Lipsum Plugin

Posted on April 19, 2010, under Plugins and Tags.

Bret Feddern has created a plugin that converts a tag in a post/page into a string of lorem ipsum text.  The plug communicates with a feed from Lipsum.com, and outputs up to 500 words of lorem ipsum filler text. It makes it easier to fill pages and posts during construction phase of a blog.

Akismet plugin updated

Posted on April 02, 2010, under Plugins and Tags.

I've updated the Akismet plugin to use the BasePlugin and tighten the security. You need to be running the latest Mango's version (1.4.3) to be able to upgrade. Akismet comes built-in with the CFFormProtect plugin, but this plugin is an alternative if you only want to use Akismet.

To upgrade or download, enter this address in your administration Plugins section: http://mangoblog-extensions.googlecode.com/files/akismet_1-2.zip
