Wordpress Themes related

There are many many many (and even more) themes for Wordpress around. I’m contributing a bit to this creative buzz.

• Framework : Wordpress Theme Toolkit

  Theme authors now have the opportunity of adding an admin menu to their theme as easily as editing 3 lines. And I mean it. Lots of examples provided.

• Utility : Wordpress Theme Zip

  Generate on the fly zip archive from a theme directory. Lazy theme authors use this to avoid the hassle of updating and uploading a new zip file every time they make a change to a file.

• Theme : MiniBlog

  A tiny, grey shaded, lightweight and soft theme.

• Theme : Problogger Clean

  I worked with Tim Yang on what has to be the first Adsense optimized Wordpress theme, with unique features powered by my Wordpress Theme Toolkit.

• Theme : Minimalissimplistic

  Elastic minimalist layout with additionnal features all driven from an admin menu, integrated in Wordpress admin area. This theme is an example of how easy it is to add an admin menu when using Wordpress Theme Toolkit.

Wordpress Plugins

Wordpress is a wonderful blogware, written in PHP, free and free, and which allows users to add plugins to perform tasks without editing core files. I’ve written a few plugins myself.

• Plugin: Absolute Comments

  Managing comments, the way it was meant to be. Reply to comments from your “Manage Comments” page, or from the notification email, without having to visit the post page first. Supports threaded comments, and fully translated in several languages. A must-have for any blog with more than 10 comments.

• Plugin: Who Sees Ads

  The ultimate ad management plugin. Manage all your ads and decide who will see them, depending on the context: first time visitor or long time reader, search engine visitor, timeframe, ad view count, age of post, etc… Comes with an advanced user interface to visually create display rules.

• Plugin: Correctly Spell WordPress

  Simple plugin to never write again Wordpress, Word Press or whatever. One word, capital W and P, it’s WordPress!

• Plugin / Widget : Your Youtube Favorite Videos

  Publicize and share the favorite videos you bookmarked on Youtube. Comes with a very clean Widget interface.

• Script: Hooks and Filters Flow

  Not a plugin, but a debug help : lists every filter / action for every hook on your blog. Lets you hunt down plugin priority conflicts.

• Plugin: FAQ Auto Responder

  Have a blog where readers often ask the same questions ? Give the Auto Responder a try and save your support time !

• Plugin: Wordpress Admin Drop Down Menu

  The lazy and the productive will love it : all admin links available in a neat CSS driven drop down menu. No need to click on “Manage” then “Comments” to edit comments, go to any admin page from any admin page. Demo.

• Plugin: Better Feed

  Your feed, on steroids : add a custom footer to RSS items with, for example, a copyright notice, a “Read More (400 words)” links, an “Add to del.icio.us” link, a list of related entries. Improve connectivity between your feed and your site.

• Plugin : Random Words

  Want a random quote plugin ? Want to change the old boring comment pages full of “Joe said” with something random like “Joe thought“, “Joe wrote” and “Joe replied” ?
  Random Words is a Wordpress Plugin allowing you to manage a number of lists with any items, and display random items from these lists. Everything is managed from within the Admin interface of your blog, in a very neat interface.

• Plugin : Avatar Popup

  Personalize, if not humanize, your posts, adding (CSS) popups containings avatars next to mailto links, as well as next to any word. You can chose avatar images, or let Gravatar chose it for you.

• Plugin : Auto Moderate Comments

  When a post gets old, instead of simply closing it, send comments and trackbacks to the moderation queue.

• Plugin : taga.licio.us : a Way to Integrate del.icio.us

  Taga.licio.us is a tag filter for del.icio.us/ : it produces a page with links from selected tags, allows to integrate del.icio.us links for one or more tags into an existing page, limited to a specified “freshness” (links of the day ? of the hour ?), and comes with gazillions of options. If you are a Wordpress user, it is also able to directly post into your database to, say, run the script daily at fixed hour and print links on a given subject right into your blog. Not only your links. Everyone’s links.

• Plugin : Wordpress Category Map

  Before “tag clouds” or “heat maps” were famous, this plugin created a … tag cloud, or heat map, from your Categories !

• Plugin : Click Counter for Wordpress

  You have a blog. You have stats telling you how many people read it. You post links. But do you have something telling you how many people click on your links ?

• Plugin : IP to Nation

  Guesses your visitor’s Country from his IP.

For more Wordpress related stuff, you could also browse the Wordpress archive of my blog. Many tips, tricks, links and winks.

You can also have a look at Planet Wordpress that aggregate several Wordpress related feeds.

Other PHP (non Wordpress) stuff

I’m not all Wordpress. Well, sometimes at least. I blog PHP bits from time to time (browse the PHP archive) and my bigger things are :

• SEO : The Typo Trap

  The Typo Trap is a misspellings (aka typos) generator. While this will sound silly to most people, those who know a bit about Search Engine Optimization know how valueable this can be. Did you say “keyword spam” ?
  Celebrity Endorsement : SEO Black Hat

• Adsense : Adsense Earnings RSS Feed

  Generate an RSS feed from your daily Adsense earnings, so that you can track them within your favorite feed reader.

  PHP interface to send remote console (rcon) commands to a Quake3 server. It has about all the features a server admin should need, all packed in a compact interface.

• Links : taga.licio.us : a Way to Integrate del.icio.us

  Taga.licio.us is a tag filter for del.icio.us/ : it produces a page with links from selected tags, allows to integrate del.icio.us links for one or more tags into an existing page, limited to a specified “freshness” (links of the day ? of the hour ?), and comes with gazillions of options. Not only your links. Everyone’s links.

Other programming languages

One of the primary goal of my blog was to be a code repository for every one liner I was writing and didn’t want to forget. You’ll find some PHP snippets, bash bits and Perl scripts.

All these stuff are gathered inside the Code archive of my blog.
