Well I am sure you have heard about the “nofollow” initiative making its rounds, courtesy of google.

First some background. The always industrious Michael Heilemann requested help to write a custom plugin. I thought nothing of it, since I wasn’t really able to follow what Michael hoped to accomplish by this.

This is going to be a pretty long and involved process, since I am having to marry Flash with php and a MySQL DB, but I have already made pretty good headway in my first day. Once completed to my satisfaction I will be releasing it as a "Theme" in much the same way that Michael has released Kubrick.

UPDATE: I had left out one crucial piece of information from the setup directions, so the zip file has been updated. The only change is that I have now stated as a last step that you must open your index.php and find this line: <?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
and replace it with <?php cjd_comment(); ?>
once that is done everything should be peachy.
I just thought I would take a moment to direct your attention to the donate link that now resides in my navigation menu at the top.
I have been watching as some others in the WP community have tried the donation tack, and I have decided that it is not Very Evil (tm) to provide a way for someone to show thier appreciation for your hard work in this way. Now I go into this in depth on the donation page, but let me state here again, that I will always provide help and code when I can, it just looks like that "when I can" is getting less and less frequent. I would also like to write a monthly series on WP, and I really can’t do that unless the donations come in.

Post from me will probably be infrequent for the next week or so as I bear down on various projects that are approaching deadline, hope you all are doing well. Oh and look for version .7 RC 1 of Mass Delete in the next day or so.
Note to self, when writing a hack that deletes comments, do not use your live server to test against, because you might wipe out all your comments.
Also don’t hack on comment deletion when you have been deprived of sleep. I will be restoring some of my comments from a backup, but I imagine that I have lot 150 - 200 comments in this fiasco. Bah.
I have completed around 95% of the work for my latest plugin/hack combo.
This time out I am giving you good people the ability to set the text of your comments link on a per post basis. So if you wrote a post about dreams, the link to leave comments could be like this:
So what are you dreaming? (0)
instead of the normal:
Comments (0)
Now we comes the part where we throw in some cache-action. Brought to you by the Dynamic Duo Mattman and Zeller the Boy Wonder. Now Staticize Reloaded is not the best thing since sliced bread, but it is pretty great regardless.
Now I am not going to get into the "how" the plugin works, I mean who wants that! We are Americans, we just want it to work now! So anywhoo, follow these easy steps to set up a little cache action:
