Auckland Web Design Meet

Sunday, April 15th, 2007

If you live in Auckland you know it takes a lot to get the locals out. Aucklanders are far too busy doing bugger all to actually get involved with anything around their fair city.

Full posts in RSS with Wordpress2.1

So I just discovered a highly annoying new ‘feature’ in Wordpress 2.1. If you use the <- - more - - > tag in your posts (as I do) it will also truncate the post in your RSS feed.

Arse!

Anyway - thanks to a very smart blogger I now have a plugin that resolves the issue. So for those of you who are RSS centric, sorry about that previous post (there is more to it, so please click through). I’ve installed the plugin so hopefully you’ll be having the full sized posts in your favorite RSS reader.

Happy days are here again!

To claim I’ve been too busy to post stuff here would be a cop out (and a lie) so I’ll slightly rephrase and say I’ve been too lazy to post here…I’ve been totally preoccupied with the three T’s: TV, Table Tennis and Twitter.
