I've added a photo (click it for the full thing) to the post with a measuring tape to hopefully help you out. The shelf is exactly 110cm and sits flush with the top of the desk, and the desk itself is 5cm thick. Good luck with your own project :) I'd like to see how it goes!

Is that the case? My visual guesstimate puts it at a little over 1 inch.

I've attached the shelves to the outside of the desk and used an L bracket on each with some chipboard screws to keep it there, and so far it's stable and not going anywhere. I haven't got a spirit level or anything, but if it isn't level it would be pretty darn close! From memory the height from floor to the bottom of the desk is 105cm, and the shelves are 110cm.

Based on the photos, the desk surface seems even with the surface of the bookcase's top shelf. However, I can't determine how long the legs need to be in order to do this, based solely on the information on the IKEA site. Were the 110cm shelves a perfect fit to make the desk level and even with the top shelf, or what? I’ve decided to build a desk like yours, and I’ve got a question.

So make sure you change them to something else, like { curly braces } and that should fix the problem.

It works great! Or shall I say best! I've searching for this simple plugin all over the Net and finally found yours. I tried to change the split character from "," to "|" but it says there will be error and advice to use "," and it didn't update this change. Could you add this feature because most spin applications I know use the standard spin tags which are: { | } For your info I'm using WP 3.2. regards bilmer Thanks for the plugin. It works great!

I tried to change the split character from “,” to “|” but it says there will be error and advice to use “,” and it didn’t update this change.

Plus, then the plugin directly impacts on the content of your posts which I don't want to ever do (it just asks for trouble if there's ever a bug that kills a thousand site's content when they do an upgrade). The solution to that is to save the pre-spun data somewhere, which adds a whole new can of worms to the mix as it can potentially then increase the size of your blog's database exponentially. I've got a theory about generating some kind of algorithm to essentually negate the randomiser, but it's honestly a low priority because it's a lot of work that's more or less outside the scope of the project. Hmm, maybe I'll write a spin-off...
