Getting to the top without really trying
Search engine egotism at full! Right at this very moment, a search on 'Kaf' (that would be little old me's nickname) at MSN's Search engine ... (more...)
Linking to the stuff
I was just now at a web site that's only purpose for existence is to advertise and disseminate a single software application (one of thousands---nothing ... (more...)
WP plugin: More Unique
Forgive the misuse of an absolute in the name: More Unique is a simple WordPress plugin with a simple task: to let you customize, individualize, alterize (word?) the text of the 'more' link for each post through the use of custom fields. (more...)
WP plugin: Search Custom Fields
Search Custom Fields is not my prettiest code, but it's a relatively small WordPress 2 plugin doing two things at once. First and foremost it adds missing functionality for searching your post custom field or meta data. It also lets you use a separate template in your theme to display custom field search results. Sound cool? (more...)

That deplorable curtailment of the joy of life

WP plugin: Welcome Visitor!
Hoho, another WordPress 2 plugin: Welcome Visitor! lets you add a welcome message on the sidebar or introductory note to the home page or whatever and wherever the heck you like. You edit the message from within the WordPress administration pages. The plugin sports a healthy selection of customizable options---for a simple message plugin, that is. (more...)
Another for the pulp mill
I assume reading her is easier than listening to her. Doubtfully by much, but when the ... (more...)
WP plugin: My Widget - example WordPress widget
There's a funky new WordPress plugin, WordPress Widgets, driving a fair percentage of the WP community to both ends of the enthusiasm spectrum. But love it or hate it, it's here to stay, and you can pretty much expect to see it end up in the WordPress core in a not to distant future version. With the appetizer out of the way, let me get to the meat of the post: a thread on the WordPress support forums lead me to the decision the example dev material provided is a bit weak, especially for the neophyte plugin writer. So in the interest of avoiding dozens of similar yelps for guidance over the months to come, I tore through the widgets that tag along with WordPress Widgets (the Google and del.icio.us ones) and after an hour had merged, molded and abused them into an example widget (with lots of explanatory comments!). And now I'm passing that work along to anyone who wants it. The widget can be considered useful, to boot. (more...)
Forensic Vagina Specialist
So, there may yet be another job title I will never ever want. And I doubt you'll want it, too. Then again, I easily ... (more...)
