Twitter Widget Pro 1.2.2 Released!
June 26th, 2008
Plugin Release!
I just uploaded version 1.2.2 of my WordPress Twitter Widget Pro plugin. Since twitter has slowed down, a lot of people (especially on slower servers) have been getting the “Could not connect to Twitter” message when twitter was slow but not down. I’ve added a setting on each widget to specify the number [...]
WordPress Google Analytics 1.2.2 Released!
June 13th, 2008
Plugin Release!
I just uploaded version 1.2.2 of my WordPress Google Analytics plugin. It squashes one major bug that has been plaguing some users. Those that switch back and forth from visual to HTML editor, will not longer have problems with it getting stuck!
Please discuss this plugin on the WordPress Google Analytics Plugin post.
WordPress Twitter Widget Pro 1.2.1 released!
June 9th, 2008
Plugin Release!
I just uploaded version 1.2.1 of my WordPress Twitter Widget Pro plugin. It includes the removal of the “friends feed” option, the addition of custom error message setting for when Twitter is down, and optional anonymous statistics collection (more on this in a moment). Unfortunately, the database query that Twitter had to run [...]

Gallery Widget Pro
May 30th, 2008
Plugin Release!
I finally released another one of my plugins. This one is a widget that displays rotating images from a post’s gallery in the sidebar of your site. You just specify the post or page in the widget settings, and it will cycle through all the images from the gallery of that post or [...]
All Work and No Play
May 30th, 2008
Many of you may have noticed that my responses to comments have slowed, and new plugin releases and updates have slowed as well. I’m sorry for the lag, but I do have some great new stuff in the works! The good thing is, the reason for the delays is that Xavisys has been [...]
Reorder Gallery now in WordPress Core
May 21st, 2008
Less than a week ago, I released a new WordPress plugin called “Reorder Gallery” which gave you the ability to change the order of your images when you uploaded them, so that the gallery shortcode would display them in an order of your choosing. Two days later, Matt Mullenweg stopped by to say that [...]
Why Contribute to the Open Source Community
May 17th, 2008
Why not? I know, what a cliché response right? The thing is, it really does apply. I’m going to have to make plugins, enhancements, and patches for WordPress for my customers anyway. By releasing these to the community, I can help other developers, companies, users, and even aspiring developers. So [...]
WordPress Reorder Gallery Plugin
May 15th, 2008
Plugin Release!
When I talked about my first impressions of WordPress 2.5 I mentioned the new shortcodes. Then I went more in depth, as I explained exactly what WordPress Shortcodes were, and how they worked. However, neither time did I mention that there is a shortcode that is built into WordPress (no plugin needed). [...]
Adobe’s take on WordPress vs MovableType
May 15th, 2008
To be fair, this is actually an “Adobe employee’s personal take” (as Anil Dash pointed out) on this situation. My post is not meant as a slam to Movable Type, I simply found humor in the quote on the Adobe blog.
While helping out in the WordPress IRC channel today, someone sent me a link [...]
