Wish I Wasn’t Such an Old Dog

I’d teach myself some new tricks – like learning PHP so I culd write Word Press plug-ins.

I’d really like one for the MMC‘s new WP based web site. I created 40-odd users, one for every member and member’s family members and it would be nice to see how many use the site. So far I know of 3 people besides me who have logged in. One person has actually added events (Dave is my hero) and two others have made comments (you have to be logged in to comment.) Heck if I can get 8 to 10 people to use it at least once I might consider it a success.

Another thing I’d like to have done is maybe a modification of the Event Calendar. Right now there are two options for displaying events, a) they can appear on the front page or b) they can only be viewed on the Event category archive page. I have the site set now so that the events do not appear on the front page, keeping it free for other stuff. But I would like the event to pop onto the front page (maybe as a sticky at the top) a week prior to the event and then stay there until the day after the event.
