Speaking of the WordPress Plugin Competition and writing new plugins, here is a WordPress Plugin Generator. Intriguing name, isn’t it? No, it does not write all WordPress plugins for you on demand and no it does not have AI. This tool will help you create a template for your own WordPress plugin. and it literally does just that. If you are new to WordPress or to writing plugins and you want a quick and dirty template with some of the fixin’s, the WordPress Plugin Generator is your ticket to your plugin’s inception. The tweakable features include the name of the plugin, some rudimentary and commonly used locations for result insertion on your blog, the framework for a config page, wpdb integration and comment and GPL in the header. It is definitely a good starting point. A word of friendly warning, the page’s style is completely broken on my Firefox. Thanks […]

WordPress Plugin Competition Updates

The WordPress Plugin Competition is going strong with 15 plugins announced and actively being developed and at least five more in the works. I am hoping that more developers will throw their hats into the arena in the next couple of weeks. Remember the last date of the competition is the 31st of July. That means that if you are planning to enter the competition, you will need to have submitted your plugin to me via email by the end of that day. I have added a ChipIn widget to the competition blog to collect donations for prizes and I thank every sponsor and donor. We have some really great sponsors for the competition and so far the prizes are eclectic and pretty cool. We have also collected almost $900 $1000 from various donors as prizes for the competition. I am hesitant to put together the final three sets of […]

Buzz Me is a service that allows you to “burn” your feed for mobile phones. I first saw this service on Performancing and it looked interesting. The service is fairly flexible and you can burn feeds of almost any blog or website that offers a feed on its own. It generates a feed page for your mobile phone that you can visit at your leisure to read your favorite feeds. Though I have some technical questions about the service, the FAQ page (on WordPress) explains the nuances in some detail and there is a page for publishers to offer up the service to their readers. I had trouble finding a name or brand that was consistent which I thought was odd and I am assuming they want to call their service Buzz Me. I stopped short of signing up because their terms of service put me off a bit with […]

Feedburner announced today that they are now offering FeedBurner Integration for Blogspot Blogs but what they failed to mention was that now you can redirect the feed of your BlogSpot blog to any other URI. That should make a move from Blogger to WordPress (or any other blogging tool) completely transparent to your feed consumers. You could also insulate against or prepare for a future migration and move your feed over to another source. Thanks to Digital Inspiration for the tip.

No Sponsored themes on WeblogToolsCollection

We will not promote sponsored themes on WeblogToolsCollection any more. There are a bunch of reasons for this decision much of which has been rehashed in the past. Things have gone downhill since then. I cannot hope to please everyone and I do not apologize or repent for this decision. I believe that this is in the best interest of the community and this is the best way I can serve my readers. I strongly urge sponsored theme authors to reconsider their means and I laud those who choose to offer their themes to the community without sponsored links.
