Changing WordPress Themes

The WordPress default theme looks nice but it might not project the right image for your blog. If this is the case, you’ll be happy to know that the folks at WordPress have made changing your blog’s appearance as easy as changing your socks.

It’s a fairly well documented process but here’s a quick rundown:

Introduction to WordPress

This blog was created with the free blogging tool WordPress and since this is my first time using a content management system of any type, I thought I’d note my first impressions with the hope of encouraging others to follow along.

So far I’m quite impressed with WordPress’s sheer number of options, overall power and most importantly, its ease of use. Installation was a snap since my web host has something called Fantastico Auto-Installs which makes installing applications like WordPress as easy as

ActionScript Code Highlighting in WordPress

I wonder what ActionScript looks like:

//
//
import flash.display.*;
import flash.geom.Matrix;
//
//
lineStyle(1);
lineTo(200, 0);
lineTo(200, 200);
lineTo(0, 200);
lineTo(0, 0);
//
//
function createClipGrid(name, depth, rows, cols, bmp){
    var clp = this.createEmptyMovieClip(name, depth);
    var wi = bmp.width;
    var hi = bmp.height;
    var cellWi = wi/cols;
    var cellHi = hi/rows;
    var lastX = 0;
    var lastY = 0;
    var cWi = 0;
    var goalX = 0;
    var cHi = 0;
    var goalY = 0;
    var count = 0;
    clp.allCells = [];
    for(var i=0; i<cols ; i++){
        goalX = Math.round((i+1)*cellWi);
        cWi = goalX - lastX;
        for(var j=0; j<rows; j++){
            count++;
            goalY = Math.round((j+1)*cellHi);
            cHi = goalY - lastY;
            var trans = new Matrix();
            trans.translate(-lastX, -lastY);
            var cell = clp.createEmptyMovieClip("Cell"+i+"_"+j, count);
            clp.allCells.push(cell);
            cell.bmp = new BitmapData(cWi, cHi, bmp.transparent);
            cell.attachBitmap(cell.bmp, 10, "never");
            cell.bmp.draw(bmp, trans);
            cell._x = lastX;
            cell._y = lastY;
            lastY = goalY%hi;
        }
        lastX = goalX%wi;
    }
    return clp;
}
//
//
function drawLine (){
    lineTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
}
onMouseDown = function(){
    lineStyle(4, Math.random()*0xFFFFFF);
    moveTo(_xmouse, _ymouse);
    onMouseMove = drawLine;
}
onMouseUp = function(){
    onMouseMove = null;
}
//
//
onKeyDown = function(){
    var myBmp = new BitmapData(200, 200, false, 0xFFFFFF);
    myBmp.draw(_root);
    createClipGrid("CG", 20, 5, 8, myBmp);
    //CG._x = CG._y = 200;
    for(var k in CG.allCells){
        var c = CG.allCells[k];
        c.xd = Math.random()*6-3;
        c.yd = Math.random()*6-3;
        c.onEnterFrame = tumble;
    }
}
Key.addListener(this);
function tumble(){
    with(this){
        _x += xd;
        _y += yd;
        _yscale -= Math.random()*5;
        _xscale -= Math.random()*5;
        if(_xscale<0 || _yscale<0)removeMovieClip();
    }
}
//
//

That’s not too shabby.
