I’d like to announce my first WordPress plugin, which hasn’t really been named so call it the Post Switcher plugin for now. This plugin will create a sweet content switcher box on the homepage of your site where users can flip through recent posts by clicking on the thumbnails. It’s built from scratch…well, sort of - I used the amazing jQuery idTabs plugin to make this happen. View the demo or read more about it.

I have decided to list WPCustomization on SitePoint. I feel that I can’t keep up with the workload that I get from this site and I need to spend more time on my studies and other web-related projects It sold for $2750 on SitePoint.com on January 14, 2008.

Seven months after the launch of my first blog at blogofdan.com, I asked Matt Davey, my partner at Neue Creative, to create a new identity for myself. He provided me with the brilliant idea of my silhouette, which, after some shape tweaks, is my new personal logo. I also requested a new blog layout with a clean and simple composition. One cold pizza and a Sunday afternoon later, I have a new blog. The tutorials I wrote on my old blog were moved to the new site along with their comments, and I have a few new ideas for tutorials I’ll be posting in the next few months.

Again, thanks to Matt for the great work.
