Compact Archives Plugin for WordPress Simplify Archive Display

Compact archive Compact Archives Plugin for Wordpress Simplify Archive Display

I’m not a fan of default way of displaying archive in WordPress through the drop down list, it looks so web 1.0. So Compact Archive plugin for WordPress is all I need. The monthly archive link is clearly displayed on the sidebar without having to click on anything.

The looks is customizable as well, you can show months in numeric form, first letter of the month (the default) or the first 3 letters of the month. To download, install and customize the link, hit source link at the end of the post.

WordPress.com goes mobile with WPTouch plugin

Don’t be surprised if your WordPress.com blog has iPhone apps looks alike when you browsed it from iPhone or Android smartphone. This impressive interface change is the work of  WPTouch plugin, which was rolled out by WordPress few days ago to all WordPress.com blogs.

Not all smartphone capable of displaying such interface within their web browser. For other smart phone, WordPress still provide mobile friendly looks to the WordPress.com blog as well, using WordPress Mobile Edition plugin. Although it still have better readability, but its looks less beauty than what WPTouch can do.

Apart from beauty and better readability (font is big, hiding original theme) its load faster in mobile browser as well.

WordPress hosted blog who wish to have similar looks like their peer in WordPress.com, cab grab the plugin and activate it. Just make sure you aware that,unlike WordPress.com blog,  if your blog viewed on non iPhone or Android smartphone, normal view will be showed instead.

Enjoy the screen shot taken from this blog on iPhone.

Embed Flash file using Kimili Flash Embed plugin

Yesterday, I was on the look out for Flash plugin to display flash movie or file in WordPress. After trying couple of plugins, I’m settled down with Kimili Flash Embed which best suits my needs. You can get it directly from WordPress plugin menu (WordPress 2.7 and above), or download it here.

What I like most about this plugin is, the existence of Flash button on the post page (like below),  to easily add any Flash file to the post.

Just like image and movie icon that work to insert image or movie into the post, the Kimili Flash Embed icon works to find the Flash file that you wish to be displayed on your WordPress post.

The selection menu shown below, allow you to choose the Flash file and modify other setting, which then generate the code right inside the post. The code can be used anywhere you want in your blog such as your theme, sidebar or widget.

Alternatively, you can directly add any Flash using this syntax below, provided that you have already uploaded the Flash file prior that.

This plugin offers a lot of flexibility in order to display the Flash movie as you wish. There are a lot of options to choose from, but don’t worry too much if you think that’s too much.  The default setup is working fine (in this blog). The only thing you need to change is the location of the Flash file.

Read the configuration menu to learn more what each setting means. You might want view also what attributes it has.

The outcome can be viewed on the left sidebar of this blog.
