WordPress Mod: Amazon QuickTags

Friday, March 11, 2005

I wanted to add nifty little Amazon links to my posting window … so I did. Grab my zipped version of quicktags.js and you can, too. This is the javascript file that builds the row of buttons above your posting window (e.g. str, em, del, etc.) My version adds two buttons: one for quick-linking to an item at Amazon via its ASIN and one for quick-linking to an Amazon search.

Simpsons WP Plugin

Tuesday, March 8, 2005

I spent a few minutes goofing off tonight and grabbed an ultra-nifty Simpsons Plugin for WordPress. I hacked it a smidge and added about twenty more quotes. Trés cool. It’s amazing that there are just no decent Simpsons images on the ‘net. I seem to remember FOX going nuts on copyright violation a few years ago. It’s hard to imagine that they are that ruthless. How could they have wiped the entire Internet of good Simpsons graphics? What’s even harder to imagine is why the “official” Simpsons site would be so incredibly craptacular — all Flash and useless content; they even incorrectly used “lose” instead of “loose” in one spot. Aye carumba.

Is There Anybody Out There?

Tuesday, February 22, 2005

What are the chances that after two+ years of little-to-no posting that anybody will be interested in visiting this site again? I’m guessing pretty slim. In my defense: I’ve been extraordinarily busy. Poor davidgagne.net here was also deluged with about 100 spam comments each day, which is one of the main reasons I finally switched to WordPress. I loved MovableType, but sometimes a man’s gotta bite the bullet. I’ve also learned more than most could hope to care to know about PHP and SQL (and Apache, and Linux, and ASP, and IIS, and …) in the last two+ years, so I’m seriously digging WP.

It looks like I was able to successfully convert my site to WordPress. Maybe now I’ll start posting more often again. :0)

BlogData Tutorial

At the bottom (or top) of each post on this site (and almost all of my MovableType blogs) I present a set of icons which I consider the entry’s “blogdata”. I thought I would share with everyone exactly how I do that. MovableType is excellent for this sort of thing, and Ben and Mena deserve bundles of good karma (and cash, if you have extra).
