I have updated Search Meter, my WordPress plugin that lets you find out what your blog visitors have been searching for. The new version includes a couple of widgets to make it easy to display recent and popular searches on your blog, as well as a few other changes. Here are the details.

I have made a useful modification to Alex King’s excellent Share This WordPress plugin. Share This adds a nice popup to your posts allowing readers to easily submit the post to any number of social networking and news sites. The original version relies on the large Prototype JavaScript library, which adds to the download size […]
WordPress blog posts with certain words in them can sometimes be blocked or fail mysteriously.

I have updated Evermore, my WordPress plugin for automatically displaying just the beginning of each post. Recent updates have focused on making it work better; this update improves configuration and problem diagnosis. If you are happily using version 2.1, you don’t need to upgrade.
Search Meter 2.1 is a new version of my WordPress blog search statistics plugin. This version fixes the dreaded “duplicate search” problem that a few people have reported. It’s interesting that there were two causes of this problem — the first was already fixed in version 2.0, but the fix for the second variant was […]
I have updated Evermore, my WordPress plugin for automatically displaying post previews on your homepage. Version 2.1 is better at detecting paragraph boundaries, so it should work even on posts generated by tools like “RSS to Blog” and Postie. Generally, it works more reliably on unusually formatted posts. The Options page is also (slightly) nicer.
