Browsing Posts in WordPress Plugin

this may or may not work. I’m attempting to embed a wavelet into this post. I found a plugin named “wavr” that will allow me to do that. Edit: here is how you figure out the wave id [wave id="googlewave.com!w+5Nz5HFI2B" server="https://wave.google.com/wave/" bgcolor="#FFF"]

Holy sheep shit! I just fixed a known (to me) bug in the vox-crossposter WP plugin I wrote a LONG time ago. All I changed was the character encoding from $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1′.”\r\n”; to $email_headers .= ‘Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8′.”\r\n”; If you look at the second “known bugs” list at http://www.acedanger.com/vox-crossposter, you will see [...]

I’ve been trying to make use of the Shared Items in Google Reader and show them on my blog. I’ve tried a couple of different RSS widgets without success, until this morning. I found a widget that will display the feed correctly. It is called Google Reader widget and was written by James Wilson. The [...]

My plugin was in a write up about WordPress plugins on the blog Mashable.  Here is a link to the entry: http://mashable.com/2007/08/02/wordpress-readers/.   How cool is that?! I found it by looking through some of the incoming links to my blog.  I clicked on a link from an Asian site and saw a link to Mashable.com.  [...]

First and foremost, I want to thank David Chartier for the write-up he completed for the DownloadSquad regarding my WordPress plugin, the Vox Crossposter. I didn’t think the plugin was that big of a deal until users started to email me, asking me for help installing the plugin. I received a lot of positive feedback [...]

I have been contacted by David Chartier of the blog DownloadSquad.com and was inquiring about writing a post there about the WordPress plugin I created to crosspost WordPress posts to Vox (I dubbed it the Vox Crossposter, pretty ingenious huh??)! That’s pretty damned exciting I think. He also inquired about whether or not I would [...]

So I spent about [insert very large number here] hours working on my plugin yesterday because someone told me that it wasn’t working for them! “That cannot be true” I thought. So I emailed (many, many times) and messaged the blogger attempting to use my plugin and after those many hours, I fixed it! Thanks [...]

I added a sidebar option in WordPress that allows you to choose whether or not you want to crosspost the entry you are creating to Vox or not. Here is a screen shot: Beautiful ain’t it?! For my next trick, I’m going to look into a bug that is putting a funky character (Â) in [...]

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 [...]
