Introducing KB New Posts, a plugin inspired by this support thread .

What it does

When somebody visits your blog’s main page, the plugin sets a cookie recording the time of their visit. If they come back a few days later, and you’ve written a new post (or many new posts) since their last visit, the plugin adds a CSS class to the new posts so that you can highlight them, or add a background image, or change the font size, or whatever you want to do to new posts. (Want to read the rest of this post? Click here.)

If you download KB Easy PicasaWeb v1.2 , you’ll find several new display options. These updates come in response to user feedback.

• Choose whether to link images to their fullsize version at PicasaWeb
• Display photos in one or two columns
• Choose whether to display captions
• Choose whether to link album titles to PicasaWeb

Enjoy.

I updated the WordPress Hooks Database today. Now, it gives options to view deprecated hooks by version. It also keeps track of hook renamings, so that if a hook was renamed, it will tell you that rather than just claiming that the hook was deleted.

I just uploaded v1.11, a quick update to the plugin. It doesn’t include all the feature requests folks have made, but it does make the plugin more robust on servers that have allow_url_fopen turned off. If you got a warning like Warning: file_get_contents(): URL file-access is disabled... the first time you tried this plugin, try v1.11 and see if it goes away. (If not, I’ve updated the FAQ with some tips. Look under the “It doesn’t work” section.)

As of version 1.1 of the plugin (available today), you no longer need PHP 5.
