Post Teaser WordPress plugin: Interesting plugin that lets you create teasers for long posts. I could see a lot of use for this if you like having a “more” link in your posts.

I am sure that I am going to eat these words as soon as I write them, but I am not buying. Literally, I am not buying an iPod so I can Podcast! Sure I can make any such device work with enclosure supported weblog feeds and sure WordPress supports enclosures now. I know that I can add casts to this weblog using WordPress 1.3 and I can do a bunch of cool stuff with the Windows Podcasting application that I am writing. But do we really want to *listen* to one person rambling on? What are your podcasting experiences? Do you like to listen to a single voice ramble on? I would think that a Podcast that you can download to your device and listen to (say in your car) would make you feel a closer bond with the person you are listening to. While on the subject, how […]

New anti-spam trick: Check if your comments came from open proxies before even beginning to process them. I like Kitten’s suggestion that this should go in before the wp-comments-post.php in WordPress. This trick can be used in non-Wordpress blogs as well. Via: PhotoMatt

Since there is not much going on in the blogosphere besides comment spam, I thought I would bring out an age old topic that always portends a lot of exciting discourse. I have had the opportunity to name a few. The first was Mindful Musings. I did spend a lot of time thinking about that one. I wanted to express my frustrations, fears, anger, loathe, rant as well as my joy, pleasure and satisfaction in my blog. I wanted to be creative and artsy. I wanted people to remember the name long after they had left my blog. Since I did not have the money to buy a domain, I never did search to make sure it was available. I just made sure it sounded catchy to me. For Weblogtoolscollection.com, I had wanted to start a blog about blogging tools and did some reasearch on the names available. At first […]

BookListR plugin for WordPress: REST interface to Amazon’s books.

I need a lot more alpha testers. Please email me or leave a comment if interested. I do not want to release it for general download and thus the lack of a real release. Spread the word. [EDIT] Come on, some more testers…please? 🙂 If you are one of the plugin users…any comments?

I am sure this has been circulated over and over again in WordPress support circles, but I just came across it when I upgraded a test blog. Basically, after upgrading to 1.2.1 if you try to login to your wp-admin interface, you might get a “Redirection limit Exceeded Error” which comes back with reboots and browser restarts. The error comes from the cookie that is setup on your browser from the old admin interface. Clear all cookies and you should be back to normal.
