Google Calendar Events, 0.7.2
It’s been a long time since I’ve updated Google Calendar Events. I’ve had very little time to work on the plugin lately, due to other projects that have had to take precedence.
A couple of months back, I did begin a major rewrite of the plugin, with all sorts of snazzy improvements, but it’s a long way off release worthy, or even beta worthy, at present. I’ll continue to work on it when I can, but I thought I’d better fix a couple of minor (yet annoying) bugs in the current version for the time being.
Google Calendar Events, 0.7.1
This is just a bug fix release, nothing particularly exciting, I’m afraid. Here’s a quick overview of the changes:
Google Calendar Events, 0.7
Version 0.7 fixes a few bugs and adds a few minor features.
Google Calendar Events, 0.7 Beta
0.6 has been out for a while, long enough for a couple of bugs to appear! I expected a few, as a lot of code was changed in the last release. Also, my to-do list has been gradually filling up with lots of suggestions for little enhancements here and there. So, I’m going to combine these fixes and enhancements into a new version, 0.7.
First Patch
Only two characters… well, more like minus two, but still, awesome!
Google Calendar Events, 0.6
I know that it’s not been long since the last release, but 0.5 exacerbated a few annoying, and long-running, problems that the plugin had.
I’ve had some spare time over the last week (yay for Easter!), so I decided to really get to grips with these issues, and hopefully eradicate them.
Google Calendar Events, 0.5
Version 0.5 of my WordPress plugin, Google Calendar Events, has been released!
0.5 contains a couple of new features, which between them encompass a large proportion of the feature requests I have received over the last few months. Here’s a brief overview of the new stuff:
Google Calendar Events, 0.5 beta
Version 0.5 has now been released! Please take a look at this post for details on the release.
Over the last couple of weeks, I managed to find a little time to spend developing my WordPress plugin, Google Calendar Events. I’ve implemented a couple of features / enhancements that I’m quite excited about, as I think they really add a lot of flexibility.

(Update – 21st February, 2012 – I’m no longer using this on my site, but the method still works)
Over the last couple of days I have been working on updating my site’s theme. More specifically, I have been converting it to a Hybrid child theme.
I created my original theme from scratch, and it wasn’t particularly brilliant in terms of construction. I basically had a separate template for every page. I somewhat missed the point, methinks. I have leaned a lot about WordPress development since then, so decided it was time for an update.
I wanted a simple way of adding the various bits and bobs to the homepage (recent posts, flickr images, twitter) that didn’t involve hacking about with template files. Here’s what I did for the recent posts section:
