Posted In:   Plugins  

Ozh has done it again, this time he has a created a fantastic plugin that uses colourlovers API to let you modify the colors of your WordPress admin. You can even generate a random pallette, modify and rotate colors until your hearts content and then save multiple styles.

Best of all anyone can use it without touching a line of code! Get the full low down and 3 minute video of the plugin in action HERE :)

Plugin Review: WassUp

Posted In:   Plugins  

What is WassUp?

WassUp is a statistics plugin for checking your stats in real time from within the admin panel. I have been following the development of WassUp for a couple of months, and It’s improved leaps and bounds since previous versions. With the latest version 1.4.7 it’s had a major overhaul and a lot of the previous bugs appear to have been resolved.

Why use it?

You could of course use other stats programs such as Awstats, google analytics, haveamint etc. But those options either take a while (up to 24 hours) before reporting results or you have to pay for a license. WassUp is a free plugin and it starts tracking your visitors as soon as you install it. There’s no modifying of code necessary. Literally once you’ve activated the plugin it will start tracking your visitors.

The fact it’s specifically made for WordPress has advantages over other statistic options, such as Widget support for displaying stats easily to your visitors.
