Remember the my post about the Digg Style Wordpress Dashboard several months ago? Well, it turns out that someone went through his plugins folder and downloaded every single file to looking for the Digg Style Admin plugin.
After that incident, a certain blog started distributing the Digg Style Admin plugin and what makes it worse is that the blog/blogger is actually taking credit for the plugin.
Teddy Hwang’s reaction:
Wow, it never ceases to amaze me …

What is Pagerank?

The algorithm may be applied to any collection of entities with reciprocal quotations and references.

Previously in the first two episodes of Pimp My Dashboard, I featured the WP Tiger Admin and Spotmilk admin themes. Just recently, I came across another admin theme for Wordpress.
This new admin theme is called NiceAdmin, created by Douglas Karr of The Marketing Technology Blog.
I got tired of the drab User Interface in WordPress Admin and decided to write this plugin. NiceAdmin was built from the SpotMilk Theme, the Milk theme by …

For those of you who use Firefox, I’m sure you’re familiar with it’s inline spell checking feature. Wordpress has it’s spell check option but I never use it because of Firefox’s automatic inline spell checking. It helps me when I write or proofread my drafts. Makes it easier and faster because it immediately underlines a misspelled word with a red line.
However, some Firefox users are having problems with the inline spell checking function not …

If you liked the WP Tiger Administration admin theme that I featured in Pimp My WP Dashboard Part I, I’m sure you’re gonna love this one!
Sunghwa Park or known on the web as Ceprix, felt the need to create a Wordpress admin panel theme. So he drew inspiration from Mac OS X Tiger’s desktop search tool Spotlight and the Milk theme by Max Rudberg and created SpotMilk.
Since it’s first release, SpotMilk …

In this series, I’ll be featuring Wordpress plugins or admin themes that improve the look and feel of the current Wordpress admin panel.
Pimp as defined by Urban Dictionary means, “to make something new, fashionable, or stylish”.
If you ask me, the current Wordpress admin panel looks plain and boring. I’m not sure if you agree with me but if you do, would you like to “pimp” your WP admin panel? While we wait for …

I use Akismet to fight blog spam. These past few days I’ve been getting a lot of spam comments. Yesterday morning alone, I found 61 spam comments caught by Akismet overnight. So far, of the 869 spam comments that Akismet has caught, there have been only a few that were able to get through.
Even though Akismet has been doing a good job, I wanted to eliminate as much spam comments as I could. Then …

I just recently found out that an upgrade to Wordpress 2.0.1 messes up the WP-ShortStat plugin.
At first, I was wondering why my stats weren’t changing after 1 day, I still had the same stats. Checked my Blogflux Mapstats and saw that there were several new hits. I knew something was wrong with the plugin, but I didn’t know what. I checked my databases using phpMyAdmin, there was nothing wrong with my tables. …

The built-in search capability of blogs using Wordpress only searches posts and but not pages and comments. Isn’t that weird? I think this is a major issue that they should fix or look into. The Search Everthing Wordpress plugin enables the search of your blog’s pages and comments.
