Episode 7: digg.com, wp.com VIP hosting, what plug-ins do you use?
Episode 7 includes:
- Being dugg forced us over our bandwidth quota and shut us down temporarily. Many thanks to A Small Orange for quickly bumping up our quota.
- We get added to the WordPress Dashboard.
- Don’t be surprised if WordPress 2.0.5 is released soon.
- Robert Scoble, Om Malik and other mega-bloggers may take advantage of wordpress.com’s VIP hosting services.
- Round 5 of the 9rules Network’s membership audition is scheduled for Wednesday, October 25th.
- You have to question the validity of the PEW Internet Survey (PDF) when they don’t even mention WordPress.
- The Digg.fx plug-in allows you to proudly display your digs, your friends’ digs as well as all the latest digs on your blog.
- Whisper is a WordPress plug-in that allows your blog’s registered users to leave “whisper”-type comments to the administrator or other registered users.
- If you’re saddled with a really bad host that doesn’t allow you to use PHP’s mail functions, you could either use the SMTP Email plug-in or you could always move to a better host.
- Spamgarden takes random words from your recent comments that were marked as ’spam’, and uses them as fertilizer to grow your own private Spamtree.
- Flickrss displays the latest comments of your Flickr account in your Sidebar. As a bonus it automatically detects if you’ve got FAlbum installed on your blog and then offers you to link the comments to the gallery in your blog rather than back to Flickr.
- The Democracy survey plug-in has been updated to version 2.0, just as a problem with search engine optimization and the older version was identified.
- iBox is a small JavaScript library that’s useful in adding overlays of images, divisions, and HTML on top of your current page, and MacStansbury.com has written a great tutorial on how to integrate iBox into your WordPress themes.
- Aaron’s Webmaster Workshop has made available some code to make setting up PayPal items much easier.
- A listener’s links to his favorite WordPress plug-ins in general and the best search engine optimization WordPress plug-ins in particular got me to thinking, “What are the most popular WordPress plug-ins?“
- SeanRox asked what software I use to edit this podcast, and I answered Audacity, Adobe Audition and the PodPress plug-in.
- Max Limpag tells us of a tutorial on how to turn any web template into a WordPress theme.
You forgot about new theme: WP Theme: SilentBits SG/Dark Mod
Here is a link and you could add this as a news.

It would appear you did so quite well.
Seriously, I don’t plan to mention themes in the podcast unless they include something that makes them stand out from the bunch, impressive programming for example.
That said, I very much like this theme.
Hi Charles. Another great podcast.
I feel honored to have been mentioned in podcast episode 7. I didn’t even realise it until I heard you mention my name. I did a double take
Thanks again and keep up the great work!

When can we listen to Episode 8?
Heh, sorry about that! I’ve been living out of motel and hotel rooms most weeks and my Mom had heart surgery last week, so I’ve been too busy to get anything done.
Anyway, I recorded episode 8 last night, and it’s already partially edited. I just need to finish editing, then tagging, and then writing the show notes and finally publish. That should be tonight sometime.
Thanks, and best wishes to your mom!
