Big yay to Brandice for sending me my first piece of fanmail! Receiving positive feedback is nice; almost as nice as getting a paycheck.

Since I’m so proud of my WordPress plugin, I figured I’d go ahead and spread the word about it in the hopes of everybody in the world (that has a WordPress blog and a Vox blog) would use my plugin. I’ve posted stories to Digg, Reddit, Netscape (not that anybody reads that crap anyway), Shoutwire [...]

I did it, I created my first WordPress plugin! I am one happy mofo! It was very easy relative to how difficult I thought it was going to be. I only started writing my plugin two days ago! My plugin is much like the LiveJournal crossposter I use in that the output is the same. [...]

If you’re looking for a WordPress-Vox Crossposter, there isn’t one that I can find anyway.  I am currently working on creating one.  There is a WordPress-LiveJournal crossposting plugin available here (plain-text view of source here).  It was written by Evan Broder.  It works great and is an awesome plugin.  I’m modelling my cross-poster after the [...]
