A nice WordPress plugin for Lessn. I’d also like to se a plugin leveraging the built-in short URL function the_shortlink() that will be introduced in WP3.

I’m excited for the upcoming release of WordPress 3, and have been testing my Most Popular Tags plugin to ensure that it works properly with the new version. Things are going smoothly, and if any bugs appear during testing with the final 3.0 platform, I expect they will be quick fixes. When WP 3 is available to the masses, I’ll update the information on the plugin directory page / bang out a quick patch shortly thereafter.

Adds two new shortcodes (both averages):

• charsperpostavg – the average number of characters per post
• postsperdayavg – the average number of published posts per day

As always, refer to http://maxpagels.com/shortcodes.txt for the full list of available codes.

The introduction of custom post types is welcomed. I’ve been looking to make the site more comparable to Tumblr blogs for a while now.

I’ve designed a new theme, and also made some backend performance enhancements. If the site isn’t working properly in your browser, drop me a line.

A new custom menus system and a new default theme, amongst other things.
