Plugin Name Feeder Plugin Page http://xubz.com/weblog/2007/03/feeder-wordpress-plugin Description Feeder is a RSS Feed aggregator which parses the feed and displays them in <li> tag. Features – User can control how many links and characters to show. – Can cache the given feed on your server My Review Feeder is a simple to use plugin. The installation process is just like any other plugins. However, you do not get a management interface which would have been ideal for beginners. You will need to edit your template files (e.g. sidebar.php) and add the necessary code. This is where you will pass an RSS2 feed url to the function. You can also pass several other parameters like number of items to display, XHTML tags to use etc. The system to pass the url is good as you will need to pass different feed urls, however, it would have been better to have a management […]

Plugin Name IImage Browser Plugin Page http://fredfred.net/skriker/index.php/iimage-browser Features – Create and browse directories – Upload images and create thumbnails – Delete files – Generates code to insert the image into the post Review I’ve been using this plugin for a long long time, right from the 1.5 days. Even with the new image uploader in WordPress 2.0 and 2.1, I have continued using the plugin. The installation process is a bit cumbersome in my opinion, because it requires you to dump one php file in the plugins folder and another php file in the wp-admin directory before you get the plugin to work. The plugin adds a button to the quicktags toolbar (which is also the toolbar in Code view of the WYSIWYG in WordPress 2.1). Clicking this button launches the image browser, where you can upload images, create directories, create thumbnails, generate the code or delete the images. IImage […]

[EDIT] Thanks for the catch, the date was wrong. Links remain same, but the date changed. 10 Rules for your Small Business Website: Having worked for a small business for some time and with WordPress being such a widely used tool for building small business websites, I think most of these are well thought out and make a lot of sense. My ex-employers website violates almost every rule mentioned. Spotback provides you with a small script to embed on your posts to provide centralized and socialized ranking for almost anything. Visitors will also receive personalized referrals and recommendations from your site or blog. No WordPress plugin available but I am sure the plugin programmers out there can whip something up quite easily with the WordPress hooks available. Perils of Problogging ia points out the Perils of “Problogging” and when I was notified of the entry, I almost felt like I […]

Plugin Name Author Adsense Plugin Page http://www.kinkydress.com/php-scripts/author-adsense/ Description This plugin allows blog authors to enter their Google Adsense Publisher ID and have ads displayed on their own posts generating revenue. Features – Ability to set ratio of author to admin ads – Default fallback to admin Publisher ID in case authors’ ID is blank My Review I decided to test this plugin on my technology blog since I am thinking of opening it up to other authors. Installing the plugin is normal. You can set the admin publisher ID and individual authors can set their IDs in WP-Admin itself, which ensures that there is no messy editing of files. Admins can set the ratio of how much their ads are displayed to that of author ads. However, one feature lacking is to customize this ratio by user. Currently you’re stuck with a fixed ratio, so you can’t give your better […]
