Sometimes you need to move folders around, and when they are under version control, this can cause problems. If you’re feeling lazy and don’t want to svn export, then run this from the folder you want to scrub:
find . -name .svn | xargs rm -rf

Want to quickly add all missing files to an SVN repository from the command line? Here’s a recipe to do just that:
svn st | awk '{print "svn add "$2 }' | bash
Perform a check in, so that all modified files, and other file statuses are cleared, then you just pipe svn status into awk, which will prepare the svn add statements, and then pipe those into your shell to actually fire off the commands. Leave off the | bash part at first to make sure everything looks good to you, and then fire away.

Building a custom theme for WordPress can be hard. Sure you get full control over ever square inch of your markup, but there are lots of variables and little tricks you have to remember to implement in order for your theme to support all of the WordPress features. Enter K2, a fantastic theme framework that you can use to CSS your way to a beautiful custom theme while providing a clean upgrade path so you can keep your WordPress installation secure and up to date. This presentation will show you how you can create the blog design of your dreams, using a single style sheet, and will be off interest to technical and non-technical users alike.
Register for Blog Orlando and let me show you how to CSS your way to a custom Word Press theme in K2.
For the past few weeks I’ve been quietly tinkering on a new section of the ol’ xentek homestead, and I’m happy to report that the efforts are starting to bare fruit. In other words, I’ve been scratching a few itches, and have released the results under the GPLv3. The first one out of the incubator is FlareSmith. a WordPress plugin to integrate the FeedBurner Stats and FeedFlare services into your blog – without having to edit your theme.
This plugin was the result of using the K2 theme framework for most of my WordPress sites. I got tired of having to remember to patch theloop.php each time I wanted to upgrade K2. By developing a simple content filter, I could insert the small JavaScript snippet that powers the FeedBurner Stats and FeedFlare integration with your self-hosted blog.
The plugin is available here, and is also hosted at the WordPress Plugins Database – to take advantage of the new plugin upgrade functionality in 2.5.
Enjoy!
P.S. I entered the plugin into a competition. Stop by and vote for me if you get a chance.
