WordPress Wednesday: Pithy Quotes Plugin June 24th, 2009 @ 6:15 am PDT

If you look at the top of this page you’ll see that there is a short quip displayed in my header. Every time you visit any page, it changes. I have about fifteen little quotes in my database and they’re set to display randomly with each refresh of the page. I wrote a plugin which […]

WordPress Wednesday: Amazon QuickTags Plugin

WordPress Wednesday: Amazon QuickTags Plugin March 25th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PDT

I published a few articles back in early 2005 and late 2006 explaining how you can edit your WordPress quicktags.js JavaScript file to add new buttons to your Edit Post menu.

WordPress Wednesday: Scheduled Posts

WordPress Wednesday: Scheduled Posts February 4th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PST

There are dozens of awesome features in the WordPress CMS, but one of my favorites is the ability to schedule a post for future publication. You can write a birthday wish to someone months in advance so you don’t have to worry about forgetting. You can plan to have an anniversary note appear on your […]

WordPress Wednesday: LaunchPad

WordPress Wednesday: LaunchPad January 28th, 2009 @ 9:15 am PST

LaunchPad is a killer WordPress “domain parking” theme. It’s the perfect way to let visitors know that something cool is “coming soon” when you’ve registered a domain name but haven’t yet had a chance to actually build anything.
