Diggable Wordpress Plugin

March8

Diggable is a plugin for Wordpress that adds Digg This buttons to websites. This will make it easier for your website visitors to submit content while it also allows them to see the Digg count for content that has already been submitted.

Features

General Features

  • Admin Menu with options for button placement and customization
  • No template modification, so you aren’t required to have any programming knowledge
  • Buttons placed at the end of the content post and only visible if you load the page for a particular post
  • There are options to display the buttons on pages and posts and on the front page of the website
  • You can also select between the compact and normal version of the button. Currently the display options are basic but will be expanded soon.

Wordpress 2.0.6 Released

January5

It is a good idea to upgrade, as is usually the case because it includes an important security fix. Download the latest version of here. More information on the release can be found here. Installation / Upgrade help. Buy a wordpress T-shirt!

An important note is that this is the last release before the 2.1 version is out so if your a plugin developer it would be a good idea to make sure your plugin is compatible with 2.1 when it comes out.

Adding Tags to Wordpress

Neato : Ultimate Tag Warrior 3

Ultimate Tag Warrior is a multi-headed hydra of a plugin. It allows you to add tags either through the Write Post page in wordpress in a tag box, on posts using an AJAXy box, and in posts using special syntax from external editors (or internally, if you’d like). From the write post page, you can also get suggestions for tags

I added tags to my site using this wordpress plugin. I like it alot although I haven’t figured out a few things. It is fine for now I think. The plugin comes with a normal plugin that you upload to your plugins folder but also some pages to searching.

After uploading everything and activating the plugin, here are some tips to getting it working on your site. In wp-admin goto Manage > Tags. I have URL setting unchecked because I couldn’t get it working. Meta keywords and embedded tags are turned on to help the search engines and for advertising. Primary Content tags I have set to “After Content” as you can see. I have tagsetsimplelist and prefix is a simple P tag with class “headertext”.  This css class is something that is specific to my wordpress theme.

This plugin adds two tables to the database to keep track of different tags. I think it also adds a field to the content table that is associated with tag ids in the tag table. I like having tags on my wordpress posts much better than categories. Now I just have to figure out a way to make it so I can add tags to my posts via performancing.

Getting Youtube and Wordpress Working

Tired of copy/pasting the code to embed videos from sites like YouTube and Google Video or for self-hosted videos into your posts? Well then this plugin is for you!

I had some trouble embedding the videos from youtube and google videos into my wordpress site because I believe the TinyMCE editor that wordpress uses parses out the object tags making it near impossible. I came across this plugin that works well.

It adds buttons to the TinyMCE editor allowing for the videos to easily be inserted into wordpress posts. The plugin also adds a bbcode tag allowing you to easily type out the URL of the video if you are using a different editor like Performancing to publish content to your website.

Pretty easy huh? Now enjoy a video that I found. :) Wierd Al’s song called White and Nerdy.
