After many months of development, and an evening of last minute tweaks, JobRoller has finally arrived
I started developing JobRoller back in March, then teamed up with AppThemes (makers of Classipress) to finish it off.
JobRoller is a premium theme for WordPress 3.0 which lets you turn your WordPress blog into a professional job listing Web site.


The Secure and Accessible Contact Form plugin has now been updated for WordPress 3.0 and also contains many other tweaks to set it apart from its predecessor, such as the ability to remove optional fields (a much requested feature). Read on for more information and the download link.

Are you a user of the WordPress MiniCard theme? Its been downloaded over 14,000 times so far!
If you have used it as-is, made your own child-theme or done something creative with it, please show off your MiniCard’s in the comments, I’d love to see how the theme is being used!
My Spam Stopper plugin has been updated for WordPress 3.0 (version 3.1.3) – you can grab it here. Sorry this update took longer than my other plugins but this one gets less lovin’ – if you want to change that feel free to donate, spread the word, or rate it on the WordPress.org plugin page.
Just a notice to users of the brilliant http://www.sexybookmarks.net/ plugin by shareaholic – If you use tr.im (as I have on a few client sites) be aware tr.im has ceased operation so you may see errors on your blog or in your source code; it screwed up the background and headings on one of my blogs.
To fix, go to sexybookmarks options, switch services in the “Which URL Shortener?” box, and tick the box to reset all short urls. Once done, your blog should return to normal.
I’ve been having reports of slow performance with download monitor .8, so I’ve made 3.3.3.9 ready for testing – I won’t make this ‘official’ for a few days just to make sure no-one finds any bugs. You can get this development version from here.
Here’s the changelog:
- Pre-loading meta and relationships again – less queries, better performance
- Improved download page loading time
- Using built in stripslashes_deep to fix magic_quotes stuff
- Made filesize save to custom fields so we don’t need to look it up every pageload
- Fixed strstr bug on delete
- Added option in config to disable mirror selection
- wp_dlm_ins_button dropdown on post screen is history – use the media button instead. Dropdown was slow and not very usable (when you had shed loads of downloads).
- htmlspecialchars_decode in download.php for people with dodgy file names
Just posting a video review of my MiniCard theme by Mark Adams I found whilst googling today; some of you might find it interesting to watch.
I will add that there are actually ways to add your own links to MiniCard now; this was added in an update. If you want to get MiniCard and give it a whirl you’ll find the post here. Thanks for the review Mark
I have just uploaded 1.1.7 of MiniCard here and to the WordPress theme directory. This updates includes:
- New networks; xing, gowalla, yelp, foursquare, mobileme, google buzz
- A way to change link text and define multiple links of the same network
- A way to define your own custom links + icons
- Improved admin panel
Hope you like it, and don’t forget you can show your support by purchasing the premium pack from here.

WordPress Download Monitor is my popular plugin for managing files available for download in WordPress – version 3.3 is a major update containing many new features and improvements.
