Wordspinner 2.0 for WP 3.0!

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).

Get it here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordspinner/

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!

UPDATE FOR WP 3.1.3: Now with shortcodes! You can now use shortcodes in your template files to spin extra things like Titles, Comments, and anything else you like! Details and syntax are on the settings page when you install / update the plugin.

Until now, that is.

Hi. I’m Kythin, and I’m addicted to data.

...and I don't mean the character from Star Trek TNG.

Google has been put in a lot of hotwater here in Australia recently for collecting data from wifi networks around the country while out and about in their street view cars. When I first read about this my initial reaction was that it would be useful information to overlay on a map - maybe filtered by carrier so you can find the nearest area that you can get a connection to your chosen ISP via wifi instead of using up your phone's data cap. That would be useful data!
