Start your translation Get an account Getting plug-ins localized can be a big challenge. Depending on a single very dedicated person to translate hundreds of out-of-context strings (and to update them when the next version comes available) is far from reasonable. As a result, the translations available for my plug-ins have tended towards the sketchily inaccurate. Not because the translations are bad (although, to be honest, I don’t really know that), but because many, many strings are missing from the […]

WP to Twitter 2.4.0 release — with PRO upgrade!
I finally released version 2.4.0 of WP to Twitter today. The latest major version release was quite a long time ago – 2.3.0 went out in June of 2011, and although it has received 18 (18!) bug fix or minor feature updates since then, the plug-in hasn’t had a good overhaul for a very long time.

I’ve been writing WordPress plug-ins for a while now — I launched my first plug-in a little more than 3 years ago. I’ve been involved in web site accessibility for about seven years. Naturally, when I started writing WordPress plug-ins, making them accessible was part of my goal. But accessible software extensions have two aspects: the interface, and the output: and I don’t have complete control over either. Is it possible to make a plug-in with accessible output, guaranteed, every […]

At the end of October, I took a very needed vacation. Naturally, I couldn’t just go on vacation, so while I was taking a break I developed two new WordPress plug-ins: My Content Management and Content Progress. These are plug-ins designed primarily for developers, really — although a novice user can probably get something out of them, even so. They aren’t terribly complicated; they’re just designed as plug-ins which are used for developing new web sites. About My Content Management […]
