Minor bugfix to Awsom pixgallery
There was a small bug in the previous download of the Awsom pixgallery distro, please redownload the files if you were having a database creation error during activation of the plugin or you are having problems with your captions not working.
To correct the issue deactivate the plugin, overwrite the files with the new versions, then reactivate the plugin.
Webcomic sites using WordPress: Applegeeks.com
Since many people who will be visiting Awsom.org may be new to web development or using WordPress I think it’s a good idea to have some examples available of what you can do when developing an Art or Webcomic site. The guys at Applegeeks.com are using WordPress for their webcomic, and they’ve done quite a few modifications to the basic theme and flow of WordPress to enhance their site. (One thing I need to find out is how they’re doing that progress bar in their sidebar!)
I’ll feature more people using WordPress over time so that you guys can get more ideas for your own development.
AWSOM plugins Compatible With WordPress 2.2
I have conducted some preliminary testing with WordPress 2.2 release candidate 1 and so far there does not appear to be any compatibility issues with any of the AWSOM plugins for WordPress. The release of this next version of WordPress should be soon, and with any new major version number release there’s always the possibility that older plugins might not work properly. I would strongly suggest that anyone with a WordPress site test out the new version on a local or test system first before updating your live site. At the very least you can be sure that my stuff will work :)
AWSOM Pixgallery Install and Options Guides Updated
The AWSOM Pixgallery install and options guides have been updated to correct a mistake in describing how the cache file is created and input into the field in the Options area of the plugin. If you have been having any issues with your setup please consult the new versions of the guides to help fix your install.
