Comment Images For WordPress 1.4

I’ve received some great feedback from users who are using Comment Images For WordPress. Since its release, I’ve received a number of comments, emails, and quick notes about minor issues that users have had when using the plugin.

Yesterday, I officially released Comment Images For WordPress 1.4. You can grab a copy of it here, but here’s a run down of the changes that have happened since I first launched the plugin:

Ending Development on Author Admin

For those of you who are interested, you can download the plugin though I no longer maintain this.

Author Admin Homepage

Roughly four months ago, I released a premium plugin that aimed to improve author administration in WordPress. Today, I’m officially ending development on Author Admin..

Similar to WP Social Icons, I’m more concerned with narrowly focusing my efforts on projects that are more closely aligned with the problems I’d like to attempt to solve.

That said, there are a few things that I did learn while working on and maintaining the project.

Ending Development on WP Social Icons

WP Social Icons

About a year ago, I launched WP Social Icons – a premium plugin based on Tipsy Social Icons that attempted to make it easy to include social icons on any WordPress-powered site.

It offered the ability to sort your icons, upload your own icons, change the size, adjust the orientation, and so on.

WPCandy covered some of my thoughts on developing it, and I had the pleasure of joining Jeffro on the WordPress Weekly Podcast to talk about it.

On top of that, I gained experience on what it was like to release a small, commercial product into the WordPress Marketplace and how it compares to the free version.

Overall, the plugin was a success. But as of today, I’m officially ending development on WP Social Icons.

Tipsy Social Icons Plugin For WordPress

August 2, 2012 /

This version is a major update but if you're interested in skipping most of the information, jump down to what's new in this version.

Tipsy Social Icons In January 2011, Atlanta was hit with a major snow storm that had many of us hanging out inside of our homes for days at a time. To say that I had cabin fever would be an understatement.

During that time, I wrote a really simple social icons plugin for WordPress. Because I used Jason Frame’s excellent jQuery plugin called Tipsy, I aptly named the plugin Tipsy Social Icons.

Since it was first released, I’ve done much more WordPress development and this plugin wasn’t up to par with my usual standards, so I’m updating it and am officially releasing Tipsy Social Icons 3.0.
