uh, page order anyone?
XoreWell, i ran into my first annoyance with WP. Just trying to add a little content, then trying to order the pages. for some reason, the little ‘order’ field… does seemingly nothing! To be perfectly honest, i’m more willing to accept there not being any ordering options, than for there to be an ordering option that’s broken. I’m picky. But… when i put options into the software i write… they work. They don’t do nothing… If they did nothing, they wouldn’t be there.
Anyway, with that aside, there’s some new content, i added a ‘Projects’ page that gives a little info on some of the projects i’m working on. Feel free to enjoy, if reading informative(sic) webpages is a process in which one is capable of deriving pleasure. :-/
Edit: A Wiki does not replace a reference manual. bad WP. You butcher the language with a “version” of PHP that’s even more difficult to comprehend for non-coders than the original, and give poor documentation (at the time of this post) about it. With that said, it’s a wiki. It can only improve.
Or so one might hope :-L
(and my ‘music’ / currently listening to thingy works now. i feel proud of myself for having accomplished such a feat, and my existance is thereby validated )

Hey Xore, for documentation you should probably check the codex.

You could modify the template tags for the pages to display them in the page order.

heh, the only thing i “dislike” about WP, is the fact that I can’t write my own pages… I mean, I try including all those functions n’ stuff… but really, its a big pain… and forced me to use their “Pages” thing.

Thanks chenu, that was exactly what i was looking for. I find it weird that they would have that option in the page editor, but not have that feature turned on by default… requiring template editing to turn it on x_x. Ah well, good for me to know anyway, getting to know my way around a system always makes it easier to customize.
