It’s been a while, right? Messing with asides. I mean, trying. I realised that I don’t post as much as I used to on CTTS because I feel I have to write an article each time. So it ends up on Facebook. Which is sad, because stuff goes into Facebook to die a few days later.

Mon super article qui avait perdu son titre
Ici j’écris un super article où je parle de mes chats ou d’un autre truc qui m’intéresse.
Un lien vers le vrai blog de Stephanie.
Une photo de chat.
C’était vraiment bête de parler de mes chats, alors j’efface. J’ai aussi remis le titre.

New WordPress Dashboard
So, here we are. I’ve known for some time (as I was proofreading a book in French on WordPress) that drastic changes were lying ahead for the WordPress admin screens. Today on WordPress.com, we’re discovering them — and I’m typing my first post in the new interface.
I’ll wait a few days to decide if I like it or not. Change is always disruptive, so the first reaction of resistance or reject should not be taken seriously. Already, I see things I like, from a functional point of view.
Formatting
You can put things in bold. You can also have the in italics.
The spacing between paragraphs is big. That is because we’re reading on a screen.
One important layout tool to use is lists:
- first thing
- second thing
- third
And, of course, links.

Matt told me yesterday that he finally saw the light. Excellent! I’m now one step closer to moving CTTS over to wordpress.com.
Overview of WordPress.com Themes
Ever wanted to browse the whole collection of themes provided on WP.com easily? I made an HTML snapshot of my blog with each of the themes for work (coComment), and you can have a peek too.
See the Cheese Sandwich Blog dressed in all the different themes available on WordPress.com.

Choose Header Image From Flickr
The one thing I really hate when I need to upload a photograph (for my profile, or here, a header image for the new theme I’m trying out) is that I have to upload it.
Most of my photos are online. I can find them in Flickr way faster than on my hard drive. And the connection between the server and Flickr is most certainly better than my crappy ADSL upload rate.
Why can’t we have “Provide URL” as well as “Upload Photo” in all these cases?
Sandbox Theme
I haven’t looked totally in detail, but does the Sandbox theme have hAtom markup?

Audio Content Test
This is just a short audio recording of me. Mainly to see how WP.com deals with uploading this kind of thing.
Oh, well. File type does not meet security guidelines. Does that mean I’m not allowed to have audio content on WP.com? That sucks.
