Github Ribbon Plugin now supports CSS 3 Ribbons

Published Nov 8, 2010 | In Plugin Releases

After releasing my Github Ribbon WordPress Plugin, I found that Jeff Balogh created a pure CSS3 version of the ribbons without using any images.

I took his code and encapsulated it into my Plugin and added an option to choose between the old image type ribbons and the new CSS3 ribbons.

The new CSS3 ribbons are really cool and you can see them in action in my blog. The only caveat is that, they don’t work in IE (but who cares ;))

Download

This is an optional update. If you want to use the cool CSS3 ribbons, then you can download the latest version of the Plugin from the Plugin’s homepage or update it using the Plugin installer.

Google Scribe Plugin now has an option to disable it

Published Sep 20, 2010 | In Plugin Releases

One of the main complaints I heard about my Google Scribe Plugin is that, certain users found it distracting and wanted a way to disable it.

In the first version of the Plugin, you have to manually disable it for every page load. Now, I have added an option in the comment form, so that end users who visit your site can disable it, if they want to.

This preference is stored in the user’s browser as a cookie and so next time when he tries to comment on any other page/post from your blog it will not be enabled till he enables it.

Download

This is an optional update. If you want the ability to disable it, then you can download the latest version of the Plugin from the Plugin’s homepage or update it using the Plugin installer.

Feedback

Please keep the feedback coming and if you want me to add any new features or find a bug, please leave a comment.
