After a lot time away from development due to an illness, I have started back on updates, improvements, and bug fixes for my plugins. The first was a bug fix in the Login Configurator plugin fixing a problem where the “Teaser” option did not work on a static page. If you have any comments or suggestions for that plugin, please let me know.
The other recent updates was in the Better RSS Widget plugin. I have added a short code to this plugin to allow you to embed RSS feeds into posts and pages. I have included a couple samples of embedded RSS (you may need to view the full article) and you can find more information and usage instructions on the RSS Shortcode page. Future additions to this plugin will include conditionals so that you can place widgets only on specific pages, and perhaps a feed aggregator function to bring multiple feeds into one widget.

Firefox 3.6 recently came out with persona support, allowing users to skin their browsers with favorite designs and brands. WordPress users everywhere seem to love the W symbol (at WordCamps it shows up on everything from [...] […]Jane Wells
- BuddyPress for One (and All!) February 26th, 2010Back in April of last year, Matt posted here on the dev blog about the release of BuddyPress 1.0, a plugin that adds a social networking layer to an installation of WordPress MU. Many people were excited about the idea, but were unable to experiment with BuddyPress because they ran single installations of WordPress rather [...] […]Jane Wells
- Menus, the Merge, and a Patch Sprint! February 23rd, 2010A Report from the 3.0 Development Cycle Menus There’s been a flurry of blog posts about the integration of the WooThemes Custom Navigation into WordPress core, so I thought it was time we posted the official word. For 3.0, the main user-facing feature we wanted to include was a better site menu management system. Currently, dealing with [...] […]Jane Wells
- WordPress On The Go February 17th, 2010I like to moderate comments when I’m waiting for something: a checkout clerk to help me, the dentist to call me back to the office, a soy chai to be made. I don’t lug my laptop everywhere I go,* so I love it that we have mobile apps that make this possible. I don’t know [...] […]Jane Wells
- WordPress 2.9.2 February 15th, 2010Thomas Mackenzie alerted us to a problem where logged in users can peek at trashed posts belonging to other authors. If you have untrusted users signed up on your blog and sensitive posts in the trash, you should upgrade to 2.9.2. As always, you can visit the Tools->Upgrade menu to upgrade. […]Ryan Boren
