I'm a geek at heart

The blogging software that I use is called Serendipity and as I'm sure you can tell I've been fiddling around with it. I'm currently using the 0.7beta3 version of the software and it is great! There are a whole bunch of new features (karma, threaded comments, etc) that just make the layout of the blog really cool.

There were a few things that I didn't like about the software though and that was the recent entries and recent comments plugins for the side bars. The formating of the plugins was less than steller. So, being the geek that I am, I modified the "Recent Entries" plugin and wrote a brand new "Recent Comments" plugin. I think they look really cool.

But that's not all. I also fixed the statistics plugin to work with postgresql. It required changing the code on the serendipity statistics plugin proper as well as the serendipity karma plugin.

I've submitted the changed to the developers list but I don't know if they will incorporate the changes into the software. At least it makes my blog look spectacular and run great!
