Dear Reader,
Thanks to someone who doesn’t use Alexify but wanted me to do his research for him, I found out that Alexa has changed the URL for their thumbnail engine. So I’ve changed the plugin and am releasing it into the wild.
Until next time,

Dear Reader,
Minor feature added and a bug fix. Thanks to this conversation, I’ve figured out that I really need to urlencode the urls before placing them in the href. So I’ve done that. In the process, I noticed that I left furl out of the list. There was a checkbox on the admin [...]

Dear Reader,
Quickie here. The API for www.alexadex.com changed. (Thanks Colin, you rock) So here’s the update to keep things in sync.
The interface now tells us when the price last changed. I’ll update the plug in to incorporate that info this weekend.
TarBall and Zip file are available on the project page.
Until next time,

Dear Reader,
Yep, that time again. Let’s play PLUG-IN!
I was surfing around the other day and saw a cool site www.alexadex.com. If your site is tracked by alexa.com then this site allows you to purchase shares in your or any other blog. (Funny money of course) It’s a pretty cool game. But I want everybody [...]

Yep, it’s that time again. Time to start updating the BlogBling plugins. Hey, if I don’t make some change every week, how do you expect me to sustain my hit rate? :)

Dear Reader,
A quick one here for those writing WordPress plugins. I’m experimenting with something here and thought I’d share. One thing that bugs me about writing plugins is when I make a new version, I have to go to several places and announce that there’s an update available. So I’m toying with the [...]
Dear Reader,
In keeping with my current trend, I’m recycling yet another old piece of code. This time, however, I didn’t plan on it. Thanks to Fred, I found yet another bug in what I thought was a very simple piece of code.
