WordPress Read more link Plugin
My first WordPress plugin is ready to downloaded!
“This plugin allows you to use a “[more...]” tag in a post to display a preview of it on the homepage.
The preview will display the text of the post, up to the “[more...]” tag, while the rest will be replaced by a “Read more…” link (which redirects the user to the post detail).
When viewing the post detail, the tag is removed automatically and the original, full post is displayed.
In the plugin settings you can easily configure the text of the “Read more…” link and the number of line breaks (“< br />” tags) displayed before the link.”
SyntaxHighlighter – What is?
In this blog I had need to post pieces of codes, to show them it in the correct way I searched a syntax highlighter WordPress plugin.

Using it I discovered that this plugin is based on SyntaxHighlighter by Alex Gorbatchev, a syntax highlighter developed in JavaScript. It’s currently used by Apache, Aptana, Mozilla, Yahoo, WordPress, Bug Labs, Freshbooks and others.
