I’ve been playing around with WordPress today, customizing the Ocadia<\/a> theme I use a bit (mostly just small tweaks). The big change is I added a plugin to show the music I’m listening to. <\/p>\n

My first attempt was to use my last.fm account<\/a> to generate charts. Unfortunately after a lot of searching I couldn’t find a theme that I both liked and also would fit in my sidebar. The only one I was happy with didn’t use transparency, so it looked stupid on Ocadia’s sidebar background.<\/p>\n

I then settled on using the WP iTunes<\/a> plugin along with iTunesBlogger<\/a>. WP-iTunes actually does a bit more than I wanted, so I hacked it up a bit to take out the Amazon features (which didn’t work too well with my diverse music library anyways) and changed the presentation routine.<\/p>\n

It’s surprisingly easy to hack on WordPress. I’ve only done a little bit of PHP programming before but it’s like a cross between C and Perl, so it’s pretty easy to make it up as I go along. <\/p>\n

What I’m having problems with now is the CSS features on how the song information is displayed. I know so little about CSS now that I was only able to make a fairly crudely formatted list. I kinda know what I want it to look like, I just don’t know enough CSS to do it.<\/p>\n

I also need to look into adding a spell-check plugin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
