This is quite possibly the greatest plugin ever!* You can now get the Made on a Mac Wordpress plugin that will automatically insert a button to your blog that states your blog was made on a Mac. How cool is that?!

The initial release is extremely basic. Just install it and enable it. That’s all. It hooks into Worpress via the wp_meta function and will place the button after that information. Usually that’s in the sidebar where it says Meta. If you don’t have that function in your theme, which isn’t completely out of the ordinary, you can manually add some code in. Just see the install page.

A week or so ago I released a FeedBurner StandardStats plugin for Wordpress over at my BloggerDesign.com blog. It’s purpose was to make it easy to add FeedBurners new (and free) stats program into a Wordpress blog.

An interesting side effect was that it also inserts FeedFlare into your posts as well. This makes it extremely easy to install and configure both items without ever having to mess with the template.

If your interested, check out the FB StandardStats plugin and give it a go.

When Wordpress 2.0 launched, I thought the admin area looked quite nice. However, the Tiger Administration plugin takes Wordpress’ admin look and feel to a whole new level.

See for yourself:

This makeover is curtsy of the Tiger Administration plugin from the Ordered List.

The Social Bookmark Creator plugin got a major update, much like the Chicklet Creator did a few weeks ago.

The Wordpress plugin now includes an admin page for managing your social bookmark options and database integration to remember your choices.

Social Bookmark Creator plugin works with almost 50 different social bookmarking services including:

• BlinkBits
• BlinkList
• Blogmarks
• Buddymarks
• CiteUlike
• Connotea
• del.icio.us
• Digg it
• Earthlink
• FeedMarker
• Flog this! (Finance)
• Feedmelinks
• Furl
• Give a Link
• Gravee
• iFeedReaders
• igooi
• Lilisto
• Linkagogo
• Linkroll

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.

If you are using either Wordpress plugin that I’ve created, you might want to update. There is a small error, actually a typo. Oops. The ‘after all’ feature didn’t work. So if you were to want to put something after all the buttons or bookmarks it wouldn’t show. But it’s been updated now.

Chicklet Creator Plugin – Social Bookmark Plugin

Also, if you are using Safari or Firefox, check out the subscribe icon in the upper right.  Like it?  Does it work well?  Feedback welcome.  If you are on IE or anything else, I have no idea if it works or even looks good.

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!

Social Bookmark Links is a plugin that has the same functionality as the Social Bookmark Link Creator. I’m just trying to automate it a little more and make it tie into Wordpress.Now I’m just learning how Wordpress plugins work. This is a new area for me and I’m not guaranteeing anything. It worked for me and it should for you.

I’ve just installed a new plugin to allow you to follow post comments via email.

After commenting on some posts, then never hearing back from the people again, I wonder if the even remember they asked me a question. So I got the Subscribe to Comments plugin.

Now, just enter in your email address, click the subscribe button and you’ll be notified whenever someone adds to a new comment to the post you are subscribed to.

Please note, I just installed it and I’m pretty sure it’s working right. But it hasn’t been fully tested. If you find issues with it, contact me.
