Just finished up the 1.0 release of my WordPress plugin. The biggest new feature is an options panel so you don’t have to mess around with the settings. There are some new features included on that panel, like the ability to empty the cache , you can now change the RSS cache timeout for Magpie and specify tags to go before and after the image.

At some point, I created a development site to test the plugin out on. When I was writing the delete function I didn’t have things quite right and ended up deleting all of the WordPress admin panel files. It’s fixed up now, but if you’re weary, delete things manually.

The internet is an amazing place — you can come up with a stupid idea one night while you’re out and have someone halfway accross the world selling it for you the next. This is the shiny future that I could see when I watched Sandra Bullock order that pizza in The Net I introduce to you yet another t-shirt that no one will buy, Goth T-Shirt (Yellow). The next thing on tap are some bumper stickers, I just need to find someone who can draw a good manatee.

This plugin allows you to display a flickr style badge (for a tag, user, user tag or group pool) on your WordPress site. It uses MagpieRSS to parse the RSS feed and display the images. The plugin can also cache the images locally and display image title tags. The plugin is configurable via an Options panel.
