Now it's clear something with my code must be wrong, I thought. For displaying the latest posts in Wordpress I use a pretty standard way which is [described in the Wordpress Codex](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts):
`<?php $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=5&order=DESC&orderby;=post_date');
{% highlight php %}
<?php $postslist = get_posts('numberposts=5&order=DESC&orderby;=post_date');
foreach ($postslist as $post) : setup_postdata($post); ?>
<ul>
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><span><?php the_date(); ?></span></li>
</ul>
<?php endforeach; ?>`
<?php endforeach; ?>
{% endhighlight %}
This would get all recent posts sorted by their post_date entry in the (wp_posts) database table and style it as an unordered list with my preferred format. This code worked since the launch of kremalicious.com and I first used it to display the recent blog entries on my start page. But since i didn't change anything in the code this couldn't be caused by wrong code or something.

Thankfully [a commenter](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/185896#post-793417) in the Wordpress forums reminded me of a nice temporary solution to this mess until my host updates MySQL: using wp_get_archives for displaying the recent posts. But this won't let me display the dates anymore:
`<ul><?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit;=5'); ?></ul>`
{% highlight php %}<?php wp_get_archives('type=postbypost&limit;=5'); ?>{% endhighlight %}
Problem temporary solved!

The [PTLens plug-in](http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/) from [ePaperPress](http://epaperpress.com/) was available as a Photoshop plug-in in the past and is well known for its lens pincushion, barrel distortion, vignetting, chromatic aberration, and perspective correction abilities based on a lens model database similiar to [Kekus' LensFix CI plug-in](http://www.kekus.com/software/plugin.html).
<!-- more -->
While I love the plug-ins ability to correct perspectives the Aperture plug-in doesn't work with RAW files(!), just with tiff and jpeg files which is one more way to compromise the way Aperture works (In my opinion the whole plug-in architecture of Aperture does that). And while I would love to show you the plug-ins user interface in Aperture PTLens refused to open either JPEG or TIFF files. So here's just a screenshot of the standalone application:
[![PTLens UI](/media/ptlens_ui_thumb.jpg)](/media/ptlens_ui.png)
So to me the PTLens plug-in for Aperture isn't finished yet. But you can download a [trial version from the plug-ins website](http://epaperpress.com/ptlens/media.html).
The second plug-in recently released is the [Jade plug-in](http://jade.datamind.biz/) from Datamind. Because of its speed also on consumer Macs, Aperture 2 became popular among amateur photographers too. [Datamind](http://datamind.biz) targets it's first Aperture plug-in [Jade](http://jade.datamind.biz/) at this group. The former standalone application for Mac and Windows is now an Aperture adjustment plug-in for correcting your pictures colors, levels and exposure automatically with Dataminds own algorithm. And its user interface is very clean and uncluttered:
[![PTLens UI](/media/jade_ui_thumb.jpg)](/media/jade_ui.png)
While I have to say Jade produces very reasonable results it lacks a lot of controls and fails with complicated pictures where Aperture's adjustment controls wouldn't. So I would say this plug-in would be better as an iPhoto plug-in. Do you really want a blown up photoshop or tiff file for every photo you're going to correct in Aperture?
Nevertheless you can download a [trial version of the plug-in from Dataminds website](http://jade.datamind.biz/media/) and you would have to pay either 19.99€ for home use or 49.99€ for Pro use. You can have alook at [Dataminds very interesting explanation o the different license models](http://jade.datamind.biz/faq#licence).
Interested in more Aperture plug-ins? Just have a look at my article [First overview: Aperture 2.1 adjustment plugins have arrived](http://www.kremalicious.com/2008/05/first-aperture-adjustment-plugins-have-arrived/) to get an overview about what's available at the moment.

When the website detects an iPhone or iPod Touch it will automatically switch to another freshly created theme which is absolutely seamless to the user. This detection is done by the wonderful slim iPhone Wordpress plug-in from ContentRobot which was slightly modified by me.

