Winging It

This time the plugin is called CollapseIt and is what is responsible for collapsing the Archive and Category lists in the menu (if you’re looking at the Default theme on the site, anyway).

Again, like Quick Post, not really something many of you will care about unless you run a WordPress blog. Althought, the CollapseIt plugin has some useful features even for people who don’t use WordPress but want to see a way to safely “hide” a content item (like those lists) and yet still have them show up for people who do not have JavaScript turned on.

Quick Post

Huh, will you look at that, a title that both describes the length of the post and the subject of the post!

Basically I’ve written a plugin for WordPress that lets blog administrators add a “quick post” form anywhere on their blog that they’d like. I use it on a site I run to give the authors a place that they can use to post quickly. It’s even hidden until and unless they want to use it!

I’ve just released Dashboard Options version 1.3. The new version includes features to use the Custom Message area as PHP code instead of as text and the ability to display your own RSS feeds in the Dashboard.

Check it out if you’re a WordPress administrator and tired of the Dashboard taking forever to load or displaying content that you don’t really care about.

I’ve updated the plugin to version 1.1. It handles another RSS feed that I didn’t notice the first time and adds an option to display a custom message on the Dashboard.

For those of you who use WordPress and have upgraded to version 1.5, I’ve written a plugin to enable and disable the two rss-feed portions of the dashboard.
