Gravatar recently launched Hovercards, a new feature that servers as a nifty bridge between your Gravatar and your Gravatar Profile. Hovercards have already been enabled throughout WordPress.com and WordPress.org, and there is an official plugin in the works, but what if you can’t wait for the official plugin to add Hovercards to your WordPress blog? If your theme has a functions.php file, just add the following line within the file: wp_enqueue_script( ‘gprofiles’, ‘http://s.gravatar.com/js/gprofiles.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), ‘e’, true ); If your theme doesn’t have a functions.php file, or you’d rather not mess with it, use a plain text editor to create a file called hovercards.php with the following content, then use an FTP or SFTP client to upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory, and activate it via the Plugins section of the admin panel. <?php /* Plugin Name: Hovercards */ wp_enqueue_script( ‘gprofiles’, ‘http://s.gravatar.com/js/gprofiles.js’, array( ‘jquery’ ), ‘e’, true ); ?> […]

The WordPress.com team has now made it even easier to leave your WordPress.com blog for a self-hosted WordPress blog. The new offsite redirect upgrade allows you to easily redirect your blogname.wordpress.com blog and all of its permalinks to your new domain. The previous redirection method was a five-step process that had a tendency to cause some confusion during implementation. Now, all you need to do is export your blog, purchase the offsite redirect upgrade for $12/year (the same price as the previous redirection method), and enter your new domain name. Matt Mullenweg, Automattic’s one and only Chief BBQ Taste Tester, highlighted the importance of the new offsite redirection upgrade, stating “the easier you make it for people to go, the more likely they are to stay.” The psychology certainly makes sense to me. I’d be less tempted to make a panic-influenced exit if I knew it was easy to leave […]

A few days ago, Mark asked to hear about your “top 5 plugins that you WordPress geniuses use in every one of your WordPress installs.” With almost fifty responses, it’s great to see that so many people consider the same or similar plugins as their top five. Without further delay, here are the top ten of your top five plugins. Akismet: This plugin should be the front line of your blog’s anti-spam defenses.
