So what you would like is an easy way in the middle of a blog posting to find a link to a product, and an image, and tie the link up with your associate ID? Have you tried doing this quickly on Amazon? Not much fun. Here to save the day is WP-Amazon.
I’d suggest installing [...]

Well Lorelle has got me writing again, with her article about admin plugins for Wordpress. There were a few in there I liked the look of, so I’m going to work through them and see how I get on. The first is Diagnosis, which is a simple but very useful addition that tells you quite [...]

I’m picking up on the post from Lorelle on her Lorelle on Wordpress blog about testing your blogs development. She lists a set of links you can test your blog on, and see what sort of results are returned. So without further ado:
Live Google PageRank - Results
An average pagerank of 2.7, which considering that when [...]

So it was late. It was the wrong time of night to be playing with those sorts of options. And I compounded my error with the classic mistake of “oh, it’s a little change, I won’t need a backup”. Let both of those mistakes be lessons I learn.

I’ve been asked to find a Wordpress plugin for source-code highlighting in posts. My first research leads me to the belief that the area to look at are plugins which use the Generic Syntax Highlighter or GeSHi. This can handle over 200 different languages, so should be flexible enough for our needs.
So the first plugin [...]

I’ve been meaning for a while to submit the sitemaps for my domains to Google’s Webmaster Central site. Having a sitemap for the googlebot to read improves how your site is crawled, and means only the pages you want are submitted. It has recently also become a format recognised by Google, Yahoo and Microsoft, which [...]

I’ve just started using Dean’s FCK Wordpress plugin on this blog. I really am not a fan of the standard WYSIWYG Wordpress editor, it is really flakey, and not very intuitive. The FCK editor is a bit more comprehensive, and as it happens, I am also more used to it, as it is in the [...]
