LinkyLoo, WordPress Plugins

Andrew Rickmann recently launched a neat new site called Fun With WordPress to showcase some of his WordPress projects. One of the first tools he has published is called Fun With Plugins. The tool acts like a plugin wizard, and after you answer several questions, the tool generates a downloadable plugin file. One of the things I like about this tool compared to similar ones is the automatic namespacing, and support for some of the more advanced things plugin authors take advantage of including localization and admin menus. Future versions promise Ajax support, style support, client side scripting, and an automatically generated WP Extend readme file. Be sure to check out the tool and let Andrew know how he can make it even better.

Simplified ad management is rolling out now: The AdSense team had given everyone a sneak peek into their new AdSense management interface with which a publisher could tweak some of the parameters of an AdSense block without having to change the code. It is relatively simple to import your AdSense code from existing blocks and then tweak the settings. Changes take upto a minute to display and you cannot change the size of the block through this new interface. Look for it under the “Manage Ads” menu at the top when you are logged into AdSense. Have you used it yet? Do you like it?

Saturday Subscriber Count Drop?: If you were wondering what caused a huge drop in your subscriber count this morning in the Feedburner chicklet, their blog has an explanation. I figured Google was not returning their numbers correctly since subscriber details showed none from Google. The whole Feedburner chicklet thing is a little very narcissistic and might be less valuable/reliable than most of us would like to believe, but I am a sucker for stats. PS: Mr. Cashmore, you need a search form that is easy to find.

HOW-TO, LinkyLoo

The Washington Post has an article called Be More Than a Blip in the Blogosphere which is on how to make your blog more popular. I used to like linking to a couple of these in a month but lately “write a better blog” articles have turned into “how to make affiliate money online”. This one from the Washington Post however, is down to earth and easy to read and follow, which are important qualities in How To articles.

WordPress Theme Cheat Sheet

responses

The WordPress Help Cheat Sheet: Is a nifty little collection of code snippets and helpful bits of information aimed directly towards theme and template developers who need a reminder once in a while. Nice to print out and put somewhere handy. If you get lost looking for the link to the actual PDF download, look for it at the bottom of the post, towards the right under the word link. (yes, the authors need to make the most important content of a post easily visible and identifiable)

WeblogToolsCollection Plugin Housekeeping

responses

I have added a few plugins and tweaked a bit of the code on WeblogToolsCollection to keep things fresh and new. Here is the list. WhoSeesAds: I have been meaning to wean out the Google AdSense ads for my regular visitors and Ozh’s plugin was the ticket. If you have not used it yet, you are missing out. It is one of the finest pieces of useful and well thought out code for WordPress bloggers. I have the ads set so they only show for posts older than 30 days or if you are not a regular visitor. I like the lack of distractive AdSense blocks. There is also a distinct benefit that I had not anticipated. The best paying AdSense block on this blog has also been the most obnoxious that regular readers have complained about. I can now display those ads to people that happen to stop by […]

LinkyLoo, WordPress Hack

Easy Asides for WordPress: Daniel has come up with another way to easily add “Asides” to your WordPress install. I use the category LinkyLoo (Of which this post is an example. If you are reading this is a feed reader, you are missing the effect) to the same effect. His method is WordPress 2.3 compatible and though it involves code modification, it is not very complex to implement.

The science of blog reading: Nick Carr gives us an executive summary of an article by a team from CMU (and Nielsen) and he explains their thesis with the following foreword: The problem of detecting contaminants in a public water system is analogous to the problem of figuring out what’s going on in the blogosphere. Any article that claims that the blogosphere is essentially a sewer, is worth the read. I whole heartedly disagree with the list of 100 blogs that “everyone should read” but the concept is amusing and the principles behind their claims might have some merits. But then again I disagree with any and all such lists because all blogs and their readers do not have the same interest in all subject matters. Also as an astute commenter on that post points out, some of the blogs on that list aren’t even updated anymore and thus their […]
