There are a number of different themes available for your blog straight away, some of them will require some attention from me as the site grows to add the ability for users to edit the options for displaying some of [...]

Just finished coding the first working beta of blogger commentluv that runs on js-kit.
Some minor tweaks are still needed but all the funcitonality of the wordpress plugin is emulated with pure javascript.
This version stores the request id under the added link. I’m not sure of a better way of hiding this bit of extra text. [...]

I’ve created a beta blog at http://beta.comluv.com and will be using that to provide updates to the beta testers and to answer questions that they might have.
I will be creating some more blogs for tutorials and other subjects and keep posts on the main blog (here) for site wide news and articles. There are options [...]

A new update to the plugin javascript source opens the luvlink in a new window, it seems tired eyes think “_new” is the same as “_blank”
API has been updated again to show other posts made by a user when the heart get’s the mouse cursor hovered over..

Please leave a comment below (or reply to the newsletter) to apply to be one of the first to use the new Wordpress 2.7 version of CommentLuv.
You must have a self hosted Wordpress 2.7.1 blog and be familiar enough with it to be able to upload a new plugin, activate it and change the settings.

add_action(’admin_menu’, array(&$this, [...]

WPMU was stripping out any html I put into a post so the subscribe form for updates wasn’t showing up. Even using a shortcode wouldn’t work until I removed the filter responsible.
Edited functions.php to add shortcode
add_shortcode(’shortcodename’,'functionnameinfunctions.php’);
function shortcodename($atts,$content=null){
remove_filter(’the_content’,’wp_filter_post_kses’);
$return = ‘

‘;
return $return;
}
Prevents all shortcodes from being executed in the theme, just the ones I want.
