WordPress, themes and plugins

Well if anyone is actually reading this site yet they might notice that it breaks occasionally.

I’ve never been entirely happy with the way wordpress worked until I discovered a plugin called Subster, this lets you configure a wordpress category as a subdomain. Not only that but you can then specify a different theme for that subdomain. For instance I have a lot of travel posts that I wanted to appear on travel.casualgenius.com using this plugin I can.

However there were a few problems, the different theme part didn’t really work, and some things I wanted that it didn’t provide. So I’m setting about writing the plugin to do what I want. This includes filtering page lists and providing extra widgets.

It’s still work in progress, hence the site going a bit funny sometimes, but once it’s done I’ll post the latest version here. I’ll also try and track down the latest author, it seems the plugin is like an unwanted child and has been through about 4 authors so far, and see if he’s still developing it or not.

If anyone spots this and is interested in the plugin feel free to quiz me about it.
