Charles found an issue with the validation code – it was requiring a subject even when the subject field was disabled.
A fix has been made and uploaded to the WordPress plugin repository. You should see the update available shortly.
Thanks Charles!

All you need to do is enter the matching link title on the SMCF options page.
I’ve also modified the email message to use the default wordwrap of 75 characters and have removed the slashes added by magic_quotes.
Translators: Updates were made to the verbiage, so if you would be so kind to update your translations, I’d appreciate it!

While working on a new site design, I found an interesting bug in WordPress 2.7. I created two new pages to use as “Front page displays”, one called Blog and one called Home. To create the pages, I clicked on Pages > Add New, entered a Title and clicked Publish.
I then went to my Reading Settings (Settings > Reading) and set the static Front and Posts page to the pages I just created. Going back to my site, I tested out the new static pages only to find they didn’t work.
Tired of carving the same ‘ol pumpkin every year, I thought I’d try something different this year. I free-handed the WordPress logo on the pumpkin then carefully carved it out.

Even though my current design is fairly new, I’ve never been very happy with it. As a result, I recently started the process of designing a new WordPress Theme from scratch, and was planning on blogging about my experience.
While researching WordPress Theme tags and functions, I came accross a site called ThemeTation. Launched on June 5th, 2008 by Kai Loon, it is a well designed site that includes a WordPress related Weblog as well as free WordPress Themes (SuperFresh and Blue Blog).
What really caught my attention was the very informative series Kai Loon put together on creating a WordPress Theme from scratch. If you’ve ever considered taking on that challenge or are just interested in how WordPress Themes work, I suggest you take a look:
Part 1 – Structuring, Designing in Photoshop
Part 3a – WordPress Implementation
Part 3b – WordPress Implementation cont.
Thanks Kai Loon!
I’ve signed up to participate in the third annual CSS Naked Day, which will be celebrated on April 9th! For the entire day, my site will be without style!
If this is the first time you’ve heard of CSS Naked Day, it was started by Dustin Diaz to promote Web Standards:
“This includes proper use of (x)html, semantic markup, a good hierarchy structure, and of course, a good ‘ol play on words. It’s time to show off your <body>”
Are you brave enough to strip naked for a day?
Note: Only my content delivered through WordPress will be “naked”, the rest will be left “fully clothed”.
