new look-and-feel plus Hemingway last.fm block

Now that we’ve got a new server, I’ve gotta change my wp-theme. I’ve decided to go retro to the 1-column setup and adopt the Hemingway stylesheets and layout. In addition, I’ve configured the flickr rss plug-in block - so now my Flickr stream is live on the bottom of the page.

One of the cool things about Hemingway is that you can add your own little blocks to the bottom of the page. The blocks are three column oriented and are constant throughout the site. I whipped up this quick block to include the Last.fm plug-in by tijs.org so all of you could see what music I had recently listened to. Here’s the code:

To use this block, you must:

1. copy and paste this code into a file called lastfm.php
2. replace my username (aki51) with yours
3. put the lastfm.php file in your wp-content/theme/hemingway/blocks directory
4. visit the Presentation -> Hemingway Options page
5. it will tell you that you have a new block and must install it. give it a name and click install
6. lastly, drag the last.fm block to one of your columns and you’re set

Enjoy!
