Another day, another plugin update.

Simple Draft List has now been given a fresh coat of paint (some much needed code tidying) along with the option to display a post author and display a list via a shortcode.

Now the site re-design is over I can get back to my WordPress plugin development.

As part of the site change I came across a bug in Simple Content Reveal, so it seemed only right that I released that change and made other minor changes that I had in my brand-spanking-new Mantis database

Full details can be found on the plugin page.

I’d forgotten, but I made some resolutions last year with regard to 2010. Normally I don’t do any kind of New Years resolution so the giddiness of the event must have got to me. None-the-less, it’s a good reminder to me of why I don’t.

1. Less personal rants, unless it’s about customer service.

I think I got the first part right, but didn’t balance it out so much with the latter. I only posted 16 times about customer service issues last year – and this included about knitted characters and my mums bed. I’d like to think this will improve, but I have to admit that a company either has to get my admiration to disdain to give me good reason to post, and that’s a rarity.

2. More Android

Yep, I got my Android phone, so posts on the subject went up early, and then sloped off as within months, nay, weeks, better and faster versions were released. Even now I can’t post about Angry Birds as my lowly Hero doesn’t have enough memory to support it.

My planned app development never went anywhere either. But, you never know!¹

3. More WordPress Plugins

Well, I think I kept this one. And rather than a number of plugins aimed at a minority I went for the big guns – WP Readme Parser being my particular favourite.

4. Updating the Online Tools

<titter> Never touched them.

I have lots of ideas for the stylesheet compressor, but the work would be huge for a utility tucked away on my site. I have dabbled with the idea of spinning it off to its own site, but that thought hasn’t gone further than rattling around my head, as yet.

5. Arsing around with this blog’s layout

Yep, did that. A little. It’s been small scale stuff here and there. Certainly my planned changes for this year will be much more expansive.

1. actually I do, my workplace are pushing me to put my head in a book and learn VB.NET from scratch to a professional level this year, so Java may have to wait [↩]
