Freebie Images WordPress Plugin

Posted by:  /  Tags: , ,

The new Freebie Images WordPress Plugin provides a nice interface for adding  free stock photos and images to your blog.

Features:

  • Image Search
  • Advanced Image Search
  • Drag and Drop images right into your edit window.
  • Easy to install and use.

Licensing:

The images provided by this plugin use the Creative Commons License with a few conditions:

  • Attribution – Each image has a small watermark and a caption with a link.
  • No Derivative Works – You may not alter, transform, or build upon this work.

From our testing, the plugin appears to work as expected, but does seem to conflict with a few other plugins that enhance the edit window in WordPress.

Give it a try, you just might like it!

TWO NEW FEATURES, ONE GREAT PRODUCT

Posted by:  /  Tags:

Updated Quick Blogcast now easier for users and visitors alike.

Most Quick Blogcast owners want to moderate blog comments, approving them before they are made public. But when a trusted visitor leaves frequent comments, it gets tedious approving that commenter again and again.

For those trusted individuals, you can moderate their comment once and then add them to the un-moderated commenter’s list. Any future comments will display immediately. And if that person ever turns on you, it’s easy to take away the privilege.

To add a commenter to the un-moderated commenter’s list, select Comments from the Manage Entries menu. Click the checkbox in front of that person’s comment and select Approve Comment and Add Commenter from the Select action drop-down list. Then click Apply.

But that’s not all…

If you’ve ever wanted to add navigation buttons to other blogs or to your WebSite Tonight® site, it’s easy with the new Navigation Editor.

With paid Quick Blogcast accounts, you can edit your navigation by selecting Navigation from the Design Blog menu. The editor then lets you add new navigation and subnavigation items (subnavigation is only supported if you have Deluxe or Premium Quick Blogcast).
