New Theme…Take Six!
Finally done up a unique blog design for this website. I intended to continue working on the design aspect of this theme but I accidentally deleted the PSD file. 
The portfolio page is still being worked on. I have my works thrown all over hard drives and portable devices, so it will take me a while to consolidate them.
This theme, by the way, is created with the Buffet Framework as the parent theme.

- Featured Post Extension – Shows a featured post based on the assigned category you have set in the theme options

WP-PHPQuickProfiler: WordPress Plugin
About a day or two ago I stumbled on a blog post from Web Resources Depot talking about PHP Quick Profiler (PQP), which they called it a ‘Firebug for PHP’. I liked its interface and thought if only it could work in WordPress. After a few hours of hacking and tweaking I managed to port the tool as a WordPress plugin.
Here are some of the tweaks I’ve made from the original script:
- Tweaks to the CSS, JS (uses jQuery instead)
- Edited the database logging functions to work with WordPress’ database class
- Appears only when the current user viewing has admin privileges (can be turned off)
- Uses WordPress’ logging functions to maximize accuracy
I can’t guarantee its accuracy on this plugin though. If you wish to get really really accurate results I suggest you use other tools such as xDebug instead.
For more information about this plugin, check out the official page.
