Hot from the press: I got 4th spot (also known as "Consolation Prize":) at the WordPress Plugin Competition, with my (uberleet) plugin Who Sees Ads (also known as "The Ultimate Ad Management Plugin"). I'm pretty happy about it, especially given how my plugin is not geared toward the majority of WP users: most are not running ads, or are not…
Let Adii self introduce him: "I'm a freelance web designer & strategist from Cape Town, South Africa and I specialize in WordPress designs. I'm currently finishing my Honours in Business Strategy and I would love to combine traditional business models with the new principles and philosophies of Web 2.0." When Adii asked me to review his site, I was pretty…
If you're following the Plugin Competition you already know about it, I've released yesterday my latest plugin, codename Who Sees Ads. As far as I know, and to date, this is truly the most advanced and powerful ad management plugin, with the following features: Easy ad management: inline or in PHP templates, inserting your ads is now a handy one-liner.…
Glossy WordPress Logos: crisp and glossy logos available in several colors. Very nice.
When the day slowly finishes, when kids have gone to bed and the dishwasher is purring, is my usual end-of-day routine is about reading my mails, answering some, and have a look at del.icio.us popular links. And every few days, I just feel like I'm trapped in a space-time continuum distortion, and again comes that feeling of déjà-vu. Same 2¢â€¦
I've seen recently a lot of plugins for WordPress aimed at taking care of the duplicate content issue in search engines. Don't get me wrong, those plugins are doing well what they were created for : adding a meta tag in some pages so that Googlebot and its friends don't index them. The problem is that doing such a thing…
I came across this little rant about people not writing "WordPress" as it should be (one word, capitalized W and P). While a part of me thought "damn it, who cares", another part was slightly amused. So, this morning, I decided that I would take care of those obsessed people with a simple plugin, and I literally wrote Correctly Spell…
I've just come across Le HibOO (phonetically "the owl" in French), an online magazine about music, movies, clubbing and everything related to going out. I usually spot within seconds if a given site uses WordPress, but this time if it wasn't for the little WP logo in the lower right corner, I would never have found out. I must say I'm pretty impressed with their layout and how they're featuring elements. Very very nice job.
I'm currently giving a new plugin a try: Odiogo's Listen Button converts your posts to an audio file, ready to be downloaded, podcasted, or just played from within the page while you're reading it. A few years ago I had tried something similar, but it sort of sucked: you needed to register first in order to play audio files. Hopefuly…
You may have seen a nasty Error 500 for the past two or three hours here, and this is the second time I've had this kind of trouble. Site up, MySQL up, stuff looking OK, except that everything related to WordPress, including the admin area, dies returning an error. It turned out that the culprit was… WordPress' Cache. Apparently, there…
