UPDATE: You can create a personalized plugin template by using my WordPress Plugin Template Creator
When I rewrote my WP-DenyHost plugin, I wanted to do it as fast as possible. Instead of reinventing the wheel (again), I googled after a plugin template and found a very good one at Pressography. It had most of what I needed in a plugin template.
@the-border: 1px;
@base-color: #111;
#header {
color: @base-color * 3;
border-left: @the-border;
border-right: @the-border * 2;
}
#footer {
color: (@base-color + #111) * 1.5;
}
ul
{
list-style-type: none;
height: 30px;
li
{
float: left;
padding-right: 15px;
a
{
padding: 5px;
display: block;
color: black;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover
{
background-color: @menu_color - #222;
}
}
}
Curious? 4GuysFromRolla has a nice article about .LESS
btw, if you’re not doing ASP.NET, you can create css from .less by using the command line compiler:
dotless.Compiler.exe -m Styles.less Styles.css
Using jQuery and the form and validate plugins, it is simple to add unobtrusive ajax to your existing form page
1, Modify your existing form page
<input type="hidden" name="isAjax" id="isAjax" value="0" /> to your form. This field will tell the processing script, process_input.php in my example, if the values in the form were submitted using ajax or as an ordinary form submit, defaulting to isAjax = 0 (false).class="required" to the fields that requires input<div id="result"></div> where you want the ajax output<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="process_input.php"> <input type="hidden" name="isAjax" id="isAjax" value="0" /> Name: <input type="text" name="name" class="required" id="name" value="" /> <br /> <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="submit" /> </form> <div id="result"></div>
I have reduced the number of splog attacks on my site
I use the Akismet and WP-DenyHost anti-spam plugins for WordPress. Akismet is a must-have and has, since I installed it, caught 304,056 spams (!!). When Akismet catch a spammer, it logs the spammers IP address. WP-DenyHost, written by me, prevents spammers from getting access to my site a second time by blocking access from this IP address.
I installed WP-DenyHost in the fall 2009 and, as you can see from the graph above, the number of spam has dropped dramatically.

Friday November 27th over 1,4 million Norwegians watched parts of “Bergensbanen” on NRK2. The longest documentary ever? At least the longest we have made, almost 7 1/2 hours, showing every minute of the scenic train ride between Bergen on the Norwegian west coast, crossing the mountains to the capital of Oslo.
