New Plugin Release, Easy iFrame Loader

Tuesday, January 4th, 2011

We were finding that many of our clients wanted to be able to add iFrames to wordpress pages, but were finding that it would only stay there if HTML mode was the only one used. If they entered visual mode on the editor then it would automatically delete the iframe.

So we have created an iFrame loader so that it will stay. Not only that we have created it so that it loads the iFrame using Javascript using the window.onload function. This means that the iFrame will not load at all until the complete page has downloaded. This is better because often an external iFrame will be the cause of a page failing to load quickly.

After tesing on Firefox, Safari, Chrome, IE, Flock and Opera, we released the plugin via wordpress. See the easy iframe loader plugin page for more information

Share and Follow wordpress plugin released

Friday, April 9th, 2010

After being fed up with most of the other share and follow link systems I decided to build my own. The issues as I saw it was

  1. Links often went via javascript to a 3rd party like AddThis
  2. No control over if things are in a new window or in the same one
  3. pagerank give away
  4. javascript needed to use the systems on screen from AddThis and others
  5. limited display setup
  6. Only share links and no follow links
  7. all or nothing approach from the majors, all pages or posts or nothing
  8. No widget control, no theme tags, no shortcode


So those were the bits that were missing, so I created a system that dealt with all of those issues and more.  We now have widgetized sharing and following, shortcode availabity, multi-size icons (16, 24, 32, 48, 60 px), follow tab in either the top/bottom/left/right side of the screen, funky text replacement option for follow bar.

Basically it’s got most things going….. and is currently being re-developed with more functions and features for version 2.

take a good look at the share and follow plugin for wordpress
