One of our readers suggested on twitter yesterday that we release a file of our settings for w3 Total Cache. Here’s the thing: I am NO expert on these things. I’m just beginning to experiment with caching. Up until recently I was on Godaddy, and Godaddy does not play nice with cache plugins… or a lot of things I discovered. Anyway, let’s take a look:
Our T-shirt contest is all wrapped up! We’ve made about 50 or 60 new friends as a result of this. Which was our only goal, just trying to meet some new people, and get the VoodooPress name out there. Sometime by the ned of the weekend, I’ll be drawing names, and contacting the winners! After that, the shirts will be in the mail! Thanks to everyone who entered!
Tomorrow is the last day to register to win! You can visit this post for all the details. You can register multiple ways each day. That leaves you something like 9 ways to enter before the contest closes tomorrow!
This morning, VoodooPress reached 1000 approved non-spam comments! For a little WordPress site, just hanging out in our corner of the web doing our own thing, I think that’s a pretty great milestone! Thanks to everyone who joins in the discussions here for helping VoodooPress grow. I know many people have been helped through those comments, thanks!
I keep mentioning that I’m slowly working on a custom theme for my personal blog. I work in fits and starts whenever something inspires me. Well today that inspiration struck! I saw this post from c.bavota of bavotasan.com and I really wanted to work this out. One of my main goals for my new theme is to keep things lightweight, and use css whenever possible. This gave me my opportunity! First you’ll need to check out the link above to see how the idea works. Then we adapt:
I’ve seen this problem around the forums quite often. Here is a quick fix for you. Keep your embedded video in it’s place, and don’t let it cover up your dropdown menus, etc. Nice solution!

VoodooPress is exactly 1 year old today! One ear ago we started content development with our Welcome post, and on February 16th we officially launched with this post. Since then, VoodooPress has grown up quite a bit. We’ve been through 2 themes now (2010, 2011) and we are looking forward to another facelift with the launch of WordPress 3.4 and the Twenty Twelve theme. We’ve found a decent group of friends here, who have contributed a lot to discussions and some cool code too. The first year has been a lot of fun, and I’m looking forward to many more years of poking WordPress with a stick and writing about what happens. As a thanks to the readers, let’s have a bit of fun here and give away some shirts!
One of our VoodooPress readers had a question recently. Seems they were using the front end posting form we started talking about here. They became concerned that allowing users to upload new images for every post using this technique would soon fill their hosting allotment. That’s a valid concern. Let’s look at one possible technique here.
Well, I’ve checked out ManageWP for about a week now, so I feel I know my way around it well enough to give a bit of a review. I’ll start off by saying that if you run multiple sites, you might want to check this service out, it’s pretty cool.
So you’ve made a custom template of some sort, or you’ve tried to exclude a category from your home page. You used query_posts because that’s what all the cool kids are doing. But now when you click to go to the next page of your site, it says page 2, but you see all the same posts as page 1. Why is WordPress lying to you? Let’s take a look!
