My Calendar version 1.9.0 has been released! Download My Calendar Version 1.9.0 Note for upgraders: During the automatic upgrade process, My Calendar makes a copy of your stylesheet and re-installs it in place of the copy in the package.

As an accessibility consultant and passionate standards advocate, I’m generally in the position of appreciating the concerns of the minority. As a WordPress plug-in developer, I have a much harder time with it. In fact, as a WordPress plug-in developer, I find the vocal minority very, very frustrating.

A couple of weeks ago, I launched a WordPress Calendar plugin. Now, there are a *lot* of Calendar plugins available out there, so I’ll freely admit that my primary reason for doing this was to meet my own needs — and given the “profit margin” on writing WordPress plugins, that’s generally the best plan when writing one. Interestingly, the most frequent complaints I’ve heard since launching it were in an area which I had considered to be the least important […]
