WicketPixie Is Even Better Now!

I’ve used my incredibly awesome PHP skills to fix WicketPixie and add some improvements. Technically, it’s either licensed under the GPL or a license compatible with the GPL, so I could just give you a link. However, that would be rude, so I’ll have to email Chris Pirillo for permission before I take any such action.

Anyways, I’ve done numerous things like fit it all into /wp-content/themes/wicketpixie/, no need to install plugins or create a /wp-content/uploads/activity/ folder. Speaking of activity, the activity stream works again, so you can see all my web footprints on the Social Me page. I’ve made a few updates to the admin UI as well, including visual feed detection and faster page loads. I’ve made backend changes too, though I really should’ve written them down as I went along, as I have a horrible memory.

I was thinking of adding in some AJAX, maybe in the update widget at the top of the screen or the activity stream. I also moved from Apache to Lighttpd using FastCGI, and I have noticed a speed increase. Also, I decided to use a different background, so I took one of the wood backgrounds and changed the colors around to a nice green shade.

Once again, I won’t post a download until either Chris gives me permission or the WicketPixie available on his site becomes so outdated I must post a download. As of this post, consider this version of WicketPixie to be v1.0.3.
