Block DiggBar in Wordpress Plugin

Paul — Fri, 10 Apr 2009 06:53:53 +0000

I wrote this plugin in protest to the newly introduced [DiggBar](http://digg.com/tools/diggbar).

Simply install this plugin on your Wordpress blog and people trying to a blog post through the DiggBar will be block and this message will be displayed:

The DiggBar is blocked on this blog. [Read why](http://daringfireball.net/2009/04/how_to_block_the_diggbar).

### Download

Download from the [Wordpress Plugin Directory](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/block-diggbar/).

### Credits

Wordpress Quick Reply Template Plugin

Paul — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 06:13:24 +0000

The quick reply feature introduced in Wordpress 2.7 is great but it lacks the ability to set the default test of a reply.

This plugin allows you to automatically set the text of a comment reply. For example if your reply template is:

%FIRST_NAME%,

and the comment authors name is:

Paul William

Then the default text in a reply would be:

Paul,

It is that simple.

Wordpress GitHub Gist Shortcode Plugin

Paul — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 02:35:16 +0000

This simple Wordpress plugin allows you to embed a [GitHub Gist](http://gist.github.com/) by inserting a shortcode into your post or page instead of entering HTML.

It is very simple to use. After activating the plugin you can embed a Gist, for example Gist 30957, into you page or post by entering the following text:

will be replaced with an embedded Gist:

Simple!

One problem with gists is that a search engine spiders (and users with javascript disabled) will not see your code in a blog entry. This plugin allows you to get around this by including text, such as content of the gist inside the shortcode. The text is wrapped inside these tags:
