It would be cool to have a WordPress plugin that auto linked words in my blog posts to matching tags on my friends posts on their blogs or suggested links to friends posts from the WordPress edit console. This could be done via FriendFeed API or better yet FriendFeed could host a custom search feature that would query my friends blog posts from links in my posts.. Does anything do this already? mmm… Sandwich… back to work.

I just noticed over on Jerry Ong’s blog that Ping.FM has updated their service to support friendster, Yahoo 360, Delicious. Great to see more social networks added.

I’m still hoping for Skype status updates.

That was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be. I searched for and tried several MyBlogLog plugins for WordPress and none worked. I went back today and found another plugin that was easy enough to set up and is actually working. Check out Abyss Knight’s MyBlogLog WordPress plugin.

1. Download and unzip
2. Place mbl_plugin_v0.5.1.php in plugins
3. Activate and go to Plugins:MyBlogLog Configuration
4. Enter your 16 digit tracking code from http://www.mybloglog.com/buzz/community/yourusernamehere/widgets/ from the Your Code: field
5. Configure your widget from the URL in step 4 above then copy/paste the code into your sidebar.php or create a text widget and save changes.

It’s cool to see who is visiting and to checkout your sites.

Lots of options, well done.

Define all your default Skype Status settings here. Start simply by setting the basics like Skype ID, Full Name and the button Theme you want to show on your blog. Then activate the Skype Status Widget on your Widgets page or use the Skype Status quicktag button Skype Online Status in the WYSIWYG editor (TinyMCE) to place the Skype Online Status button in any post or page. Later on, you can fine-tune everything until it fits just perfectly on you pages.
