The 3 step creation process is quick and easy and will have you creating retro-styled mix tapes to share on all of your public pages.

This is a nice alternative to many of the Flash audio players out there — well worth a look http://www.mixwit.com.

This is a great move forward as it’s now tied directly to an SVN repository meaning that any changes or fixes get updated every 15 minutes and you get the added bonus of single-click upgrades through your Wordpress admin screens.

The plugin has been available for only 8 hours and has so far been downloaded 125 times — so there’s still a demand for the gallery even after Wordpress have added the functionality natively.

My interest in Icon Buffet has grown over the past 2 months and I’ve now become a VIP member to help make the most of the free graphics available. As well as getting involved in the community I’ve started building a number of IB WordPress plugins.

Due to the way the site works there’s a large amount of pressure on the icon creators (the chefs) to keep up with demand and recently new icon sets have been slow to appear. This means that a large number of VIP members a finding themselves with no sets left to collect. This, in turn, is leading to these members downgrading and losing their VIP memberships.

In order to support these members and show that the newbies (myself included) still need them to frequent the IB, I’ve created these 2 doctored VIP badges for them to use as part of their avatars. Download the images above (right-click and save as) or click here to download a PNG.

The simple site was developed over a number of months to reflect the clean, crisp, contemporary feel of the photographers style.

The site features a number of gallery pages showcasing a set of images and uses a JavaScript lightbox based on the script.aculo.us / prototype library.

The North Circle website is now live and can be viewed at http://www.northcircle.co.uk.

Now that I’ve been bitten by the bug (the same one that got me for Pokemon–”you gotta catch ‘em all”) I’ve upgraded my account to VIP. Because of this I wanted to add something a bit more detailed to my site.

This simple plugin let’s you embed a more detailed stats panel on your blog or homepage.

In the absence of an API for the IconBuffet, this plugin is a little bit clums. It will attempt to load your profile page and crawl the content to find your avatar, points total and badges.

The panel comes in 3 sizes, depending on how many badges you have:

- 220w x 100h if you have 12 or fewer badges
- 220w x 180h if you have between 12 and 22 badges
- 220w x 250h if you have more than 22 badges

The panel also links through to IconBuffet using your username as a referrer tag.

Installing the plugin

Installing the plugin is a simple process and begins with downloading the ZIP package.

Once you’ve downloaded the package, extract it and upload the files to your blog. Make sure you add the PHP file directly within your “wp-content/plugins” directory, while the images can be uploaded to anywhere on your site.

Once uploaded, go to your WordPress admin pages and enable the plugin.

Using the plugin

You can embed the panel in your WordPress template using the following, simple line of code:

<? d13ibcard(username, vipstatus, imagespath); ?>

Be sure to add in the correct username, VIP status and path to the included images. For example, if your username is “wallerdm” , with a VIP account, and you uploaded the images to “http://www.yoursite.com/images/ib” then the plugin code would be:

<? d13ibcard(”wallerdm”, “true”, “http://www.yoursite.com/images/ib”); ?>

If you weren’t a VIP then you’d use:

<? d13ibcard(”wallerdm”, “false”, “http://www.yoursite.com/images/ib”); ?>

This will display a snazzy, dynamic panel showing your latest points total, avatar and badges.

Support

If you experience any trouble using the plugin, just leave a comment on this post and I’ll see what I can do.

Using an interactive, animated Flex workspace, Jooce brings you loads of cool features that you’d only get from a Mac OS or Linux operating system.

The handy top bar gives you updates on upload progress as well as status in your instant messaging clients including AIM and MSN.

The interactive desktop lets you add uploaded images as polaroid style photos sat wherever you leave them and the dock style menu at the bottom gives you quick access to common functions.

Create new folders and add new files to your desktop and position them wherever you like.

Upload MP3s to your desktop and the integrated media player will handle the playback of the files. Add video files too, import them from the Jooce desktop or add them from YouTube–let the integrated media player play them for you.

One desktop not enough? Use the snazzy spinning desktops to utilise your second work area.
