I wonder if there is a widget that only displays to people coming in through Google or Bing search. I could make a list of similar posts based on the search items in the search.
So far my test Wordpress MU site gets nothing but Spam. I can tell if it is spam before the blog gets very far, but the registration is a klugey process. I want to have users fill out all their information and some extra data. I then want to see a list of these with [...]
I installed the new Wordpress version of Buddypress. Early versions required WPMU, but the new one works in straight WP. I also downloaded the Template helper plugin. I got it working on a couple of blogs. I had to tweak the template additions to work with my templates, but otherwise it seemed to work.
There were [...]
I downloaded and ran a few plugins that were supposed to do threat scans and I was not that pleased. I wrote my own plugin that scans for the problems that I found in a blog that I just cleaned up. It works well, but it is not ready for prime time. I’d like to [...]

Just put the files in your my-plugins dir and it is done. It [...]
I made css zen garden as a test blog to see how it does.
Mostly it fails due to fixed size blocks for text that does not have enough room for blog entries. Interesting stuff though. I am pretty sure that www.csszengarden.com will block me for stealing their bandwidth once a few people try this.

I committed the 1.30 version of the Permalink Finder to the repository this morning. This was my first plugin and one of the most useful. I added links to the 404 error pages and referrers so that you can check why a page is not being found. I also added the uninstall routine which will [...]
I wrote this on a whim. I have 40,000 song lyrics in an archive so I can make one of these for almost any band you can think of.
You can download the zip file here: Blue Oyster Cult Random Lyric Plugin. I am not putting this in the wordpress repository – I’ll save that for [...]
