I keep saying that my blogging is going to start slowing down soon but extremely interesting stories keep popping up. Seriously though, I will be giving it a break soon. I really hope the next couple weeks are extremely un-noteworthy, although I highly doubt that will happen.
Enjoy the links.
I know, it is shocking - I actually posted the weekly links on time. We are heading out for the weekend (again) and I am not going to be graced with an internet connection, so I wanted to make sure to post these links before I headed out. Enjoy your beautiful internet connection by surfing through these links while I lie in the fetal position, sobbing like a baby that I am without my DSL connection. See you all next week.
Enjoy the links.
Kellie asked a while back for personal icons for commenters. Well, thanks to a handy Wordpress Gravatar plugin, it was quickly and easily implemented on the site tonight.
I have also sneaked in a another small feature in the comments area. My hope is a couple other small features will be put in place before May 1. It may not be a monumental redesign, but improvements are going to be slow, steady and continual.
If there are any other features you would like to see, please drop me a line or leave a comment in this post.
UPDATE: Well, due to my lack of access to a PC, I failed to notice any cross-browser bugs in IE (silly me). I will try to alleviate this tonight.
This is the first Wordpress plugin I have ever made, let alone released for download, so please, be gentle. I needed a plugin for my blog to count the total comments for each month to determine each month’s Comment Love donation. I looked high and low for a plugin to do just that, but I was unable to find one. I then decided I might as well make it myself as it really was not much of a feat in the first place.
The plugin is very basic - the function takes in two parameters, the year and the month you want the comments from. If either fields are left blank, it will default to the current month.
If you want the current month’s comment total, all you need to do is call the function without any parameters.
<?php monthCommentCount(); ?>
If you want a specific month, just put in the year and the month in question like below:
<?php monthCommentCount(2006, 3)); ?>
The function prints the total number of comments - nothing more, nothing less. I may be making some additional plugins along this genre, so there could be additional downloads available. Until then, enjoy this particular plugin if it is of any use to you.

Enjoy.
Once this site is out of beta, the entire project will be available for download. Check in periodically for updates.
