Image Symlinks
Image Symlinks is born of a desire to speed up and simplify Wordpress post images, while retaining quality. Very briefly, it works like this:
Upload large source image
Use Symlink-image-button to insert image into post
Decide width and/or height of inserted image
How’s that different from using the built-in Wordpress image upload and insertion mechanism? To put it shortly, [...]
Tweaking My Ratings Plugin: Pennies For Your Thoughts [Update]
If you’re a b-movie critic and blogger, you should be using my Ratings Short-tags plugin for Wordpress. It allows you to easily insert star or heart ratings that look like this: ♥♥♥♥♥♥.
At the time of the plugins release, a requested feature was the ability to display a list of posts that contained similar ratings (for [...]
An Alternative Way Of Posting Images To Your Wordpress Blog Using Symbolic Links To Zenphoto Images
Wordpress has image management features which makes uploading and inserting images easy. When it comes to resizing and cache management, however, Wordpress falls short. Wordpress works like this: you configure your media sizes in the “Media” section of Wordpress. Once this is done, every image you upload to Wordpress is resized into these predefined sizes [...]
Anti Feed-Scraper Message Plugin For Wordpress [Updated November 09]
Anti-feed-scraper plugin is a really simple plugin which helps you give the so-called “feed scraper bots” a hard time.

To speed things up, I offered the WPML developers a usability review, and it’s now been published on their [...]
10 Changes To Wordpress That Would Make It A Killer CMS
Since going freelance, I’ve supplied customers with a number of “Wordpress as a CMS” solutions. Not only because Wordpress is free and fairly userfriendly, but because for most websites Wordpress is more than enough and certainly more than solely a blog platform. So much, in fact, that I’ll bet you Wordpress is the next big [...]
Color Wheel Styler Plugin for Wordpress
This plugin lets you use a convenient color wheel to assign colors to various sections of your Wordpress powered website.
The plugin is powered by jQuery and the lovely Farbtastic.
Currently the plugin is supremely minimalistic and simply allows you to color your sidebar, your body text, your links and your background. However, with very little tweaking, [...]
Absolute Links, Runtime (Plugin for Wordpress)
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, [...]
Carousel Gallery (jQuery) for Wordpress [Updated January 2010]
This plugin builds on the builtin Wordpress gallery, and replaces any gallery inserted using the tag with a neat jQuery powered carousel. By carousel it means you can browse through all the pictures in the gallery and they’ll slide from the right to the left and seamlessly start over at the end.
This right above [...]
It’s Plugin Update Day!
