I received an email recently with regards to an error in the Quick Menu plugin for WordPress which forced users to PayPal when the Save button was clicked. I can assure you, this wasn’t the intent and I’m sorry for any frustration this may have caused.
I’ve had several people submit donations from this plugin since it’s release and will be sending each of you emails in the coming days to correct the donations.

On Wednesday, while I was cleaning up some WordPress 282 details I took a little bit of time and also upgraded the Random posts plugin and Scheduled posts plugin for WordPress.
These new upgrades allow me to make the most of a common admin interface for all my plugins as well as checking for news related to the plugins straight from the admin panel of the WordPress plugin.
I’ve just updated a minor update to the Popular Posts plugin for WordPress, the changes are mostly cosmetic to help work with WP 282 but there’s a few new features are well, most dramatic I’ve begun the process of converting all my plugins to a new shared administration file structure which should allow me to rapidly release updates
I’m so excited to let everybody know, the new Great Chefs Great Salads cookbook is now available on the App Store from Apple for just 99 cents! The cookbook includes over 20 great recipes from the hit television series, all geared towards helping us beat the heat with some wonderful simple recipes we can share with a salad.
You can download it from the Apple App Store.
I’m a huge fan of helping people get wonderful, quality links for their website and that’s great but it often leads to people abusing plugins such as the List Posts with Pingbacks and Tracks plugin that I put up.
The latest version of the plugin was just uploaded a few seconds ago and now allows you to specify the minimum Pagerank to include in your list of results, I also fixed a small glitch in the nofollow code so it’s been repaired and is working properly.
Please keep in mind the PR check is resource consuming, so you’d best make sure you’re using a caching script before you go running it!
The script has a built in caching tool which requires the directory to be set to 777.
The latest updates include minor formating changes to the administration section as well as the addition of a notification script to check for latest updates.
As with many of my other plugins for WordPress, the update to WordPress 2.8 through a monkey wrench in the formating of the plugin information page. This fix is just a reformatting the administration pages.
While there have been a lot of great fixes in the newest version of WordPress 2.8, the upgrade did some major damage to plugin formating. As a result I’ll be putting in an hour every day for the next couple weeks fixing the formating errors on a variety of plugins.
The No More Frames plugin for WordPress is an awesome plugin that helps websites avoid spam and content theft by breaking the frame when other websites attempt to load content into a frame based web browser.
If you’ve ever wished you could add your own menus to WordPress, then this is the plugin for you!
The WordPress Admin Quick Menu plugin allows you to quickly add new menu items to a special WordPress Quick menu, giving you and your clients fast access to important third party website shortcuts such as Analytics and email as well as adding faster access to internal WordPress pages.
Everyday websites suffer performance loss and higher bills due to bandwidth thieves. This plugin adds the necessary code to your .htaccess file to stop people from loading your graphics from third party websites.
Since many website hosting companies charge per file transferred (or total file transfer size for the month), unscrupulous website owners often load key graphic files from smaller, unsuspecting website owners in hopes of both lowering the costs of running their website and increasing the performance of their site.
This plugin uses Apache’s .htaccess capacity to stop foreign websites from loading images from your web server.
As with many of my free WordPress plugins here on the website this one is used extensively throughout my website to help me deliver a great site for my visitors. The plug basically allows users to grab an image from their posts and display it in the Loop.
It’s perfect for home pages, archives etc. where you link to include a visual idea of what the posts about.
This is a simple plugin which allows users to return an image from the related post.
Please feel free to download this plugin.
To install the plugin, please upload the folder to your plugins folder and active the plugin.
