upPrev and Share Rail in action.WordPress Extend currently has 17,387 plugins available which makes choosing the best plugin for your blog difficult to say the least. I was browsing around today and came across two plugins that I particularly like and after installing them I thought I’d promote them while I’m at it since they’re awesome. So without further ado…

 

upPrev

You know how sometimes you find a plugin that does a good job at something without tooting it’s own horn? upPrev is just like that. Basically when a user is on a page or post and is almost finished reading or scrolls down to comment it’ll slyly swoosh in a popup at the bottom of the screen suggesting something else they might like to read. It can also integrate with Yet Another Related Posts Plugin although I’m saving that excitement for when I add it to Crafty Coding. You can try out the plugin by clicking here and scrolling to the bottom of the screen. The official website’s in Polish so not much help there unless you understand it.

Share Rail

This plugin makes it easy for users to like and share your content. It adds a bar to the left of your site showing how many tweets/Facebook likes and Google+ shares each page has. It’s quite easy to install and has an easy to use CSS creator so you can customise appearance. You can see it in action on this page (look left) and also on the official plugin page.

Getting Obsessive Compulsive about DC Universe Online

My character QueenOfDiamonds at level 8.

Well… After a hiatus I decided to hit the play button in Steam for DC Universe Online again. Looks like my previous character has been booted out and is now floating around cyberspace in bits. I created a new character and decided that her weapon instead of brawling would be double handed equipment. I wonder how many people go for ranged weapons, can’t imagine many unless you’re playing Lord of the Rings Online where all the chicks wanna be an elven archer since they get to be sad but beautiful (those elves are up there with shimmering vampires :/). So.. anyhoo.. it’s late-o’clock and I’m heading off to bed cos my shoulder hurts cos I fractured it four weeks ago and I can watch Lauri playing Arkham City woot woot.

Still under construction

Watch out for falling bits of code and error messages cos I’m still updating. In case you didn’t know already all of my plugins and code endeavors are now on my company site Crafty Coding. This site is my personal blog. If you’re looking for support for my plugins check out the brand-spanking-new Support Centre and I’ll do my best to get you up and running again.

Always waiting

I spend about 2 hours a week waiting. More specifically… waiting for Lauri. I don’t know which chauvanist came up with the idea that you always have to wait for women, but of all the people I’ve met at work and socially it’s always the men who fanny about. Will have to google it when I finally get picked up, there must be some studies done.

Hold on to yer hats!

whatever doesn’t kill you, simply makes you… stranger

We’re going in for an overhaul. Just moved the site to a new server. New theme and blabberings are on the way so come back in a couple of days. In the meantime check out my company site Crafty Coding and do come and harass me on Facebook cos it’s the only messages I’ll get on there *blub*.
