Well if you haven’t noticed I have installed a very nice gallery plugin for Wordpress.  This is going to replace my Coppermine photo gallery which has worked well until now and I have decided I wanted something more closely related to my blog.  This program is super easy to install just download, unzip and upload to the plugin folder and then activate the plugin.  It also has a widget which you can install which will run in the sidebars and you can have it randomly select images or stick to one image.  I also had to install JW Image Rotation for the slide show option to work correctly

So for those of us who pay for their web hosting this site does really well.  It is not the hosting service that I use (Lunarpages) but is rated number one as my hosting is rated number 2.  Currently this site is hosting websites with a ton of data 500GB of data storage, 5000 GB monthly bandwidth, email, fantastico script library.  Good stuff!

As you can see below each post I have now added the ability to rate the blog you are reading with stars.  It is a simple Wordpress plugin and installs with just one file.

With the upgrade to Wordpress 2.3 they have now added the ability to add Keywords to your posts for web crawling services such as Twitter…Since Live Writer seems to be the best publisher out there there are some things you have to tweak on the blog to get the keywords working.  This is the zip file that you need to unzip into your wp-includes folder and then update your blog accounts on windows live and its all good.

Well after doing this re-doing this site thought I would re-design the Danza Dance Academy site, so I did after a few days. I moved all the lists to a database backend and went with a nice simple 3 column CSS design.
