Introducing…”Social Me”

I gave another demo of the Social me plugin this evening at the Orange County WordPress meetup. It went over well, so I think it's ready enough to get it in your hands. (don't forget to follow Jeffrey's tips on backing up WordPress before installing it). Hopefully getting it out in the wild a little bit will encourage other developers to get involved.

(PLUGIN) Favicon Generator

We have noticed that a lot of people don’t take the time to set up a favicon for their WordPress sites. There are tools out on the internet that allow you to create your own favicon, from an image that you have, but once you get it, you have to go hack the code in [...]
