WordPress: ‘home’ vs. ’siteurl’

Posted: October 1st, 2009 | Author: stevie | Filed under: Delicious, Lifestream, Links | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

I can never remember the difference between these two options. So, basically:

* siteurl == 'WordPress address', i.e. location of your main WordPress core files
* home == 'Blog address', i.e. the root directory's URL

Usually, these 2 options are the same, but strictly speaking, when you want echo the address of the blog in a template, you should use bloginfo('home').

Common Use-Cases for Merging

Posted: August 18th, 2009 | Author: stevie | Filed under: Delicious, Lifestream, Links | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , | No Comments »

"Another common use for svn merge is to roll back a change that has already been committed. Suppose you're working away happily on a working copy of /calc/trunk, and you discover that the change made way back in revision 303, which changed integer.c, is completely wrong. It never should have been committed. You can use svn merge to “undo” the change in your working copy, and then commit the local modification to the repository. All you need to do is to specify a reverse difference:

$ svn merge -r 303:302 http://svn.example.com/repos/calc/trunk
U integer.c

$ svn status
M integer.c
