How to add Google fonts into your WordPress

Use Google to generate the CSS for the font, then include it using wp_register_style() and/or wp_enqueue_style() WordPress functions.  This should probably be generalized to accept font name parameters, as well as probably moved out into a plugin.

WordPress + P2 = Company Intranet in 5 minutes

I’ve mentioned a few times already that I became a big fan of P2 theme for WordPress.  I currently maintain multiple installations of it, just because it is so easy to setup and start using.  I have it as company Intranet or as a project collaboration tool.  It’s like a blog, a wiki, and a chat room combined together.  And since I’ve installed it so many times, I thought I should publish what exactly I am doing, in case someone else will want to try it.

Tweaking categories

I spent a bit more time yesterday tweaking the site.  I love the Carrington theme, but a few things annoyed me.  So I changed them.  Here is a list:

  • Changed RSS link to point to category feed, when in categories.
  • Expanded posts in the categories.  This was annoying me big time.
  • Moved category descriptions from the top, above the posts, to the sidebar.  Reused the about box for this purpose, which made a lot of sense.
  • Created a sub-category ‘Reviews’ under ‘Movies’ and moved star categories under it.  It makes life much easier for those who come here just for movie reviews.
