Been tweaking some more on The Bookshelf, my rec project. But I still haven’t found a way around my main problem – how to display the subcategories on the main category pages, in a way that’s not hard-coded, so that I don’t have to change it by hand every time a new subcategory is added. I simply don’t understand WP well enough – and I asked in the Support forum and was told something like this did not exist yet, but I should feel free to learn php and write it. Umm, okay…

But really, WordPress kicks some serious ass, I must say. Not to say anything against MT (which I understand more or less by now), but for the rec project the new subcategory feature (available only in the nightly alpha versions – but it works, that’s the main thing) was essential.

The youth magazine launch this morning went well – we wore t-shirts with the name on it and stood around in front of a couple of schools, pushing it at the unsuspecting students. A local TV station had send two girls to cover it, which led to some very amusing reactions when people saw the camera. I’ve got a couple of mags to send to people, but those of you who speak German and are interested, feel free to check out the website or the pdf file. Just know that I don’t agree with the way the blog article sounds – that was my ‘boss’, who wants to be cool and provocative. But still, the whole thing looks very good and pretty professional – most people thought they’d have to pay for it!
