Delays, Delays
Sometimes during a coding project you can discover that you are at a point where you may need to backtrack. I’m possibly at that point with the new release of AWSOM Pixgallery. I may have to redo a major part of the work I’ve been doing to go in a different direction with the new features I’m adding. The workflow for the user is not what I was hoping it would be, and as a result I think the process I was using is now incorrect. What I plan on doing though is to bundle up the features that are not a problem and release a new version soon, but scaled back from what I was hoping to have in the next release. Since I’m in the redevelopment phase of things I’m not sure when this will be, but it will certainly be sooner than what would have been the regular release.
Just wanted to keep you guys up on what’s going on.
Very Useful Plugins: Subscribe to Comments
WordPress’s comment system is very basic. After someone comments they really have to either sign up to your comments RSS or come back often to see if anyone has replied to their comment. A very useful plugin that helps make your comments area more useful is the Subscribe to Comments plugin from txfx.net. This simple plugin adds a checkbox to the comment entry area that allows users to subscribe to that page/post’s comment list and receive an email whenever someone adds a new comment to that post. Considering that this is such an easy thing to add in, and usually requires no editing or code changes to work, it’s a no-brainer as a required addon for most WordPress sites.
Webcomics plugin StripShow 1.5 Final released
The “final” version of the StripShow WordPress plugin has been released. This plugin has a boatload of features that would help out any new webcomic site being developed in WordPress (comic nav arrows, RSS feed integration, file uploading, etc.). In many ways it looks like it’s compiling up many other previous plugins into one uberplugin. The developers are talking about strongly supporting this plugin so go check it out and add to the feature wishlist.
WordPress Administration On The Run: Wphone Plugin
Has there ever been a time when you’ve been out someplace and really wanted to write about something to your blog you just saw, but couldn’t because it’s hard to use WordPress from a phone or mobile device? Well, now it’s much easier. Wphone is a new WordPress plugin that adds a new phone oriented admin interface to your WordPress install that makes it easy to do basic administration and posts.
I know I’ve been away from a computer when I discovered spam comments or other things on my site, now it’s no longer a big hassle to get rid of that stuff anytime. And really, who doesn’t use their phone to look at the internet? Now you can update your blog or webcomic anytime you want.
