First Flock Fiddling
Posted on November 24, 2005, by Conor O'Neill, under Technology, Wordpress.
Having a look at the Flock browser to see if it is much cop. So far not bowled away at all. This is a test post from its blogging feature. The whole integration thing just isn’t as slick as I was expecting.
More importantly, I have setup the “Subscribe-to-Comments” plug-in. So now if you add a comment, you can get notified by e-mail if someone else replies. It saves you having to constantly re-check. This is the only one of three plug-ins I tested last night which actually worked. That Wordpress-Feedburner one in particular just did not want to play ball.
I’m also testing the “Connections Reloaded” theme which is a big revamp of the one I’m using here (Connections). Looks better, has more features and is a lot better under the hood so I may try switching over tonight.
All for now. Gonna be a looooong day.
UPDATE: I don’t like all the HTML crud it inserts all over my bog standard text. I don’t hink I’ll be using it to blog from now on.

Testing is going very well, Ajay. I just need to cut n paste all the custom stuff from my current side-bar over to it and I should be ready to roll. I’m travelling for work to Boston this week so my guess is that it will happen during a jet-lagged night mid-week!
Thanks for the great theme (and thanks to Patricia for the original). I noticed that she posted on her blog that Connections 2.0 is now delayed. It will be interesting to compare the two themes when it does come out.

Yeah, it is a badly written post. Hard to tell which bit is about Flock and which is about the theme. Suffice to say that I’m still working with Connections and Connections reloaded and I have given up on Flock.

Hi Conor,
I see you are still running Connections. How is the testing with my theme going on?
If you are interested I now run a feed on my website for all posts related to Connections Reloaded.

Oh btw,
made me think it was my theme. Then I realized it was flock
