Get My Tweets WP Plugin Released

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

getmytweets_logo2I have officially created my first Wordpress plugin and widget, Get My Tweets.

While there are other plugins that do similar things, display your recent tweets on your Wordpress powered blog, this one makes special use of PHP 5 and the XMLReader extension. So in other words if your hosting provider does not meet those requirements, you will not be able to use the plugin.

There are only two options for the plugin, Twitter user name and numer of tweets to retrieve. The user name supplied must be set to have the time line be public in order for the plugin to parse the xml file from Twitter.

Update To New Server

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008

Well, as you can tell, I have placed a few adsense blocks on the site. Have to try monetization at least a bit to offset the cost of the server.

Things seem to have gone pretty smoothly, and I am getting reports that the site load time is pretty decent, so that is a plus. I have most of the plug-ins I use reinstalled and configured, minus one or two of them that I chose to wait a bit on. One of the nice things is, with the new server I have access to more updated software, which allows more functionality for use in the blog and other areas.
