New Updates to WordPress Plugins

This week I took a little bit of time and cleaned up some inconsistencies on my four new plugins, here’s a quick summary:

Easy Technorati Tags for WordPress

I’ve added a new menu and improved instructions for how to include the Technorati tags in your blog posts.

Easy Popular Posts

There’s a new admin menu for the plugin, and I’ve fixed an error in the documentation which incorrectly labeled echo as an option.

Easy Random Posts

There’s a new admin menu for the plugin, and I’ve fixed an error in the documentation which incorrectly labeled echo as an option.

Easy Scheduled Posts

There’s a new admin menu for the plugin, and I’ve fixed an error in the documentation which incorrectly labeled echo as an option. I’ve also added a new option to the function which allows you to control wether to link to the scheduled post or not.

All four plugins are available for free download and are compatible with WordPress 2.0.x -> 2.7.1, if you have any questions please feel free to drop me a line.

I have to thank my friend Chris for that one (not that Chris, the other Chris). Usually I don’t share jokes here on the site but this one cracked me up.  I don’t know if it was because I have kids or what but I almost lost a keyboard when I saw this one.

A quick thanks to Casper for posting a great followup link (15 Common Mistakes that Violate Google Adsense TOS)  to my Make money online with Google AdSense post. For those of you too busy to read it, the TOS for Google states only certain languages are supported. I wonder how many people using the Global Translator plugin even realize their breaking their Google Terms of Service? Also in the same article, Yan told me about WordTracker and Wordpot, two really cool tools for helping you make money online by giving you more details about your keyword choices.

Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) posted a great link to The 2008 Founders’ Letter, while I still think Twitter is pretty lame I do think this is a great reason to be on it. Guys like Matt (who I call the Guru of Google) routinely post tons of amazing content links that help us better understand the inner workings of Google. Speaking of Twitter, Syed posted a pretty cool article this morning called 48 Excellent Examples Of Blog Post Footer Designs that’ll give you a great idea of what to do with that footer.

So that’s it for today, I’m off to do some coding and video work for the day but just a quick note to let you know I’ve updated my WordPress plugins this morning, so Auto CopyrightEasy Technorati Tags for WordPressNo More FramesWordPress.com Stats Smiley Remover and  WordPress PHP Info have all been updated on the WordPress plugins directory. If you have comments or feedback, critiques or compliments on any of my plugins please send them to me, if I don’t hear back from people I can’t work to make them better.

Have a great weekend.

Easy Technorati Tags for WordPress

TechnoratiThere are a few other Technorati Tags generators for WordPress out there but I found most of them overly complicated and fairly difficult to use, often requiring custom fields or complex processes. What this plugin does is takes the native tags from WordPress and generates a list of Technorati tags for your blog.

Usage

To use the Easy Technorati Tags for WordPress plugin, simply download and install onto your WordPress website. You can then add it to your theme by inserting the code <?php echo timu_technorati_tags() ;?> to your blog theme files or to a sidebar widget.

Output

The tag generates a comma separated list of tags complete with Technorati links. I choose to return it as a value rather than write it directly so that if you’d like to make changes or process the results, you can do it easy.

You can download the plugin directly from the WordPress Plugin Directory. Don’t forget to rate the plugin if you’ve enjoyed it.

How You Can Help

I love developing plugins for WordPress and do my best to always keep them free but of course it take a lot of time and effort to build these plugins so if you’d like to say thanks, the best way is to take a few moments and write about the plugin on your own website, include a link to my website from your posts or download and rate the plugin on the official plugin directory.
