Plugin Problems on Blog24

WordPress Logo Some of you may have noticed a few quirks in Blog24 layout and design. These are caused by plugins that are being used to improve the site but their output has not been styled yet.

Sorry for any vexation caused by irksome layout. Be assured that these little oddments will be fixed as soon as possible.

I suppose that there is a lesson or two to be learnt here:

Don’t test plugins on a live blog.
Do not test CSS on a live website.
Do not activate plugins just before sleep.
Don’t share blog-probs with your readers?

Plugins That Need Styling

At the time of writing I have spotted three problems with the styling (or lack of) of the output of plugins. These plugins are Other Posts From Cat, ShareThis and Similar Posts.

Another Troublesome Plugin

I thought I would test Twitter Tools by Alex King. I thought it would be a nice feature to have a daily summary of my Twitter activity and Twitter Tools can do this without hassle. The problem is that every post on Blog24 is added to Twitter using TwitterFeed so these summaries are also added to Twitter.

This is a problem that I hope to fix by ditching TwitterFeed and letting TwitterTools update my Twitter account while filtering out the Twitter summaries.

While I strive to make Blog24 better my to-do list seems to be expanding exponentially. I wonder if Thomas Malthus had to-do lists like this.
