In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)Ok that makes sense. I honestly didn’t realise search engines are parsing links mentioned in Javascript but are not a hyperlink.

In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)Did something change in your installation, such as available images in snowfall/images ?
Can you give me an example page?

In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)vkaryl – great 🙂 – looks like you know how to make a very friendly theme
conservatown – this is where things get real complicated
This is a WP2.0 installation now running the same theme as your site.

I just tested in IE6 and FF1.5 and it worked perfectly.
It is also one of those themes that hooks correctly and doesn’t need CHMOD.
I don’t think WP 1.5.2 or WP 2.0 makes any difference with this plugin, so it must be a problem with something else.

In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)Caroline – there appears to be a glitch in the code depending on the theme and browser you use.
Kubrik works fine in both browsers. It has just been pinted out to be that in IE my own site has problems now… not sure if it is something I have done to break the theme/plugin compatibility or something that needs fixing in the plugin.
Then again it is a good way to refer people to Firefox pre-Christmas

In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)Caroline – it might be a browser/cache issue. All I can think of is try going into options and selecting a different graphic file.
Clarke – On a lot of themes it shouldn’t have to write to your theme because they have the footer available.
If the script tried to write to the footer and it was write protected, you would receive a message.If you give me details of the theme you are attempting to use it with, and the wordpress version, I can give it a try on a test blog.
Visual effects like this are hard to make 100% compatible, and based on the current feedback from my programmer, we might not even have a viable alternative for the hack.

In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)More seasonal images are planned, along with a method of switching them and maybe some different animation effects.
It was important to get the plugin out of the door for the immediate season.
Plus long-term, it is much better from a marketing perspective to drip upgrades 😉 than provide an all-singing all dancing solution from day one.

In reply to: Techno TagsTaggerati is also very good, and has some unique features depending on the aim of your WordPress site. I use the word site, because WordPress can be used for more than just blogging.

In reply to: Needing a Tag PluginI like Taggerati, but make sure you read all the comments on the page before you set it up, especially how you can save some problems by defining your tagpage.php correctly.

In reply to: Snowfall – seasonal plugin (WP 1.5.2 – WP 2.0)Not perfect by a long stroke. I don’t like the hack.
It is not going to work with every theme as is. We are working on a version with switchable hooks.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: “Module” Plugin for WordPress?I can see some quite good reasons for it
Sometimes you switch a theme a fair bit until you settle on one you really like, and often people have advertising tiles etc they would like appearing.
There is as much reason for this as say the excellent subscribe_me plugin.
Sure you can do it with includes each time with the theme editor, but it can be a pain remembering everything.
I will have a chat with my programmers about it
