Buggy v0.02 alpha released

by Ross Allchorn

buggy thumbI’ve been hard at work on the buggy template today. I think it’s coming along nicely and I’ve launched an open source alpha v0.02 this evening. I’ve written a brief (to be expanded upon) readme file explaining how things work, but as time goes on, I will improve it and the template itself.

I still want to add some nice navigation elements, lists, image styling etc. Possibly integrate lightboxing and look into some other semantic, non intrusive javascript that is realistic to use in as wide a variety of systems as possible. I’ll probably look more into jquery, but I do want to keep things as simple as as scalable as possible.

The more it goes in one direction, the more difficult it is to backtrack. I guess this will be an evolutionary process.

How to implement table editing in Wordpress

This is what I was looking to do

Wordpress TinyMCE with tables.
Wordpress’ WYSIWYG displaying table editing tools on the bottom row.

Shock horror! I hear some standardistas ranting about tables being evil already. Well, I hate to burst some bubbles, but tables were invented for a reason. Believe it or not, for tabular data!
