WordPress Dashboard Widgets

Does anyone know of a decent OSX dashboard widget for posting to a WordPress blog? I’ve been using WordPressDash on and off for over two years now, and in Leopard some strange things have happened to its appearance. One that supports WP2.3’s tags would be nice.

WordPressDash

Ideas, anyone?

It still works, it just looks a little strange – some of the buttons and forms don’t fit the widget any more, and now that WordPress 2.3 has tagging, it would be nice to have a box for tags underneath.

If I had the programming skills I’d write one myself!

I’ve just added a screenshot – nothing major – WordPressDash just needs some TLC

Hey Tom. Stumbled upon your post here and I currently am building my own widget using WordPress Dash as a base. I’d love to send you my in-development widget and get your thoughts on it. This is my first widget so I’m learning as I go. Feel free to contact me if you want to test out my widget and help make it better.

I am looking for a widget that will just show my comments in moderation… that would save me firing up Safari/Firefox, etc.

Anyone seen that anywhere?

“Flay him with your earbuds!”
This rather sharp parody of Apple hardware, gadget lust, ‘worship’ of Steve Jobs, and Apple fanboy behaviour, is truly brilliant!

There is plenty of software available for Symbian S60 3rd edition phones such as the Nokia N95, and of course, the E71. Since acquiring my E71, I have tried out a lot of software, and after a flurry of installs and uninstalls, I have settled down to a core of programs that I regularly use [...]

Upgrading to WordPress 2.5

You’ll have to excuse the old-skool default WordPress template, as I’m having some issues with the upgrade to WordPress 2.5 (and some disk-quota problems on Dreamhost – my fault though!).
Normal (*cough*) service will resume shortly. Hopefully.
Oh, and when the WordPress upgrade guidelines say “disable all plugins” – they really, really mean it.

I’m toying with the idea of extending my use of Twitter to cross post the titles and URLs of new posts on this blog (and others that I contribute to) as a kind of aggregator as well as micro-blogging platform. I’ll be using Alex King’s Twitter Tools WordPress plugin to to the job.
If all goes [...]

I’m just testing out the Simple Tags Wordpress Plugin as I would like to post content to my blogs remotely (such as from my mobile phone, from Flock, and from my Mac’s Dashboard), but still tag the content.
Simple Tags allows you to add tags in the body of a post, which will be imported when [...]

Warning – this one is a bit of a rant. With pictures.
I’ve just tried to watch a video on the BBC website on a new(ish) MacBook running the latest version of the Mac operating system (Leopard). But of course, I’d forgotten, you need Real Player or Windows Media Player to watch their video:

Grrr. Please use [...]

iMovie ‘08 on a 1.8GHz single processor G5

According to the system requirements for Apple’s newest incarnation of iLife (iLife ‘08), iMovie ‘08 shouldn’t work on my machine (an ‘original’ 2003 1.8GHz SP G5 with 1GB RAM).
The installer runs a system check before it installs iLife (as it did on my G4 laptop) to see if your system meets the minimum requirements (a [...]

WordPress Plugin: Flexible Upload

Posted in WordPress | No comments

I have long been frustrated by the way WordPress handles image uploads. Normally I have to resize an image first, before I upload it, if I want it to span the width of a post. In K2, my current theme, this is 500px. I’ve always wished that I could just upload an image, and have [...]

WordPressDash Success

Well, it seems that WordPressDash worked as planned with WordPress 2.1.2, so hopefully this should see me posting here more frequently, if this widget (which I had used a long time ago, but had forgotten) is hanging about on my (oft-used) dashboard.
Remember that I post archaeology and heritage related information over at Past Thinking in [...]
