Firefox hits 2 billion plugin downloads

kihbord — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 04:18:08 +0000

Firefox is my favorite web browser. I’d love if the guys at Mozilla would start optimizing it for speed so it will load and run faster like Chrome or Safari. Although, admittedly slower to load than the other two web browsers, I still love Firefox because of the rich plugin apps available on the Firefox [...]

WordPress gets better with 3.0

kihbord — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 15:44:23 +0000

The newest and greatest of WordPress is now out at version 3.0. This is probably one of the most awaited version of WordPress. So, what’s so spectacular about WordPress 3.0? For the ordinary user existing, at a glance, you’d only probably notice the addition of menu management as a new feature. But under the hood, [...]

kihbord — Wed, 26 May 2010 23:51:59 +0000

I’ve created a fix for the linkcat issue on submission forms using the Contact Form 7 plugin. The validation error should now be fixed. If anyone using the web directory plugin is still having problems, please post a comment on the plugin’s project page and I’ll see what I can do. I’ve also updated my link [...]

Community Site using WordPress

kihbord — Mon, 24 May 2010 07:02:22 +0000

WordPress is such a powerful and flexible blogging software that most of the time I think of it as a Content Management platform rather than a blogging software. I have this idea of creating a set of plugins that would allow people to put up a local community site for even the smallest town in the [...]

Using Contact Form 7 with the Web Directory Plugin

kihbord — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 01:10:33 +0000

I’ve recently pushed an update to the Web Directory plugin for WordPress that enables people to use the Contact Forms 7 plugin to support link submissions. Several people have been asking me to write a tutorial on how I did it on my Connected Phone web site. This should help some of you to create [...]

Link Directory 2.6.4 for WordPress now available

kihbord — Sun, 14 Feb 2010 22:52:13 +0000

I’ve now uploaded an update to the WordPress web directory plugin. The current version 2.6.4 fixes an issue for users trying to install the link directory plugin in a WordPress blog that has been installed in a sub directory. This new version should now work with the situation. I’ve tested it and it now works for [...]

WordPress Web Directory plugin updated to 2.6.3

kihbord — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:40:47 +0000

Starting off 2010 with an update to the WordPress Web Directory plugin. In this update, I’ve basically added a couple of features that I needed and have been requested by some people. The first feature I’ve added is some support for incorporating a URL submission form. Being a fan of the Contact Form 7 plugin by [...]

Stop Using IE6, better yet get Firefox

kihbord — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 02:18:01 +0000

I’ve read about Digg’s plan to stop supporting the Internet Explorer version 6 web browser via TechCrunch. I just totally agree with the plan. I mean IE6 is just too antiquated. What’s an even more valid reason to dump it is that it’s such a security risk to continue using it. I think that any experienced [...]

Get WordPress badges

kihbord — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 23:57:15 +0000

I thought I’d share some WordPress badges that I’ve created using Inkscape (a great freely available SVG graphics editor). I’ve made four badge designs — “Proudly WordPress”, “Powered by WordPress”, “WordPress Bragging Blogging Rights” (I think this one is cool), and “Get a Free Blog from WordPress”. Checkout the 125×125 and 250×250 pixel badges. Here’s the [...]

Link Directory plugin submit URL feature

kihbord — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 23:41:56 +0000

I’ve been working on a new version for the Link Directory WordPress plugin I’ve created. Just to update you of what’s coming. I’ve made some changes to the Web Directory plugin core to allow me to easily add more features in the coming versions. I’ll soon be releasing a beta version for those of you [...]
