Having woken up early today with some itchy coding fingers I decided to jump back into coding and update the site a little. After stumbling across the new WordPress 3.3 update I was stoked to see all the new changes and even went and imported in all of the posts from my old and seldom-used Tumblr blog using the new post importer tool. One major flaw with this though was that all of the post formatting was a little dodgy and I had to go back and rename all the posts that didn’t have a pre-defined title. I also had to redirect or delete old images that had lost their urls and just general edit around etc etc, which was a long process…
Adding to this pain, was the fact that all of these videos were also unresponsive, opening up a flaw in my theme design: that fitvids.js (the excellent jQuery plugin by Chris Coyier and Paravel I’ve integrated into my blog to make videos responsive) would only work on specific video elements that I had hand-coded myself. Thankfully I found a little bit of help from the fitvids.js creator, Chris Coyier at CSStricks.com, which helped solve the issue.
