Kythin's Rants

I invented a word a few weeks ago while being ultra geeky and playing D&D with some friends. I forget exactly what it originally was in reference to, but it applies to almost anything!

I then started a bit of a social media experiment with it, just because I can.

Be prepared for a lot of Google + Ipad + Website Development + Server Admin + Organisation + WordPress tips and tricks as I discover them myself!

Hiya WordSpinner fans,

I’d like to say thank you to the thousands of people who have downloaded and used WordSpinner. As my first ever WordPress Plugin it means a lot to me that so many people find it as valuable as I do. With the release of WordPress 3.0 earlier this week, I thought something special was in order. So, without further adieu, I give you WordSpinner v2.0 – now fully capable of handeling a pretty much infinite number of levels of spinners (providing you use the correct syntax).

Enjoy, and please send me feedback or comment on this article if you have questions.

Happy Spinnin’

Love, Kythin.

EDIT: Thanks to XWipeoutX for the performance improvement tweaks in 2.1, you rock!

That would be useful data! (more…)

Inspired by the wonderfully articulate Chick Norris, I’ve decided to make my own list of things I want to do… eventually.
