Vim Colors

I had trouble getting my vi editor to display all black background color. This includes the background color after the end of the file. I just wanted an all black background for better visibility. I did a little bit of googling and found this nice little gem. I happen to like the dessert theme and went with that instead of the recommended mustang theme which I don’t have installed. Hope you’ll find this helpful.

set t_Co=256
set background=dark
colorscheme dessert
highlight Normal ctermbg=NONE
highlight nonText ctermbg=NONE

Revolution Theme

I’m now using the Revolution theme from StudioPress. It’s a minimal design with lots of whitespace. The default font is Playfair Display which highlights headlines and blockquotes. The Playfair Display is available from Google Fonts if you’re interested. I think it’s a perfect theme for a photography blog. Although the theme seems to invite you to write more, something I haven’t been doing lately. And before I sign off, let’s take a look at what a blockquote looks like. Not bad at all. A beautiful theme.

WordPress Asking for FTP Details

If WordPress is asking for FTP details when you’re trying to update a theme, plugin, or WordPress itself, you will need to edit your wp-config.php file to add the following line to your configuration.

define('FS_METHOD','direct');

Save the file and try updating again. It shouldn’t ask you for FTP details.
