Hi I'm Bubs, welcome to my home on the web!

Thanks for stopping by! You have stumbled upon the personal website of Sidney Collins (aka Bubs). I'm a 25-year old student at the University of Alabama studying Computer Science and Mathematics. When I'm not busy programming you'll probably find me writing, drawing, reading, shopping, eating, or playing Monopoly.

Threaded Comments Notification

I wrote my first php function 5 minutes ago :spin: Yay for me! I’m so proud. It handles my skins list on the sidebar. Let me know if you encounter any strange errors.

I finally got my threaded comments working. I also installed a new hack by Dodo that notifies the comment author by email on reply. If you’re a Wordpress user, feel free to recommend your favorite hacks. There are so many of them, I’d like to know which ones are useful.

I’ve decided to close my button rotation, BubblesSWAP, because I’m too lazy to update it anymore. I was handling everything manually, and it was becoming quite tedious. If you were a member, feel free to remove the code.

Speaking of closing sites, many of you know that I placed my elite listing, Perfection, up for adoption. Here’s the email I’ve sent to those who contacted me about it:

Thank you all for your interest in adopting Perfection. Here are the requirements for adoption. First, you have to make a sample layout and send it to me before the specified deadline so that I can choose which I like best. If you don’t want to do that, but are still interested in the clique, I will pass your email along to whomever I choose as the new admin and he/she may be able to use you as a helper.

All you need for the sample layout is an index page, nothing special. However, this is how I will choose who will be the new admin, so you want to impress me ;) Perfection will remain hosted on my server and the old active members will remain in the clique. The deadline to submit a layout is February 28, 2005 – no exceptions.

If you have any questions, feel free to email me back. Also, if you’re interested in the layout competition or being a helper, email me with your name and details. Thanks again!

    Oh, hooray! You got it working. :D I’ll have to pick on you if I have trouble (no doubt I will). XD Dodo’s coding is very creative…I can’t wait to have time to dive in. I haven’t even started on emoticons yet. *wibble* I’ve been overwhelmed by the amount of plugins and such for wordpress that it looks like I’ll actually be able to use. I’m so excited and glad I switched…if I install one I like a lot that has functionality I’ll rec it to you. :D

    Your emoticons aren’t really working for me…is that an issue on my end or yours? *glares at browser* It’s been acting weird all weekend!

    It’s like I can’t click on them and have them appear anymore…isn’t that what they did!? *weeps* My browser has revolted!

    Oh…so I totally skinned my site three seconds ago. Well, barring Wordpress, still figuring that out. You and Jem are bad…um…yet good…influences. I’ve learned more in the past six months than ever from both of you. WOW.

    Ahh, they aren’t clickable in Firefox :confused: Since I installed WP, have they worked for you?

    I’m glad that I’ve taught you much, my young padawan :lol:

    Yay! The skins work for me. But yeah, like someone said before, the emoticons don’t click for me. I click them, and nothing happens. I’m usinf Firefox, too. I wonder why this is? I use Alex King’s clickable smilies plugin, and they work on mine. I also use Comment Plugger, Kitten’s Spaminator, Kitten’s Spam Words, Linkifier (this one is really cool… when you type {Person in Link Manager} it automatically links to that person’s site as defined in your link manager), Useronline, WP Grins, Witty Text, and WP Style Switcher… I want to figure out Multi-more and Threaded comments though. :D

    hi!
    can you tell me how you got the smilies to work in firefox? I’m having that same problem now. They work in IE and Opera but not in Firefox. I’m using wp-grins, dodo’s threaded comments and running wordpress 2.0.4
