Custom WP login page
This is especially useful for corporate or community websites that make use of WordPress as a content management system: a custom login / registration page for your WordPress-powered site. For websites with multiple authors or subscribers who log in to the dashboard a lot, don’t you think the default login screen below is rather bland? [...]
WordPress plugin for Events
Need to publish events on your WordPress-powered blog? Here’s a great plugin for just that: Events. It’s what I use for my Upcoming Events section on AngDabawenyo.com. See it in action There are, however, a few things that I’d like to see added to this plugin’s features. My wish list: Image uploader and corresponding [...]
Useful plugin for code
Do you blog about geeky stuff like coding how-to’s? Do you publish visible code on your blog posts? Here’s a nifty plugin for that: FV Code Highlighter. See how it works here and here. It displays your code in its own space, and there’s even syntax highlighting! The plugin author’s site doesn’t say so, but [...]
iPhone-compatible blogs
All my blogs are now iPhone/iPod touch-compatible! Thanks to Winston for giving me the heads-up on the existence of these WordPress plugins. There are a few similar plugins out there, but the one that I’ve come to like is WPtouch iPhone Theme. As you can see from the screenshots here, the blog is rendered in [...]

Although I did beta-test it, and had gotten to see a [...]
And I’m back…
I apologize for the many days when my blogs were down. This and most of my other blogs were taken offline due to a hardware foul-up at my previous host’s supposedly ‘industry strength’ data center. What a dismaying, depressing week it was for me. The main reason why I chose Hostican.com for my VPS account [...]
Ratings plugin
Again I’ve removed PostReach ClickComments, a 3rd-party service. That’s because I found an “in-house” WordPress plugin that does the job: WP-PostRatings. I’ve deployed this plugin on Davao Delicious and Mindanao Bloggers. It’s kinda heavy, but manageable.
New plugins 11/2007
Some plugins are headed for the trash bin, as I’ve discovered ones that work better with WP2.3. There’s one that I liked right away: a plugin by the great Alex King, called Articles. It lets you output a list of featured posts anywhere you want to put it. Takes some work, but well worth the [...]
