Alexify Update

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.

Notable Update

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 [...]

Alexadex Update

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.

TarBall and Zip file are available on the project page.
Until next time,

WP-Alexify has been updated. This is a major change. I removed the JavaScript I was using to display the tooltip and went [...]

Dear Reader,
Grab your hip-waders and don your helmets boys, we are going in. Yep, I’ve released yet another plugin in my series. This one puts a bar of icons at the bottom of each post allowing your readers to submit your posts to several different social networking and bookmarking sites. (del.icio.us, digg, fark, [...]

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 [...]

UPDATE: AIM Online Stats for WP.

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.
