About this guide
This guide is intended to provide a comprehensive yet easy to understand guide to installing, using, and customising FlatPress, and is being maintained by FlatPress user Stanley (a.k.a. Paul
), primarily as a teaching aid for Georgi.
Yes, we wish there was a dummies guide for FlatPress too. Who knows, maybe we’ll help write one? This guide is not endorsed by the official FlatPress author, in fact it’s truer to say that this guide endorses FlatPress and is an attempt to document the system, showcase new themes and developments, and generally to encourage new users to experiment a little and find out for themselves what a fun time they can have learning all about this great piece of software.
What’s new…
One of the most frequently asked questions on the FlatPress forum is how to set hyperlinks to open in a new window using BBCode. Well, the BBCode plugin which is part of the official FlatPress release doesn’t allow you to set your links to open in a new window. You can hand code your links using good old HTML, but that’s both laborious and is considered to be a bad thing to do by some people.
On this site you’ll see little icons next to some links, just like the one above. Try hovering your mouse over the link, then hover it over the little icon to see how easy it is to leave the choice of whether to open a link in a new window entirely down to your valued visitor.
Our drop-in replacement BBCode plugin allows you to do this in a flash, and you also get a few new helpful buttons on your BBCode editor toolbar.
Facebook Like Button Plugin
Permalink: http://flatpress.georgi.co.uk/?x=entry:entry111229-213245This plugin will create a widget allowing you to position a facebook “like” button on your blog. You can choose to place it in any of the available widget positions, but you may prefer to spend a few minutes creating a new widget position specifically for the button, as we have briefly described here. Click here for more detailed information about creating ad hoc widget positions. [Read More…]
Enhanced BBCode Plugin
Permalink: http://flatpress.georgi.co.uk/?x=entry:entry111221-125411This enhanced version of the standard FlatPress BBCode plugin sports a few new buttons on the toolbar and also allows you to set an attribute within the URL tags which will add a little icon after the chosen link giving your reader the option to open the link in a new window if they prefer, though the main link itself will open in the same window.

Let it Snow Plugin
Permalink: http://flatpress.georgi.co.uk/?x=entry:entry111218-124042The Let it Snow plugin adds some quite unnecessary fluff to your blog, but some people may like it.
You can configure various parameters such as the number of flakes, snowfall speed, flake colours (you can set it to show multi-coloured flakes), and even get it to snow the name of your favourite football team instead of snowflakes, by editing the file called plugin.letitsnow.php in your favourite text editor and changing the “*” character to something more to your liking.

FlatClocks
Permalink: http://flatpress.georgi.co.uk/?x=entry:entry111216-110230Instead of customising the Canvas Clock Plugin to suit your own needs you may prefer to download one of these pre-configured clocks. If you’d like to share your own great clock design here, simply add a comment with a link to the download file. [Read More…]

Georgi contracted encephalitis and fell into a coma in the summer of 2007. He’s a strong boy and survived, but he suffered brain damage and still can’t walk or talk (well, not very well - but he does try). He’s growing all the time and every penny we collect goes towards his upkeep, and towards his future care requirements.
