Spam Filter For Your Twitter Followers
I’m tired of checking the profile of everyone that follows me on Twitter to decide whether to follow them back. At the same time, I don’t want to follow everyone, or I’ll add spammers, and I do want to know what most of the people that follow me have to say.
I created Follow Ham [...]
WP Calais Auto Tagger Updated (v1.3.1)
WP Calais Auto Tagger has been updated to version 1.3 and works on new versions of WordPress again. This is a complete rewrite of the tagging interface to hopefully make the plugin more resilient — it’s been breaking when WordPress releases new versions too often for my liking. Now it replaces the WordPress tag interface [...]
WP Review Site 3.0
WP Review Site’s gotten a major version number increase to reflect a large number of substantial feature boosts, making it much more flexible and much easier to use without touching any code. Version 3 lets you add Amazon-style star ratings and user reviews to any WordPress site on a per-post, per-page and per-category basis. [...]
w3roi is live
I am writing up the announcement e-mails to send to my lists tonight announcing it: w3roi is open for business.
Even if you’re not looking for a new way to track your online advertising and get more sales out of your advertising spend, if you read my blog, you’re probably involved with online business in [...]
WP Calais Auto Tagger Updated (v1.2)
I just updated the Calais Auto Tagger plugin for WordPress, which generates tag suggestions for your blog posts using the Calais semantic API. It now requests “social tags” (a new addition in their API) as well as the entity types it was picking up before, and should work with WordPress 2.8 once again.
Calais Class and Plugins Updated
I know this post is overdue, sorry about that.
I’ve just updated the Open Calais Tags PHP class, which allows you to automatically tag content with Open Calais’ free semantic analysis API. It now uses the v4 API’s REST URL and no longer adds a semicolon to the end of each tag. It’s also been [...]
Product in a Day: FeedLines
This is my first attempt at building a simple product of my own to sell, rather than a service or subscription. I watch the SitePoint Marketplace on an almost daily basis, and I see so many simple, turnkey sites sold and resold on a consistent basis. While the scripts behind these sites may seem simple [...]
WebsiteGoodies.com on WordPress
I just moved Website Goodies, my oldest site at 12 years, over to WordPress as its CMS, replacing dozens of poorly written, exploitably bad PHP files and even worse databases. Now I can manage everything from one place and, perhaps, even give the site some new content. It’s still popular as far as my sites [...]
Tagging Large Post Archives Automatically
First, I wrote a PHP class for passing content to Open Calais and getting back tags. Then, a WordPress plugin for tagging posts as you write them. Now, taking it one step further again, here’s a plugin for automatic tagging of your post archives.
I tried tagging for a while last year, but wasn’t consistent in [...]
WP Calais Auto Tagger: Automatic Tag Suggestion For Your Posts
I just completed the WP Calais Auto Tagger plugin, the obvious first use of my Open Calais Tags class. It adds a tag suggestion box to your WordPress post writing screen which suggests tags based on your post content using the Open Calais API. The suggestions can be added to the post’s tag list with [...]
