Finally I got round to some important stuff. Namely the the addition of the bitly pro domains so that you can have your own one, and finally (again….anothing thing I should have done before), interactive share buttons for facebook and twitter. Loads more of those interactive buttons to add and much more configuration to do to make it really useful. but for now it has its place and works kinda ok in a corporate kinda way.

We’ve just made our biggest step since releasing version 1.0 of the plugin. We have now got a CDN Subscription available for getting extra icon sets. What this means is that your not limited to the default set of icons, you can now sign up for a year subscription to the CDN and have access to 11 extra icons sets. We will be adding more as time moves on, but for now we have focused on Halloween and the icons that you might want for that. The beauty of it being on the CDN is that it will always be ultra-fast delivery to you readers, and will also increase the overall speed of your website.

As well as the extra icons sets we now have a bunch of extra social networks added, such as Ning, GetGlue, Identica, Linkagogo, Bebo, Fark, Faves, dzone, netvibes, technet, squiddo and wordpress. These were all from user requests.

Also in this edition is a major change in the way it deals with CSS and the HTML code to make things much faster and much less code in general goes to the browser. All good stuff as we all want to be faster.

As ever do let me know if you have any problems, and I do hope you love the CDN Icons as much as I have enjoyed setting it up. After all it’s what you the users asked for.

Release 1.21.1 is now out, I found a small error with the text replacement on the side tabs, all fixed now.

release 1.21 is all about CSS sprites, it makes things much faster, but at a cost. It means now you can’t use css sprites and you own favourite icons in place of our standard set. This is because CSS sprites come in group that is all the icons in one go. So if you use icon replacement with your own, don’t use it. However if you want to have a faster website, go for it.

Well, making the URL’s have better html encoding, it raised a bug in php version 4 users. Quick release made version 1.20.16 to fix it all. thanks to Bill for his quick responses.

More of a bug fix release than anything else. I’ve focused on improving the javascript bookmark capibilities. Now if the system (such as chrome) does not allow automatic bookmarking, the system will display the correct key code for Mac and PC to make the bookmark happen. Apart from that it’s fully working on IE and Firefox.

I’ve changed the blog rss feed method to use the get_bloginfo(‘rss_url’); rather than my own code. This is much better as it give the users of the plugin the possibilty to reset this to be an alternative source such as feedburner.

Also added is a feedburner book mark icon for you to use if you wish.

lastly I have changed the way it processes the document Title’s so that it handles HTML special characters in URL’s properly.

So mainly bug fixes and not much additions. Do let me know if you have problems

just released version 1.20.13 and it’s got slideshare for following, and I also took another look at the RSS link text.

Next time I promise to add increased Feedburner support.

Let me know if you have any problems.

PS. If you are still getting problems with the RSS on the follow widget, all you need to do is re-save your widget and all will be back to normal.

Support for WP E-Commerce has now been setup. To make it work nicely, just exclude your Products page i.e. /products-page from having the standard settings for pages and sharing, and then in the new box for Plugin Support, select when on WP E-Commerce you want it to be. All very simple.

This is only for the standard release at the moment with the idea that I will work on a set for the Gold Cart later on when I have the time.

Hope it all works for ya
All the best
