Category Sticky Post For WordPress 2.0 Now Available

Just a little over a year ago, I released my WordPress Category Sticky Post plugin. The initial concept was simple:

Category Sticky Post for WordPress is a plugin that allows you to mark a post as sticky within a specific category archive. It works exactly like the typical sticky post functionality within WordPress, except that it’s specifically for category archives.

And not a lot has changed since the first release.

Yes, I’ve made minor improvements here and there as evidenced by the changelog, but today I’m happy to officially release the second version of the plugin.

Beta Testing Self-Hosted WordPress Plugins

In three previous posts, I’ve mentioned that I’ve been slowly refocusing my own business to focus solely on working with WordPress. This particular focus includes:

In order to keep this momentum, albeit it very slow momentum, going, I’m looking to begin experimenting with self-hosting WordPress plugins. Specifically, I’m going to be using Auto Hosted.

Comment Images 1.11.0 – Now Available

Last week, I had an interesting request for my Comment Images For WordPress plugin:

I wanted to make the default DISABLE so I could turn it ON on the ones I need it, instead of having to go through 200 posts and turn it OFF on 190 posts, that’s all. But if that’s not possible I understand.

Truth be told, this is a scenario that I’ve never thought of, but if you’re someone with a blog who has hundreds (or even thousands) of posts, then being able to disable or enable the feature across the board makes sense.
