WordPress Web 2.0 Spot-Er

FH-Freedom-Reloaded is a re-work and modification of “FH Freedom blue 0.2” theme released by Frank Helmschrott. I was very impressed by the theme but have found that it was incompatible with WordPress 2.2 and widgets system integrated into new version. There was also an issue with many things being in German and some CSS issues.

To make story short – I have adopted the theme for one of my projects, fixed the functions to make it fully compatible with latest WordPress release and modified columns layout and CSS styling to suit my needs. Unfortunately I have decided not to continue developing project it was intended for and since the theme is ready – I’m releasing it for your enjoyment.

This will be a short post and mainly designed with one thing in mind – let you know about one very simple “plugin” that can be implemented on any blog – translation via Google Translate service. I have implemented it on my blog and it can be seen on sidebar.

What makes this plugin so nice – it is a simple HTML and JavaScript code, which can be implemented on any blog platform, including WordPress and will allow visitors that natively speak other language to read you content. See it in action on my sidebar and click (About) link to get your own copy. I do have to admit that Google translate is far from perfect but it will do, since it is better then nothing.

Just a quick note as to avoid wasting your time on my mindless ramblings day after long holiday … Yeah, I have those moments too

Anyway I have run into a great resource that I wanted to share with you. Collection of resources that are very helpful for anyone working with sites, blogs or looking for solid advice.

Perhaps it will not be a huge discovery to anyone using Wordpress for while but if it helps even one single person I will consider my mission accomplished.

Videos add great value and interaction to your Web 2.0 blog but it might not be as easy as I have discovered yesterday. New version of Wordpress includes 2 tabs in create new post or page area with one of them being the “Code” tab. Youtube provides you with a complete html code to embed it on your site and to me it seemed like logical step to simply click on Code tab, add the html for video and then save post.

As I have discovered yesterday – it don’t work that way. So here is a simple 2-steps process to add Youtube video to your Wordpress blog.
