Wordpress
Plugins I think should be part of WordPress core functionality
As many of you know, there are hundreds and hundreds of WordPress plugins available for us users to download. There is almost a plugin for every need and that is why I have asked myself this question a million times. What plugins could be put into the core of WordPress?

Thesis
Thesis Floating Icons – Find out how I did it
So, I had a look at a site and saw some cool buttons floating on the left hand side. I thought it would be nice if I could replicate the same effect on my site. At that stage I currently had a floating Twitter badge and even posted about how how to get it on your site.
Thesis Customization – Display Scheduled Posts
I was checking out how I would manually diplay future scheduled posts on my homepage with the Thesis theme after checking out the WordPress plugin Display Scheduled Posts and came up with the following solution.
Themes

You get access to the members downloads area which is access to all of the themes at a very reasonable price of only $19.95 per year. Yes, you pay once a year and can use as many of the themes available on as many sites as you have.

Anti-Smoking Advertisements

Blogging Tips
How to place Floating Twitter Badge on your site
Some users have been asking how I have a floating Twitter badge/button on my site. This is so basic and should not take you more than 5 minutes to set up and implement.
Create your own website Favicon
Most websites have a favicon that relates to their website or can been seen in the status bar next to the website link. This plays an important role to some extent, that’s my opinion.

Michael Aulia´s last blog ..Ditch Internet Explorer 6 and feed the poor!
@Michael – me to buddy, haven’t been to your site in ages, my bad
Enjoy reading your blog George. Subscribe now.
I really tried to resist as long as possible but this roundup convinced me to add those floating icons to the left. They do not only add value for the visitor but also look really good. Will do it as soon as possible tomorrow.
Stefan´s last blog ..Monthly Roundup – August 2009
@Stefan – you are like so many others, many asked me how I did it as they also wanted it for their site.
So, added to my site now as well. Looks a bit few though with only 3 of them. I will have to rethink it and maybe add “home” and “login” just like you. Can’t think of any more icons you really need.
Stefan´s last blog ..Monthly Roundup – August 2009
@Stefan – you could add any link you desire, it is endless. I added a few for others to use and then the basics and short cuts I mainly use.
If you wanted, you could display other links that just the admin can see.
That is definitely a “serious” round up. I think I read them all this month, very good content. Even though I do not have Thesis (yet) I still enjoy reading those posts the best.
Tycoon Blogger´s last blog ..Top Commentator for August
@Tycoon – I have a few more Thesis tricks/tips coming out this month so make sure you come back and read about them
