Uggh—so I made a pretty significant typo in the instructions for Better Stats Insertion 0.1. Essentially, I made it so it would not work if you followed the directions. I said to insert the following tag:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'bsi_include' ) ) { bsi_include(); } ?>

And, basically, bsi_include() is a non-existant function. It should be the following:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'bsi_insert' ) ) { bsi_insert(); } ?>

I apologize for any confusion this may have caused, but if you download the latest version (0.2 at the time of this writing), it will fix the instructions.

Alright, so maybe you’re getting a little sick of this, but I wrote another WordPress plugin. This time, it’s for inserting your stat tracking code. I noticed that just putting the code straight into my footer resulted in 404 and preview pages being tracked, so I quickly whipped together a plugin to solve the problem, and here it is. Check out the plugin page for more info.

In the process of redesigning this site (which will hopefully be up sometime soon), I realized I had no good way to exclude certain categories from being displayed on the front page, feeds, or in archives. So, naturally, I threw together my own plugin to do the duty. Ultimate Category Excluder allows you to quickly and easily exclude categories from your main page, archives, or feeds. For more information, check out the plugin page. This is a beta plugin, so be sure to check back for any new updates.

I noticed, through using Wordpress a bit, that it does not correctly replace double dashes (––) with the correct em-dash (—). I quickly put together a plugin that you can use to do just that, along with single dashes. Go to the plugin page for more information.

UPDATE: After a helpful email from theddy, Nice Dashes is now 0.2–check the plugin page for more information.
