As you may have noticed Ⅰ am redesigning the site a bit. In this little series Ⅰ will be posting some tips and tricks how certain things get done here.

You may have noticed the addition of a third column — or rather a second sidebar. This was done by utilizing a variant of k2 called „3 Column K2„. In these sidebars Ⅰ have chosen to actually use the widgets for adding and customizing stuff (rather than editing the source files as Ⅰ did in my previous attempts of adapting k2 to my needs).

Also you might find that little entry from my last.fm journal interesting. It got placed there via a php-widget with the following code (thanks to Jeriko One for the code):

<h2 class="widgettitle"><a href="http://www.last.fm/user/dekay/journal/" 
    title="Syndicate as RSS">last.fm journal</a></h2>
<span class="metalink">
    <img src="http://www.last.fm/favicon.ico" alt="RSS" />
</span>
<?php require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss-functions.php'); ?>
<?php $today = current_time('mysql', 1); ?>
<?php
$rss = @fetch_rss('http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/1.0/user/dekay/journals.rss');
if ( isset($rss->items) && 0 != count($rss->items) ) { ?>
<ul>
    <?php
    $rss->items = array_slice($rss->items, 0, 1);
    foreach ($rss->items as $item ) {
        ?>
    <li>
        <a href='<?php echo wp_filter_kses($item['link']); ?>'>
        <?php echo wp_specialchars($item['title']); ?></a> <br/>
        <small>—
        <?php echo human_time_diff( strtotime($item[’pubdate’], time())); _e(’ago’); ?>
        </small><br/>
        <?php echo  _e($item['description']) ?>
    </li>

<?php } } ?> </ul>

The above source code display with all its color coding glory was produced by textmate, theme by Thomas Aylott — even though it seems not all color markups make it.
