Mama’s Bloggin

I’ve decided that I Do Not Love the way my blog looks. I love The Sandbox; I love the fact that I didn’t spend hours on it, but it’s Not Me (yet). Don’t worry - I’ll keep tweaking and tweaking until it’s just right. (and then they’ll issue an upgrade and I’ll start it all over again. *heh*)

And in other news, I’ve discovered a WordPress Plugin that has revolutionized the way I look at blog maintenance. The One Click Installer by Anirudh Sanjeev. It has the distinction of being the only WordPress Plugin (thus far) with its own Firefox extension. (You can use the plugin without the extension, but you cannot use the extension without the plugin.) If you use the extension, you simply right-click on the zipfile’s location, select OneClick Install from the dropdown menu, and select if it’s a theme or plugin. Unzipping and uploading is then handled by OneClick. Not using the extension? No problem - you can c&p the zipfile’s URL into the plugin page, or you can download the zipfile to your computer and then upload it through the same page. Once it’s uploaded, you go to your plugins page and activate as usual.

One word of warning: I’ve already had one issue with a plugin unzip, but that was *not* the fault of OneClick. The plugin developer named the zipfile one thing, and named it something entirely different in the plugin’s code.

I’ve already added several plugins using OneClick (did you notice my Amazon Wishlist over there? huh? didja didja?) and upgraded to the latest version of my plugins.
