Today I’ve launched a new WordPress plugin – WP Relative Date.

This provides a much needed improvements to WordPress’ ability to display relative dates (e.g. “This post was added 4 days ago.”) A simple change to your theme code and you can benefit from improved levels of reporting (WordPress, for instance, only shows a maximum of months, hence a post that is a number of years old will display as a large number of months instead).

I wrote this as part of the recent site re-vamp and initially included the functionality within my functions.php file. In the end I converted it to a separate plugin, however, and updated it to be of release quality.

More details and download instructions are on the plugin’s dedicated page.

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.
