In the 1.5 version of eBay feeds for WordPress, we added a Debug Mode. This was quite a big step for us, as it hopefully allowed us to identify problems that occur with the plugin quicker and easier. It’s probably no surprise to learn that 90% of the problems occur between the plugin and the…
Earlier on this week I spoke at WordPress Leeds about Sublime Text 2, an extensible text editor for Windows, Mac & Linux. I talked about how I have set it up for WordPress Development, as well as some of my most used Snippets and Plugins. The talk appeared to go well to a great crowd – even…
Today I’ve released Inline Tweet Sharer 1.4.5. This plugin update fits a bunch of minor issues, so it isn’t an essential update, but you should update particularly if you are using Inline Tweet Sharer in a developmental environment, as these changes only affect users who use Inline Tweet Sharer with WP Debug mode switched on.…
I’m delighted to announce that I’ll be speaking at WordPress Leeds next week on the 25th November. The talk will focus on Sublime Text 2. In the last few months I’ve been on a mission to improve my workflow and – after playing around with a few things – I’d like to share what I have…

It’s a massive array of content from the early 80’s featuring WWE’s massive tape library (which includes WCW, ECW…
One of the best models I think out there for asking for reviews is to produce an unobtrusive popup after a certain amount of days of using your software. I’ve seen it done before (the best example I find is the one used in the What The File plugin), and can lead to a lot of…
Read my last post? Please do so, as such it’ll give you an idea on how to get more reviews. But, with plugin reviews, whilst you welcome them, occasionally you get a few that you ask why they left them? In my experience as a developer, people are more likely to leave terrible reviews rather…
