Paul J Roberts’ WordPress blog is now repaired. Upgraded even!  First, the repair.computer repair Paul J Roberts Wordpress Blog Repaired

As I stated in yesterday’s post, I had to do a reinstall of  WordPress and rebuild all the posts using Google page cache. Well, that sucked, but I got it done in a few hours. Then reinstalled all the plug ins and reset the SEO plug in.

Next, I updated to Vladimir’s newest rendition of the Amazing Grace theme with Blue Grace integration.  Which is nice because now Amazing Grace is the parent theme and Blue Grace is the child. So, if you make custom tweaks to your themes and then upgrade his theme you don’t lose all your settings! Way cool. I did have to migrate some of the php scripting from the old Grace to the new one, but now they work on either one.  I did have to make a new set of rotating header pictures for Blue Grace. That took about 20 minutes.

As it turns out, I like the Blue Grace theme better. Has more “pop.”

twitter logo s Twitter Tools for WordPress

Twitter Tools for WordPress is a cool little plug in that allows you to plug your tweets into your blog and/or your blog posts into a tweet. Sound cool? Well, it is!

Took just a few minutes to configure and now when I create a new post on my career blog it automatically posts a tweet on my twitter account with a link back to the post.  Cool stuff if you’re a tweeter sort.

Twitter Tools also gives the option to install a widget on your WP page. From there you can post a tweet to twitter if you (the WP admin) are logged in. Also, you can configure it to show the most recent tweets to post to your Twitter account.  More cool stuff….again…if you’re a tweeter sort.

AlexKing.org has some other really cool WP plugins to look at, so stop on by and shop around. Fair warning…his WP site loads pretty sloooooow.  But it will load.

For over a month now, I’ve been working on the set up of my WordPress theme Amazing Grace by VladimirPrelovac. I looked at thousands of free templates, but none suited my needs and tastes. I stumbled upon Amazing Grace while reading another blog poster’s comments. As soon as I saw the theme I knew I could make it work at  Paul J Roberts . com
