Mashable had featured 3 of my plugins namely WP-Polls, WP-PostRatings and WP-UserOnline in one of the post named 30+ AJAX-Powered WordPress Plugins.

Thank you Mashable!

Mark from Weblog Tools Collection also put in very nice words about me in his post.

Thank you Mark!

WP-Polls & WP-DBManager Bumped to v2.60

I have release an update for both WP-Polls & WP-DBManager. There are no major changes just some bug fixes especially to get it working with WordPress 3.0 Multi-Site options. I will continue to roll that fix out to other plugins as well when I have more time. The reason I chose WP-Polls and WP-DBManager first because of the number of request to get it working with the MS option.

I have also point the latest working stable version to trunk because I will not be adding any new features but bug fixes along the way and hence I am the trunk will be stable.

WP-ServerInfo 1.60

I have updated WP-ServerInfo to 1.60.

There are 2 changes only:

  1. The major change was adding support for memcached stats if your server has it and your PHP is compiled with it
  2. The other was to tidy up and use readme.txt instead of readme.html so that user can see all the information (including screenshots) within the plugin page itself.

Moving forward, whenever I have time to spare and when I am updating my plugins, I will port the respective plugin’s readme.html to readme.txt to keep it consistent.

Rest assured that my plugins are NOT dead, just not as active as before due to work commitments.

I am always using the latest stable version of WordPress for my website, lesterchan.net, and hence I will make sure that the plugins are compatible with the latest version of WordPress.
