Did you know that if your using the wordpress WYSIWYG editor you can enhance its functionality by hitting a few keys?
To enable additional formatting options in your WordPress editor simply hit alt-shift-v (Firefox) or alt-v (IE) to toggle extended editor.

With the release of wordpress 2.8 some people are experiencing out of memory php errors along the lines of:
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 228968 bytes)
You may also be seeing pages fail to load fully (for example the wordpress admin dashboard) if php error messages are hidden. I’ve already had one case where we thought certain plugins were to blame but in fact it was just out of memory. A possible fix (which worked in the previously mentioned case) is to add:
@ini_set('memory_limit','64M');
to your wp-config file. Has anyone else encoutered this error?
I have updated the jQuery Curvy Corners plugins (both versions) with jQuery 1.3.2 support and other enhancements. The beta 2 version is looking good and is working in all version of IE, Opera, and Firefox (as far as I can tell).
You can grab the latest files from Google Code here. Enjoy.
It was going to be a paid add-on, but today I had a change of heart and bundled it with the newest version of download monitor. The add-on lets you make a download page using a shortcode; it lists your downloads/categories with full sorting, pagination, and search functionality. Not bad eh? See the documentation topic to see full instructions for usage, or see my download page to see it in action.
And if you use it, please consider making a donation to ensure the continued development of the plugin!
First, I’ve implemented a support forum to Blue Anvil mainly for plugin support and ideas which can be found here. Hopefully this will make supporting my plugins easier. Feel free to add to the discussions (there is also a general web design forum too).
Secondly, I’ve added a demo of the new download page add-on I’m making for Download Monitor. This will be a paid add-on and it would be cool to get any feedback or suggestions from anyone who would like such a feature. My download page is here. Please leave feedback on the forum or in the comments.

Thanks for the mention.
And wait, it gets better! How about a simple little plugin to get to those extra buttons easier?

I find that the WYSIWYG editor really messes with my code so I don’t use it. Is there a way to fix that? If ever I embed a youtube video it messes it up upon edit.

I didn’t know that, but then again I pretty much despise the Visual Rich Editor in WP. First thing I do is turn it off then apply my own custom Quicktags.js with custom styles. For me that’s the ultimate solution.
