A List of Plugins Used on the Bava

I have been meaning to use David Benini’s Plugins List plugin (I love plugins about plugins–the meta-plugin!) which simply allows you to include a list of all the plugins you are using on your site. Simple, yet potentially very useful for others, and a way to give a shout out for all the hardworking folks [...]

Self-Service Feed Aggregation with WPMu

This post will detail how to create an aggregator site wherein people can simply add their feeds to a site and have their content automatically re-published. This example is specifically for WordPress and/or WordPress Multi-User. It depends upon three plugins, so download them ahead of time from the links below:

1) Oz Politics’s BDP RSS [...]

Viper’s Video Quicktags Plugin works with WPMu

I stopped using Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin a while back when I started playing in earnest with WPMu. Reason being is that this plugin didn’t really work well with WPMu last year at this time, and Anarchy Media Player was, and still is in many regards, alternative media player of choice for WPMu. [...]

The WP plugin I use the most

I was thinking about this after publishing my last post, and without question I use one WordPress plugin far, far more than any other, namely the Wikipedia Link plugin by Andreas Krennmair. I has been a core plugin in my WordPress blogs for a relatively long time —I’d say about three years, or whenever WP [...]

36 Hours in NYC

I just got back this morning from a 36 hour marathon trip to NYC. This uncharacteristically short trip was instigated by a workshop I got invited to do at Brooklyn College (which was a lot of fun), but the larger reason for this post is, of course, the wonderful, beautiful city of New York. [...]

Simple Tags Plugin for WordPress

If you haven’t tried out the Simple Tags plugin yet, I promise you it will never be too soon. This plugin is extremely powerful, and strikes me more as a full blown application within WP than a simple extension of WordPress. I haven’t even begun to play with all the features it offers, but here [...]

WPMu at a campus near you?

WordPress Multi-User as an educational publishing platform…who knew? You, that’s who!

The Blogs@Baruch publishing platform, powered by the ever venerable WordPress Multi-User, is ready for official promotion, so given my status as fanboy, consider it promoted. Mikhail Gershovich has worked long and hard over the last year and a half on this project, and if [...]

Educational Blog Aggregation that Scales

I just commented over at William & Mary Blogs (wmblogs.net), and I can’t begin to tell you how excited I am that William & Mary is not only playing around with WordPress Multi-User and kicking around the questions surrounding aggregation, but blogging it publicly! That takes it all to the next level. I should [...]

Flickr Photo Gallery

I have been meaning to write about just how easy it was to include the eight Flickr images I used for the In Jim’s Chair post. Tan Tan Noodles’ Flickr Photo Gallery plugin for WordPress (and WPMu) is often associated with the awesome Photo Gallery it can integrate into your WordPress site, see an example [...]

Publishing Google docs to your blog

Yesterday, while showing a professor Google Docs, I discovered a feature I hadn’t seen before: the “publish to blog” option (not unlike the same feature in Flickr and del.icio.us and, from what I now understand, was also available with Writely). I wanted to test it out, so this morning I tried pulling in the [...]
