By jixor | September 4, 2008

Personally I’m not exactly blown away by the browser, its an interesting piece of software but I’ll be sticking with Firefox for some time yet.

    • Plugin Release: Advanced RSS
      October 13, 2008

      Read about it on the Advanced RSS Page.

    • Plugin Release: List Installed Plugins
      October 5, 2008

      This plugin I believe is the first of its kind and I would love for as many blogs as possible to use it! Very simple it lists the active plugins on your blog. The output can be customized and plugins hidden if desired.

      See the List Installed Plugins page for more information and to download.

    • Plugin Update: Static Page eXtended
      October 3, 2008

      Version 2

      I have reworked the plugin, mainly improvements to the code and administrative interface. Inline PHP have been reworked such that it is not backwards compatible. If you follow the rules inline PHP should work quite well. Note that other plugins that work on post content may interfere with inline includes and php. Get the updated plugin at Wordpress Plugins Directory: Static Page eXtended.

      Note that at last check the WP directory hadn’t yet updated to the new version.

      I’m currently using the Aeros theme, with a custom background photo of mine. The theme is very slim and well built, very easy to edit.
