Super Cat Lister Word Press Plugin Launches!

Tuesday, August 18th, 2009

I'm pleased to announce the launch of our first Wordpress Plugin, Super Cat Lister.

SuperCatLister greatly extends the abilities of Wordpress as a content management system. It does this by giving site designers the ability to insert links or content from posts in specified categories into other posts. SuperCatLister differs from other category listing solutions because it gives enormous control over the formatting of the included content. Its power is further extended by allowing global defaults, which are set in the plugin's administration screen, to be overridden in specific posts by shortcodes. This allows ease of use combined with enormous flexibility of design. Multiple options can be set for each list. Lists can be inserted anywhere in posts and multiple lists can be inserted into posts.

You can download and install it here.

If you use it or have comments or suggestions, please drop me a line!

Blog Setup: Nice PermaLinks

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

Wordpress defaults to an ugly permalink structure.

For instance, lets say the url of your blog is

http://www.myblog.com

If you write a post with the title ‘Great Movie I Saw’, under the default structure the permalink will be something  like:

http://www.myblog.com/?p=22

Pretty ugly and, even worse, meaningless to search engines.  It would be much better to make it something like:

http://www.myblog.com/great-movie-i-saw

Anyone who sees that url will know what it means immediately, and search engines will be able to index it more easily.

Here’s where you can find detailed information about on nice permalink structure in Wordpress blogs.
