So this is pretty cool… The Wordpress platform was nominated in the Webware awards anno 2009. If you love WordPress as much as I do, you don’t hesitate to go vote for your champ!
Seriously though, I’m proud. The whole team behind WordPress is truly amazing.
It’s an exciting day for all of us in the IntenseDebate community. Today we’re announcing IntenseDebate Plugins, turning IntenseDebate into a real commenting platform. We’re launching with 4 plugins we’ve written on our own to show the capabilities, and to check off some longtime requested features. Of the 4, I’ve been the most involved in the development of the Smileys plugin, which I’ve created all 19 smileys for.
The smileys are inspired by existing Smileys sets such as iChat, MSN, the bulletin forum boards smileys and Adium’s default ones, but are 100% made by me. I chose to create them in a 12×12px format instead of the usual 16×16px or larger, because this means they won’t break the line-heights on most sites as much. Pretty nifty if you ask me.
So go ahead! Show people what you’re capable of and write your own plugin today. Who knows, there’s a possibility you might get featured…
