The Chicklet Creator Wordpress plugin just got better and much easier to use.

Version 0.5 Includes:

• A configuration pane in Worpress’ admin area.
• New Feed Buttons.
• Lots of new code.
• All local images for fast load times.
• More like a real Wordpress plugin.

Check out the Chicklet Creator Wordpress Plugin v0.5 and let me know what you think.

You can leave feedback below and I’ll workout any issues I can. At this time, there is no drop down option. For that, you’ll need to use the online tool.

The upgraded Chicklet Creator is just around the corner.  Really, in that folder over there.

Now is the time to send in any Feed readers or other blog services that you want included.  This is a big update so you’ll definitely want to get your service, or your favorite service added.

Last night I decided that my Wordpress plugins needed a bit more detailed install and configure instructions.  Sure, I know how to do it but that doesn’t mean anyone else gets it.

Check out the Chicklet Creator Wordpress Plugin instructions and the Social Bookmark Wordpress Plugin instructions.  Let me know if something doesn’t make sense or if I missed anything.

Just trying to make it easier to use.

Now available for download is the Chicklet Creator Wordpress plugin. It’s very similar to the social bookmark links plugin I released a few days ago.

Included in the plugin are the button images and the plugin file.

Install & Configure Instructions [new location]
1) Download the plugin. Version 0.1
2) Open chicklet-creator.php and configure it. Turn on the buttons you want and set up a few optional features.
3) Upload the entire Chicklet-Creator folder into your Wordpress plugins directory.
4) Activate it via the Plugins area in the admin.
5) Put this code where you want the social bookmark links to show up: < ? chicklet_creator() ? > (remove the space before the first ? and after the last ?)
- This code should work anywhere in your blog template.
- If you de-active the plugin, you have to remove this code or you’ll throw errors!

I updated both of my tools this morning.

For the Chicklet Creator, I added Blogger as an option for the ‘do it yourself’ code. I haven’t tested it, but I’m optimistic. I also removed pLog ‘do it yourself’ code as it was giving me issues so it went away for now.

The Social Bookmark Link Creator, on the other hand, got more updates and fixes today. I have added an options area that you can put in HTML code to format your output code. Want the links separated by
< br >’s? No problem. Want everything in a list? No problem. Just wanna put a - between each one? No problem. You format it how you want it. This is one feature that will be added to the Chicklet Creator in the future after I get any bugs worked out.

My Social Bookmark Link Creator is now in testing mode. Just select the links you’d like to add to your blog posts, create the code and copy it into your blogs template. Quick and Easy.

The Social Bookmark Link Creator is a spawn of the Chicklet Creator as they both use the same underlying code to generate the output. This time, I created it for social bookmarking as it’s getting more popular by the day.

Social bookmarking is the idea that you keep all your bookmarks in one online place. Much like Gmail or Yahoo Mail, your information is always accessible no matter where you are.

Updates to the Chicklet Creator include a new Google button & code and a Simpy & Immedi.at chicklet.

The Google button no longer says ‘Reader’ as I updated the code that takes you to a page on Google that asks you if you want to add the feed to your Google Homepage or your Google Reader. Two choices for one item. Nice!

Also, Otis sent me a Simpy button to add. It’s the same as the link code that was already there, just in button mode now too.
