New Look

It started a few hours ago with wanting to put a widget on the side of my blog that shows the history of my Facebook status updates, because those are, in a sense, a mini-blog. It made sense to show those on our real blog and have everything in one place.

After hours of searching, I haven’t found any way to do what I wanted, mainly because Facebook has apparently taken away the RSS feed of each person’s own status updates. No way to get at it. Oh well.

In the process, though, a lead that I was following prompted me to update my version of Wordpress, which made me update the database version, followed by updating to a new theme for the blog that had the features I thought I needed. Like I said, in the end, there doesn’t seem to be a way to do what I want, but at least the blog has gotten a facelift and some old links and plugins have been cleared out. And, Coral’s in the header. :-) It’s a good thing.

UPDATE: Not 20 minutes after writing that, I found a website that showed how to get my Facebook status RSS feed, yay! Now my latest 10 FB statuses are on the right under the recent posts. Huzzah.
