Error 404: File not found


I suppose many of you internet users are familiar with the above message?

Inspired by a smashing magazine article on 404 Error pages, I decided to modify the standard WordPress error message on slickhouse, to make it slightly more useful.

At the same time, I opted to finally create a graph of slickhouse - using a great site that Simon brought to my attention. Simply enter a URL and the java applet will create a graph of the site, with plenty of interesting dots.

Hopefully you wont encounter slickhouse.com’s 404 page, but if you do - expect something that looks like this.

WordPress 2.3


Slickhouse.com has been upgraded to WordPress 2.3. This is the first release that I’ve had to edit more than one file within the theme, as 2.3 now includes support for tags - and there are a few changes to how stats are called up it seems.

For those creating your own WordPress themes, I found the article How To Add Wordpress 2.3 Tags To Your Current Theme to be very helpful! It’s a simple case of adding a line of code in the loop and editing it as you wish.

The observant of you will have already noticed the tags for this (and the previous) post, which are located in the box-out below the post.

Hopefully I’ll get into the habit of adding tags to new posts - but I wont be trawling through the last [almost] 2 years of posts to add tags!
