worth a listen and along with Soul Circus is a band I’d happily have on my Ipod.
The last band of the night, well I can’t tell you their name lets just say we went downstairs after a while as our ears were bleeding. Don’t get me wrong I like heavy rock/metal as much as anyone, but this was more like a wall of noise.

After spending most of our lunchbreaks chatting about football myself and two work colleagues decided that a blog where we could put our football related thoughts and ramblings out into the public domain, would be a good idea.
Frankly Football is our new football blog, the theme is still under construction but will be finished shortly. As with all blogs the aim of the theme will be that it’s easy to read above all else and will be using a custom style together with the popular k2 theme.

Thanks to Elaine an irealms.co.uk user, e-post now has a working multi-send to friends feature. 
It seems I’d missed out a bit of code when updating e-post, so thanks for letting me know Elaine.

After having a look around the themes section at Wordpress.org I thought i’d change the theme here to this nice shiny new one iNove. It’s much cleaner than the previous theme but as with anything new there may be as of yet undiscovered issues to solve. If you spot anything that looks a bit odd let me know.

I’d just like to apologise to anyone who’s downloaded e-post recently. I rewrote most of the code when the new irealms.co.uk went live and It turns out in the new .zip file I only zipped the e-post folder containing the inbox, send and open files.
I’ve just uploaded a new .zip with the correct files included which can be obtained from the Scripts page
