One of my clients runs a blog network for peace activists in the Middle East, where they discuss important news events and hold forth on issues such as Religious Faith, Tolerance and Cultural Identity.

Today I had the pleasure of getting a new WordPress plugin cleaned up and released. This is a simple fix for users of the WordPress.com Stats plugin. WordPress.com links an external JavaScript to your site to count visitors and page views. Almost all of the Web Analytics do this. However, I found that when the WordPress site had HTTPS turned on for some of its pages, the WordPress.com Stats plugin did not change the link to be HTTPS (even though WordPress.com does support HTTPS). This plugin fixes this issue and helps you to avoid browser alerts warning users that the connection is only ‘partially encrypted’.
I plan on submitting a patch so that the original plugin just handles this out-of-the-box, but until its fixed, this plugin will fill the gap for you.
This plugin may already be obsolete by the time you read this, but I found a couple of functions that weren’t provided by the default WordPress-MU API that you may find useful in your own WordPress-MU development.
