 * I’ve spent quite a long time over the past month or two making WordPress my slave.
   😉 I’m finally pleased with my site and launched it the other day. 95% of it 
   is powered by WordPress (I was particularly pleased with the Photo Requests and
   Layout History sections) and it just makes it 100x easier to manage now. I love
   being able to click the little “edit” link when I want to update a page, rather
   than having to fire up my FTP program. WP Pages = best invention ever. I have
   eleven plugins running, too! I love plugins! :O
 * My site is [http://www.burbling.net/](http://www.burbling.net/) 🙂
 * I’d love to hear what people think, whether good or bad. I’d also be curious 
   to know if anyone can spot any errors. 🙂
 * I love WordPress and want to have its babies. x

 * The site looks really great!! May I ask how you did the “old site” thumbs/layout/
   functionality? Is it a plugin or a hard-coded page?
 * Thanks for sharing! Great design!

 * Thank you! 🙂
 * I made a category called Layout History, and then for each layout, I created 
   a new post in that category with the name of the site and version as the title,
   and a description of the site as the post content. I then created a screencap
   and thumbnail with the same name as the post slug (i.e. for the title Burbling.
   net v2, the post slug was burblingnet-v2, so I had burblingnet-v2_tn.jpg and 
   burblingnet-v2.jpg) and put those in a separate folder. I then made a new template
   for the category (by installing the [Post Templates by Category](http://guff.szub.net/post-templates-by-category/)
   plugin) and called up all the individual posts in that category like this:
 * <?php $posts = query_posts($query_string . ‘&orderby=date&order=desc&posts_per_page
   =-1’); ?>
 * <p class=’center’>
 * <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
 * <x href='<?php the_permalink(); ?>’><img id=’post-<?php the_ID(); ?>’ class=’
   border’ src='<?php echo bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/images/site/layout-history/<?php 
   echo $post->post_name; ?>_tn.jpg’ width=’150′ height=’82’ alt='<?php the_title();?
   >’ title='<?php the_time(‘F jS, Y’) ?> – <?php the_title(); ?>’ /></x>
 * <?php endwhile; else: ?>
 * (Where x = a; it didn’t like the a href, for some reason!)
 * Hope that helps! 🙂

 * Well i have often wanted to keep a lot of what i do together and your site has
   actually inspired me to do it and hopefully i will manage to keep everything 
   on my domain together without getting it too messy.
    Your site looks amazing 
   and so very clean and simple .matt

 * Nice design. A quick note on the nav bar though, the text is extremely small 
   on my browser. Runnning at 1600×1200 resolution, if that matters. Perhaps a contrasting
   color and slightly larger font will be easier to read.

 * Thanks for the comments, Cypher! Much appreciated. I will definitely consider
   changing the navigation bar when I get the chance to look at it and experiment
   with sizes/colours. 🙂
 * Thanks!