While Safari on iPhone will display all websites just fine it can happen that the initial viewport is too big so the text is too small to read. By setting a viewport meta tag you can exactly define the viewable dimensions of your website. Apple has [some nice examples](http://developer.apple.com/documentation/AppleApplications/Reference/SafariWebContent/UsingtheViewport/chapter_4_section_3.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40006509-SW33) for understanding the importance of setting the Viewport in iPhone optimized websites.
The viewport can be larger or smaller than the visible area but I wanted my content to exactly fit the width of the iPhone and the goal was to make the text legible on first load. So here's what I use for kremalicious.iPhone:

![Wordpress Logo by kremalicious](/media/wordpress-logo.png)Since Wordpress 2.5 it was nearly impossible for me to log into Wordpress and quickly head over to the write tab. The Dashboard always wants to load a bunch of things in it but this always seemed to fail in my setup and slow things down. And not enough the Dashboard just locks everything up while loading which can take more than one minute.
I've searched for a simple way of disabling those feeds, plugins etc. stuff the Wordpress Dashboard tries to fill but it seems you can't disable these from the backend. But there's a quick way for doing this which involves editing your /wp-admin/index-extra.php and uncomment some lines there. This will leave your Dashboard intact while it stops Wordpress from connecting to various sources to screw your blog up when you just want to quickly write something.
<!-- more -->So open your /wp-admin/index-extra.php file. It should look like this:
<!-- more -->
`<?php
require_once('admin.php');
require( 'includes/dashboard.php' );
require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
@header('Content-Type: ' . get_option('html_type') . '; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'));
switch ( $_GET['jax'] ) {
case 'incominglinks' :
wp_dashboard_incoming_links_output();
break;
case 'devnews' :
wp_dashboard_rss_output( 'dashboard_primary' );
break;
case 'planetnews' :
wp_dashboard_secondary_output();
break;
case 'plugins' :
wp_dashboard_plugins_output();
break;
}
?>`
So open your /wp-admin/index-extra.php file. It should look like this:
{% highlight php %}
<?php
require_once('admin.php');
require( 'includes/dashboard.php' );
require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
@header('Content-Type: ' . get_option('html_type') . '; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'));
switch ( $_GET['jax'] ) {
case 'incominglinks' :
wp_dashboard_incoming_links_output();
break;
case 'devnews' :
wp_dashboard_rss_output( 'dashboard_primary' );
break;
case 'planetnews' :
wp_dashboard_secondary_output();
break;
case 'plugins' :
wp_dashboard_plugins_output();
break;
}
?>
{% endhighlight %}
Now just uncomment the lines so it looks like this (every line with two leading // is uncommented and therefore inactive):
`<?php
require_once('admin.php');
require( 'includes/dashboard.php' );
// require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
@header('Content-Type: ' . get_option('html_type') . '; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'));
// switch ( $_GET['jax'] ) {
//
// case 'incominglinks' :
// wp_dashboard_incoming_links_output();
// break;
//
// case 'devnews' :
// wp_dashboard_rss_output( 'dashboard_primary' );
// break;
//
// case 'planetnews' :
// wp_dashboard_secondary_output();
// break;
//
// case 'plugins' :
// wp_dashboard_plugins_output();
// break;
//
// }
?>`
{% highlight php %}
<?php
require_once('admin.php');
require( 'includes/dashboard.php' );
// require_once (ABSPATH . WPINC . '/rss.php');
@header('Content-Type: ' . get_option('html_type') . '; charset=' . get_option('blog_charset'));
// switch ( $_GET['jax'] ) {
//
// case 'incominglinks' :
// wp_dashboard_incoming_links_output();
// break;
//
// case 'devnews' :
// wp_dashboard_rss_output( 'dashboard_primary' );
// break;
//
// case 'planetnews' :
// wp_dashboard_secondary_output();
// break;
//
// case 'plugins' :
// wp_dashboard_plugins_output();
// break;
//
// }
?>
{% endhighlight %}
And that's it. Save the file on your server, log in to your Wordpress backend and you should see your Dashboard with everything intact. It just won't search for incoming links and all those other RSS sources anymore.
