Below is an image example.

Generic Statistics WordPress plugin

Do you have the urge to SPY on your visitors?

The Generic Stats WordPress Plugin is a plugin that allows you to add any statistics tracking code to your WordPress blog without having to edit your WordPress Template’s code.

What does this have to do with spying on your website’s visitors? Well, you could easily sign up for the Performancing Metrics statistics service, and EASILY let you add the statistics tracking code to your blog, without you needing to change ANYTHING ELSE on your site.

This plugin also allows you to specify whether you’d like the code to be place at the top of your page (before the tag) or at the bottom of the page (just after or just before the closing tag).

This option is due to the fact that some statistics packages, like Google Analytics, prefer that you place the statistics tracking scripts at the top of the page, whereas it is actually recommended that you place all external scripts (external to your site) at the bottom.

The reason it’s better to place the code at the bottom is just in case the external site is down, it won’t prevent your site from loading.

Click on the image at the below to see what the plugin looks like on the admin side:

Please Link 2 Me WordPress Plugin

Introducing my next WordPress plugin: Please Link 2 Me

I’ve personally wanted this for quite a while, and I’ve seen it on other blogs before, but when I looked for it, I just couldn’t find it.

So i created it myself… That’s the beauty of WordPress

What does this plugin do?

This plugin adds a little text box below each post on your WordPress blog containing the code required for somebody to just copy and paste it to their blog or website, and create a link back to your article.

This means the reader doesn’t have to know how to get the URL of the article, or even have to know how to make a link out of it.

An example?

Here is a screen shot of this plugin in action (just in case I’ve disabled it on this site for whatever reason, like testing something):

And, here’s a screenshot of the admin page (in WordPress 2.8.5). Click on it to see the full shot…

Where can I get it and what do I do?

You can just go to the plugin repository to download this plugin. Here’s the link: “Please Link 2 Me Download”

Then, just upload the zip file into your “plugins” directory, unzip it, and activate it…

Then all that’s left is to enter the settings in the plugin’s admin page.

Updates?
