Adobe Trolling on MovableType, Prefers WordPress

"Powered by a blogging system that's not as good as WordPress but still tries really hard", where the "tries really hard" part links to Sixapart's Movable Type. This trollicious caption can be found on Penguin.SWF, the Adobe blog that tracks development status of the Linux flavor of Adobe’s Flash Player. Being the biased WP user I am, I find this…

Give your Admin Area Some Colorful Love

Two months ago, I wrote an article about per-user admin color schemes that WordPress 2.5 brought in its bag of new features. A few days laters, I received an email from COLOURlovers' chief lover, Darius, letting me know about the API they were about to release (and did released since, of course) At this time, I had no spare time…

It’s Still Cooking… And It’s Hot!

I've been a Colour Lover since a few years, I love that site. A few weeks ago, they sent me an email telling that they were about to release an API to play with colors and palettes created by other color lovers, so what could I do? A WordPress plugin, obviously. Warning: this is going to be TAFW (Too Addictive…

Kaspars updated is fun plugin Baltic Amber (bringing some refreshing change in the WordPress backend with a set of new stylesheets) to make it fully compatible with my own Admin Drop Down Menu. He threw in some really nice subtle tweaks (see screenshot) that make the two plugins coexist very harmoniously. Good job Kaspars! :)

ShareWP : Digg for WordPress

ShareWP is a digg-like site (using Pligg I think) dedicated solely to, obviously, WordPress.

Cute Little Plugin: Better Plugin Page

My "Manage Plugins" page are getting quite lengthy: this blogs is running 31 plugins, my test blog is running nearly a hundred. Over the time I have been bringing a few custom enhancements to this page, which I'm now releasing as a plugin. Better Plugin Page adds some simple yet efficient (at least I think:) improvements and less clutter, with…

For those who have updated to Admin Drop Down Menu v2.1 yesterday, if you happen to also use Fluency, please re-download my plugin. I fixed compatibility between them, everything should be fine now.
