Image Symlinks

    22:17 on December 28th, 2009 , , ,

Image Symlinks is born of a desire to speed up and simplify Wordpress post images, while retaining quality. Very briefly, it works like this:

Anti Feed-Scraper Message Plugin For Wordpress [Updated November 09]

    15:25 on July 24th, 2009 , ,

Anti-feed-scraper plugin is a really simple plugin which helps you give the so-called “feed scraper bots” a hard time.
A feed scraper is a script that explores various XML feeds and bluntly copies content in various categories. The purpose, I assume, is to create a useless ghost-blog with faux contents, either because the bot-puppeteer was lazy [...]

Absolute Links, Runtime (Plugin for Wordpress)

    12:37 on March 18th, 2009 , ,

If you, like me, type in relative URLs to images and links that are local to your server, you probably didn’t know that means images in your feed are broken. Feeds require absolute URLs for both your images and your links.
This plugin is super minimalistic. It simply looks for any relative URLs you have written, [...]

Special Feed Items Plugin for Wordpress

    13:40 on February 22nd, 2009 , ,

I believe it was John Gruber who started the trend: adding small unicode symbols in front of noteworthy feed items. Because this was such a great idea, I’ve started providing little ♥ icons next to noteworthy feed icons.

Extra Image Tags Plugin

    16:08 on January 29th, 2009 , ,

This is a very minimalistic Wordpress plugin, which finds all images you insert into your posts, and wraps them in extra span’s, so you can style the hell out of them. The smart thing is that this is done “compile-time”, meaning when Wordpress outputs your posts. That means you won’t see the extra tags on [...]

    12:11 on December 27th, 2008 , , ,

Todays serving is another Wordpress plugin. It is written as part of my community service program and with its release, I hope to have paid back what I have taken from the open source community (damn you, GPL, and your “stay free” mantra).
In any case, this plugin is for the minimalists who needs to embed [...]
