I have updated my Mass Spam Delete plugin for WordPress 1.5, and added a feature or two.
Go over to the announcement and check it out.
Announcing the immediate availability of Persian 1.0 for WordPress 1.2. Persian 1.0 is based on the previous layout of my site which was very well received by the WP community. Persion 1.0 is currently for WordPress 1.2; a 1.3 theme version is coming soon.
Read the rest here: Persian 1.0 announcement.
I am calling it a Post Rating Plugin until I can think of what I really want it to be called.
I have created a plugin that allows your readers to vote on each article you publish on your WP blog. It does loads more than that, but since I have already wrote up a pretty lengthy article about it on my site, I won’t reproduce it here; go over and read it for yourself.
I am looking for beta testers at the moment, so if you would like to give it a whirl and give me some feedback leave a comment or pingback on my site.
UPDATE: Everything is now ready to go, the plugin works well with 1.2 and 1.3 installs of WP with one exception. There has been some problem with WP 1.2.1 when running Kubrick 1.2.6. I am looking into it now, but I thought it was not a deal breaker. If you have any questions leave them for me here or on my site.
Hey everyone, just checking in with a little plugin update. I am releasing a new plugin on Friday the 29th of October called Per Post Comment Text.
In a nutshell this plugin will allow you to specify the text that your link to your comments form holds. Gone are the days of every link on every article being Comments (0), or What do you think? (0). Now you will be able to have your post about motorcycles have this as your comment link: What kind of hog do you ride? (0); or your article about The Grudge have one that says: Did you piss on yourself in this movie? (0).
If you hit my site you can see the plugin in action.
I have just released a new hack for WordPress 1.3+.
Basically it allows you to delete all comments that match a certain set of variables, e.g. all comments from IP 127.0.0.1, with one click. You can find out more info and the download link over at my site, in the post entitled “Well anyway here is the hack…“.
It should be fairly straightforward to use, but as always you can leave any questions you have at my site.
Buh-bye.
I have completed and published the last installment of my tutorial covering how to fake a CMS with WordPress. You can find the announcement of part 1 here.
Part 2 covers some tips and tricks to extend the framework we created in part 1 using some apache tricks and a plugin or two. Hope you find it helpful.
I have thrown together a tutorial that shows you how to use WordPress as a CMS… sorta.
Part 1 is up at my site, you can find it here. Part two should be up soon, and will cover getting the most out of your new WPCMS by combining some plugins with a little apache magic.
Hope to see you there.
Hey, back again with more sillyness.
For those of you who are not quite… how you say happy with the current admin layout in WordPress you now have a choice. I have released the first version of my admin UI redesign over at my site that dramatically streamlines the UI.
One of the exciting things about this is that already there are people running with this creating color variations to widen the choices we will have. Look for more on this in the future.
I have created a plugin for the Text fade in effect described here.
The plugin allows you to specify the value for the fade in on each page it is called. Simply call the function < ?php fade(’value’); ?> where ‘value’ = your custom number for that page, ie 255, 311, whatever in the <head> and you are good.
You can find the plugin in the usual place.
From Scott Merrill(Skippy)’s website:
This modification allows blog authors to assign a minimum user level required to view each post. The default value is zero (retroactively applied to all existing posts), which means anyone can see the post. By choosing the post level on the admin post or edit screen, the author can limit who sees what.
This looks to be a very useful tool for community sites powered by WordPress and it is from Skippy, so you know it is a quality production.
Check it out over here.
I have released an extensive hack for WordPress 1.2+ to give you post per post Copyrighting ability.
You can see more about it over on my blog, and you can also see it running there as well.
This feature is very handy for those of us who like to provide content under different licenses.
Have you ever wanted an easy way to check the overall state of your blog?
Well I did, but could never come up with a good solution. Flash forward a couple of days/weeks/months and I run across a proposal by UI Guru mpt on the WordPress Wiki. I thought that layout was genius, and I had to have it… now.
So after 4 or 5 hours of hacking and testing, enter wp-glance.
wp-glance gives you an easily readable UI to get up to the date information concerning your WordPress powered weblog. From the local time of the webserver your blog resides on, to a smattering of page view statistics (powered by my lovely wp-yansp aka Yet Another Stats Plugin of course!), and a plethora of fun info. You can find a screenshot of the page over here
Once implemented, wp-glance will replace your index.php file within your /wp-admin/ directory.
