This plugin is designed to make it easier for bloggers to offer image link code that other bloggers and websites can place on their own sites to link back. We have found that it’s difficult to create this type of code in posts and pages. The output displays a non-linked image along with linked html code placed in a read-only TextArea. The on clicking the code is selected and ready to be copied and pasted.

An options page is available to set shortcode defaults. A TinyMCE button is added to the visual editor to assist in placing the shortcode in posts and pages. Link URL, Image URL, and a title used for title and alt tags are configurable.

Future plans include adding a widget.

This theme helps travelers or photographers easily create a site to share their journey. By incorporating Colorbox JS image handling, both galleries and single images are easy to navigate via thumbnails and JS pop-ups. The Italic Smile theme also highlights the most recent posts so they may be easily selected while offering widget capabilities for archives, categories, tags and pages as desired.

The code is simple, easy to modify, and open for graphic expansion!

The Italic Smile theme is based on this travel site built by Tim Bowen during a recent trip through China >> http://puertour.com

WP Manage Plugins is an easy way to give you more control over the plugins section of WordPress. This plugin features the following functionality:

* Disable upgrade notices for specific plugins
* Hide the plugins page from all users except yourself
* Hide the WP Manage Plugins settings page from all users except yourself
* Automatically email the site admin when any plugin is added/activated/deactivated

This plugin should help anyone who is administering a WordPress website and needs more control over the powerful plugins section. This plugin is also great for blocking updates on plugins that you have modified.

We’ve created a plugin that attempts to spur conversations.

It has been said that the majority of readers don’t comment on blog posts because they don’t feel like they have anything specific to add to a conversation.

This plugin allows you to prompt your readers to comment by asking them to answer a question specific to that post. A simple box with text that you define when writing your post is added above the comment form. The box can be styled to match your site by adjusting some predefined options.

You can download the plugin at: http://www.think-press.com/downloads/conversation-starter.zip

Both Brandon and Andrew will be in attendance for WordCamp NYC.
