Building your own WordPress Plugin Series: Ronald over at Devlounge has been putting together a very nice series of articles on developing WordPress plugins. Though I believe that these are not designed for the hard core programmer (WordPress newbies might benefits from a quick looksee), they are written quite well with good examples and might make a good project for the weekend coder. I link to the News Post since I cannot find a good place where all the articles are linked. The articles so far include the following: How to write a wordpress plugin – Introduction Seven reasons to write a wordpress plugin How to get ideas for wordpress plugins Structure of a wordpress plugin WordPress plugin actions WordPress plugin filters Ronald writes well and I like his work. Be sure to ask lots of questions!

Corel’s WordPerfect Lightning Integrates with WordPress: Corel told Read/WriteWeb that “tens of thousands of people” have downloaded and tried WordPerfect Lightning so far. The impending update (which goes live tomorrow morning) will add integration with WordPress, enabling users to repurpose content for their blogs. Corel told us that with WordPress’ open SDK and strong support for images, it makes it easy for Lightning users to blog information they’ve collected. Lighning is a web and desktop content aggregator from Corel that was launched in February.

Wizard of WordPress: Speaking of Matt and WordPress 2.2, CNET’s Rafe Needleman sits down with Matt for a video interview and delves into a lot more than just WordPress. The interview is divided into two parts. The first part, linked above, deals mostly with blogging in general, money from blogging, US candidate blogs Matt’s opinions on the blogosphere. The second part deals more with WordPress, new version 2.2, widgets, Web 2.0, Akismet and the like. The title for the second interview really threw me off and I won’t ruin the surprise any further. Matt is a really personable and articulate video interviewee and I am sure his presentations are just as much fun to attend. Every time I listen to him speak on almost any topic about the web, his knowledge and his stance really complement each other.

APAD: Better Comments Manager

20
responses

Plugin Better Comments Manager Description Better Comments Manager is an extension of the default WordPress comments manager with two features. Features – Reply to comment from within WordPress Admin Panel. – View All Comments based by posts. Review IMO, this plugin should not exist. Infact the two features that this plugin adds need to be within the WordPress core itself. Anyway, for those who haven’t started using this plugin yet, let me explain. By default, whenever you want to reply to a comment on your blog post, you need to visit the post page, get to the comments form and reply there. This means additional bandwidth drawn from your site as well from your internet connection, not to mention the time that you need to wait for the post page to load and then for the page to load with your new comment added. BCM (can I call it BCM?) […]

Hark Ye Theme Authors!

A few months ago I wrote a post and made some suggestions on listing themes for public distribution on WeblogToolsCollection. While some do follow these guidelines (thanks!), most theme listings are annoyingly apathetic. Instead of a rant, I figure that I will write another post on getting your plugins and themes listed here on Weblog Tools Collection and on providing your best face to your audience. If you would like to submit a theme or a plugin for listing in our daily release posts, then do read the Submit News page for basic guidelines. The best method is to post your news in our News Forum. The news forum is heavily visited and that is the first place we check when looking for new plugins and theme releases. Infact, we list almost all the themes and plugins that are publihed in the News Forums. I say almost because some of […]

MyBlogLog to Rebrand and Make Significant Changes: I believe that this is good news. Yahoo is going to rebrand MyBlogLog and they will make some effort to remove offensive photos, remove certain types of sites and make it more corporate friendly. I liked the product and I think that some housekeeping will go a long way in making the tools more usable and presentable.
