Slocum Design Studio, and a member of their design team, Jonathan Desrosiers, have developed Evernote Site Memory, which allows users to clip a blog post to Evernote in, by my count, two mouse clicks and without having to navigate away from the post. And it may prompt some readers to clip who, in their excitement [...]
The designer/developer Jeff Sebring has written a plugin which enables the Post Formats feature into any WordPress theme. The Enable WordPress Post Formats Plugin is described on that page, which includes this download link. We’ve tested it with a number of themes and plugins – all smooth sailing. Evernote lets you save all the interesting [...]
Caption Optional MCE TABLE BUTTONS An easy workaround for a callout or text box. MCE table buttons, a plugin by Jacob M. Goldman of C. Murray Consulting, can, of course, be used for tables – we’ll get there in a moment. But a single-cell table is also a fast-and-dirty way to format text for emphasis [...]

Quotes Collection, an outstanding WordPress plugin by Srini G. is easy to configure, has no problem with multiline quotes, html within entries, and, for those who aren’t afraid of a little code – has even more options. (We apologize for not correctly displaying the code – the “code” function (“Writing Code In Your Posts” in [...]
Straightforward, simple instructions for a critical task: How to do a Full WordPress Backup and Restore. Vladimir Prelovac, on his blog, Prelovac.com, does things which seem to fall into two categories. The first is providing concise and clear instructions on important subjects which, despite their importance, don’t inspire people to write oustanding tutorials (or perhaps [...]
Alison Garrett is the author of the new WP plugin ColorBoxes – and the proprietor of Aliso The Geek1. one of the principals in Barrett Creative2 and is the Interactive Architect at Brave New Media. ColorBoxes is exceptionally easy to use; it accepts html tags – but if you don’t know anything about html, or [...]
If you’re running more than one blog, and work in more than one browser tab, it’s easy to get confused. Easy for me, anyway. I switched monitors – found that I was having some trouble reading some portions of the WordPress dashboard, and quickly found Easy Admin Color Schemes, a WP plugin by James Dimick. [...]
Callout generated by plugin.Download “Insert Callout” plugin here. From the plugin’s description: Adding a callout box (like a sidebar within a post) is a cumbersome process if you try to do it by hand. You could code a stylesheet to handle this, but this won’t work for people who use feed readers to read your [...]

David Lambert, as far as I can figure is one serious software and systems designer, recently wrote Callouts: I need a WordPress plugin on his blog Component Oriented. Then he went out and wrote the plugin. It’s called “Insert Callout,” and the preceding link is to its page on the WordPress Plugin Repository. Here’s Lambert [...]

CMS plugins for WordPress at wpthemesplugin.com – some of these are new to me – but not only do they seem well-suited for WordPress-as-CMS use, some seem well-suited for any blog with more than one author. From the post: More Fields. This allows you to add extra fields on the write/edit page, and can be [...]
Srini’s WordPress Laboratory is where the Quotes Collection plugin was developed. It’s easy to use, comes with its own widget – just add content. It’s a randomizing quote rotator – but also lets you put the entire set on one page or in one post. I’m currently using it on a site I’m building for [...]
Kevin Muldoon at Blogging Tips has spotted 3 WP plugins that are new to me; one fills a clear need; another may extend WordPress functionality in entirely new directions. Check out his post, 3 New Interesting WordPress Plugins. Restricted Site Access apparently permits login/password restriction of all or parts of a blog. Assuming there aren’t [...]
Cicero on the virtue of Handstands Insofar as we know, Cicero 1 never expressed an opinion about handstands. We’re using color to signal dummy copy within this post. The original image was 1024 pixels wide. Now, having adjusted the “medium” size for an uploaded image at 250 pixels, we can insert an image, select “medium” size [...]
Came across SureLogos – which provides remarkably good identity work from $29 to $199. There’s a substantial variety within their portfolio, and a lot of work that I liked a lot. There’s a lot to be said – in the long run – for spending more money and time working through logos and identities. But [...]
We’ll be getting to the clker.com plugin in a moment or two. You need to know that clker.com is an outstanding image resource – wide in its breadth and variety, often deep (many resources on a given subject), and high-quality images. So – with the assistance of one of the AIGA international symbols for “wait,” [...]
Vladimir Prelovac – among other accomplishments, is the author of the Insights plugin for WordPress (download link) which creates an extra search box within the editing window. So – if we’re posting a list of something/anything – let’s say plugins – sort of abstract, but we want to signal that this post is in the [...]
