I’ve added a few new entries to the AWSOM Plugin Troubleshooting page to help explain a few issues that have been recently reported for some of the plugins. In particular there is a possible issue in regard to images hosted on external servers (like Flickr or Photobucket) and server security settings that can cause a page loading issue with Pixgallery.

Hi everyone, I wanted to mention that I will be “teaching” a Wordpress setup and install class at this year’s Katsucon convention. My panel is on Saturday February the 16th at 10pm. So this is the opportunity for anyone who has questions on Wordpress, AWSOM plugins, or any other web development related stuff to come and get answers from me in person. I’d also like to point out that I’m helping sponsor a huge contest at Katsucon involving over 10 webcomics giving away one giant bundle of stuff to one lucky Katsucon attendee. The “Epic Webcomic Win” Contest page is over at my webcomic site Onezumi.com.

So now you have 2 huge reasons to go to Katsucon this year :)

The new AWSOM Pixgallery version 4.4.5 plugin for Wordpress has been released and is available for download from the AWSOM.org website. This version fixes a few small bugs and adds in 2 new features. The first new feature is the ability to place Navigation arrows below images as well as above them. The other new feature is the ability to place custom CSS entries for your gallery through the admin interface. So you may now more easily customize the look of your gallery without editing your CSS files.

I just wanted everyone to know that a new minor update release for AWSOM Pixgallery will be coming out this week. I’m adding a few small features and some bug fixes to it and will release it after testing. This is NOT version 4.5.0, but will be 4.4.5, so it’s really more of a maintenance release with some small upgrades.

With the release of my most recent updates to the AWSOM Archive and AWSOM News Announcement plugins I decided it might be nice to discuss exactly how I place the output of these plugins on the index page. This is a bit more on the advanced side, so the tutorial is now in a new section on the tutorials page for advanced topics. It turns out that there are quite a few pitfalls to my technique, so maybe other plugin developers might benefit from knowing what I’ve done and can avoid the issues I encountered.
