The WordPress Plugin Competition blog and wiki are up and running for business. I encourage everyone with any coding ability to participate in this as it will result in an immense number of new wordpress plugins which, ultimately, can not be a bad thing!
I plan to start work on the plugin I plan to write(my first one ever!) sometime this week, not sure how its going to turn out but I will do my best :) I figure at the very worst someone who knows how to code can take my idea and the code i’ve written so far and fix it up to something usable.

Here is the quote of the day from bash.org …
A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the qualifications we are looking for, but we’re not going to hire you. We will, however, use your resume as the basis for comparison for all other applicants. But, we’re going to hire somebody who is far less qualified and is probably an alcoholic. And if he doesn’t work out, we’ll hire somebody else, but still not you. In fact, we will never hire you. But we will call you from time to time to complain about the person that we hired.
It’s so perfect and true, I just had to post it.

You may have noticed my new theme I put on the page, I absolutely love it, nice and simple yet elegant and very eye pleasing. Easy to read etc… You can get the theme from here. The theme is called equix. There are still a few validation things I am trying to work out(due to features I want to add not the theme, theme validates puuuurfectly). The main problem I am having is with the blogmarks, in order to put a link into a blogmark and have it display properly it has to use single quotation marks wrapped around the href instead of double quotes, for some reason this causes it to not validate saying that “< is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data” and I cant figure out how to fix it, if anyone has any suggestions please let me know :)
*edit* – Fixed the issue with blogmarks not validating, apparently it was trying to add html entities to the title attribute of the link which was causing it to not validate, I simply had to cut the title string down as all the links I add are at the end.

There is now a wordpress plugin competition as a follow up to the wordpress theme competition ran by Alex King.
I have wanted to write a plugin for a currently reading section that query’s amazon.com via thier web services with an ASIN and displays all kinds of information along with a spot for user comments. Perhaps I will actually get around to it now.
