Spotted on WordPress TV. Lots of examples of how to make your plugin less flexible, less secure, and more prone to misbehaving.

I was recently asked to be a guest on “Rock The Job“, an internet TV Show about using Social Media and other tools to manage your online presence in order to find, land or keep the job you want. In this episode, I stress the importance of doing pre-interview research to ensure you are going to interview for a company you’d actually want to work for, or else you might find yourself working for a criminal.

A friend of mine, and fellow Florida Creative, Lawrence Salberg, created this video screencast showing you how to install your own WordPress blog. He does a good job explaining the difference between WordPress.com and the Self-Hosted software available at WordPress.org, and then gets into the nitty gritty of getting the software up and running quickly. Enjoy!

This morning I checked in the initial version of a new plugin: In The Loop. This one generated from a request I got from a user of another plugin of mine, K2 Hook Up. Since the K2 Hooks don’t extend into ‘The Loop’ the part of the WordPress theme that loops over all the posts to display your blog entries, he still couldn’t fully liberate his theme from all of his modifications.
So in between bites of left-over turkey and pie, I coded up this solution over the long Thanksgiving weekend and released it this morning.
I have just committed a major update to my K2 Hook Up plugin. As soon as I released my plugin—which allows smart people using the K2 theme to insert arbitrary HTML, CSS, or JavaScript code into any of the 7 custom template hooks that K2 provides—I got the same question: When will it support inserting PHP code?
I’m happy to report that its day has come, and that day is today.
