When automating a backup script, you may want to be able to create a folder named with the current date.
This quick line will accomplish that;
1 2 | @echo off md %date:~-4,4%-%date:~-10,2%-%date:~-7,2% |
Month: April 2010
A glaring white background is common on websites, but a little subtlety in the background colour can make things a little easier on the eyes.
There are a number of websites that will provide color palettes, but it's best to choose a faintly off-white tone. The idea is to cut the glare, not burden your website with a coloured background remeniscent of the web design abuses of the 90's
Pick what works for you, but a good example is #FDFDF0. Here's a sample. The difference is subtle, but effective;
| #FFFFFF PURE WHITE |
#FDFDF0 OFF WHITE |

The number of search results displayed in a listing page in WordPress seems to be linked to the Settings > Reading > Blog pages show at most setting in the WordPress dashboard.
This can create a problem, because you likely want to have a greater number of search results displayed on a page than full posts displayed one above another.
If your template has a search.php page they you're in luck.
From your WordPress dashboard, select Appearance > Editor, then under Theme Files select Search Results (search.php). This will open up the search.php code for editing.
Look for the following line;
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?> |
and place the following line above it;
<?php query_posts('showposts=20'); ?> |
In my template it looked like this;
<div id="content"> <?php query_posts('showposts=20'); ?> <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> |
The number you assign to "showposts=" is, of course, up to you.
Modifying the number of results shown for a Categories listing seems to be a different kettle of fish. For me, as of WordPress 2.9.2, it's linked to the Blog pages show at most setting. Someday I'll figure it out. If you get there first, please leave a comment!
