This is a start of reviving an old personal project.

There is quite a bit of customization on here, new php code added… some needs re-modification and the design has to be finished…. then of course, I will be populating the site. Well, all when I get time !

Edit: Still playing….. This IS a playzone. Today I might make it work in IE6 again!

You will notice that this site utilises category icons.

Dodecahedrons for ‘Branding and ID’, a coffee cup for ‘Random’, a lightbulb for the ‘coding Bits’ category and so on.

This IS possible to do by using a WordPress plugin but like all plugins, they are made for general purpose and include features that you do not necessarily need. All plugins are usually quite extensive and harder to modify. Why use 1000 lines of code in various php files when a ridiculously small and simple bit of code will suffice.

Example: The plugin ‘category-icons’ is 724KB with 60 files in 13 folders

My method is 2 very simple files and 8KB using ‘incat’ and ‘iscat’ and does precisely what I need, and no more

MIND BOGGLINGLY SIMPLE!
