Basic Steps ∞

1) Restore from XML ∞

Import from WordPress eXtended RSS (WXR)

2) Adjust configuration ∞

(TODO - take the notes from below, on this page)

3) Install and configure plugins ∞

WordPress plugins - ( Actively-used plugins )

Each plugin's page has its own configuration notes.

Note that plugins can probably be copied from a local cache, though that method is untested.

I delete all of these, although it would be fine to leave these alone since they're not shown.

Permalinks ∞

permalink

(o) Custom Structure /%post_id%/%postname%.html
- This format lets me (1) easily see my short URL, (2) provide a pretty, SEO-friendly URL, (3) have a re-nameable URL that won't break, (4) leverage a side-effect of the url rewrite that lets http://blog.spiralofhope.com/__/TITLE use TITLE as a title search which visits the first/complete match.
- While /?p=%post_id%/%postname%.html will work, it requires all kinds of fucking around for tag URLs, and screws up admin links like http://blog.spiralofhope.com/wp-admin/edit.php?post_status=draft&post_type=post

TODO ∞

Accesskeys ∞

Is there a way to implement accesskeys? If my code gets automatically updated, then perhaps not.

alt-f for the search field.
- I'm using a keyworded bookmark with Firefox: http://blog.spiralofhope.com/?x=0&y=0&s=%s
alt-e to edit the currently-selected item.
- May not be feasible. The list view may use the same identifier as when looking at just one single entry. Meh.
- I could just modify the top floating bar, which has an edit link when I'm viewing a single editable page.
Editing an entry:
- Alt-s save
- Alt-p preview. Also: Is there a way to switch to that preview tab? Or maybe make it a popup? Right now it only switches to it if it doesn't exist.

Failed attempt one: A child theme with a custom functions.php ∞

I've tried various angles to inject accesskey="e" into the a href but I've had no success.

JQuery doesn't seem to be operating. I've tried various ways of loading it, but it's a no-go.

digwp was a pointer, but I can't get it to work, even copying the example code verbatim.

Spoiler

function custom_toolbar_link($wp_admin_bar) {
  $wp_admin_bar->remove_menu('edit');
        $args = array(
                'id' => 'edit',
                'title' => 'edit',
                'href' => get_edit_post_link( $current_object->ID ),
                'meta' => array(
      'html' => '<script>$j(document).ready(function(){$j(".edit a").attr("accesskey","e");});</script>'
                        )
        );
        $wp_admin_bar->add_node($args);
}
add_action('admin_bar_menu', 'custom_toolbar_link', 999);

Failed attempt two: can't remember ∞

Some other more direct thingy which doesn't edit the admin bar but instead tries to modify the 'edit this' link at the top-left of a page.
