Welcome to Redradar!

I'm Kelly, and I'll be your host today. I'm a recent grad trying to keep busy before going to grad school in fall 2010. I have interests and a resume, if you're looking for a short-term (6-9months) web developer (though long-term is a possibility too). I also have wordpress plugins & other projects; I'm currently working on a twitter/trending topics application for linux; and sometimes I talk about interesting tech topics. I hope you enjoy your stay, and come back often! (alternately you can follow me on twitter, or grab my RSS feed)

Also, post-from-site v1.9.0 is out! I think I caught all the small bugs, but I am just me, so let me know if I missed anything. I’ve been working (slowly) on figuring out what exactly I’m doing here with pfs, and now I’ve got a better roadmap than the vague ‘do stuff’ idea that I had before. So you should be expecting a v2.0 within… a month? Perhaps longer, as I’m back in classes again. Anyway, this update includes tag support, the ability to create categories and tags, functional (& not hacked-together) image uploading, and a bunch of cleanup/bugfixes. And likely things I’m missing here, as I have been working on it on and off for nearly two months. The changelog should have all the information, and I’ll update the main post here to reflect the new changes tomorrow.

As I said, still planning on 2.0 being out by November (it’s nearly October already, wow) with either (or both) image integration with the media library (so your uploads show up in the library – I tried that for this release but couldn’t get it working, which is part of why it took so long), or AJAX-style image uploads & multiple uploads. I don’t know yet how that would affect the rest of the form (I might have to make everything AJAXy, which is shiny but intimidating), so to avoid the 2 months with no update thing, I’m only going to aim for one of these to happen. Other media support is also a possibility, but really WP likes to be difficult in this aspect.

As for my real life, I’m back in classes & am optimistic about them – I’m at UMass now, as a non-degree student. I’m applying for ‘proper’ grad school for fall ‘10, so if anyone has any statement of purpose tips (the hardest part for me), I’d welcome them. I still have a job but no time for it, and I’m involved in various student activities – pretty much the same as last year. I’m also getting over a cold, so I should probably get off the computer & go to sleep at a somewhat reasonable hour.

  1. Hi,

    I’m using Post from Site and have a question. It’s great how it requires people to log in to post something but I have a couple questions:

    1. The log in link (after a person who hasn’t logged tries to post) in IE doesn’t show. I’m using 8.0
    2. Is there a way to redirect the person back to the “post from site” page after they log in? Right now they end up on a blank page.

    Thanks for your help!

    Brett

  2. Thank you very much, I’ve been searching for such a plugin for a long time !

    I’ve just began testing it, but smthing seems not to work :

    When I upload a too large image, no error message appear.. something seems to be coded for that, but no error msg..
    (I’ve test a smaller image and everything is OK | im using wp 2.9.1)

    Thank you again, and sincerely !
