Visitor Movies for WordPress
Did you ever want to know what exactly your visitors are doing on your site? Watch them!
A client of mine wanted a plugin to log what users type into forms. I kind of didn’t see the point at first. But a few days later I was a little annoyed that there was apparently no free alternative to websites like clixpy, clicktale and similar services. (more…)
Convert WordPress pages to posts
Get WordPress comments outside of WordPress
Sometimes you want to access WordPress content outside of WordPress. There are various pages that explain how to this and it’s really easy to do as well. What I tried to do was a little different though, I wanted to print comments outside of WordPress.

Edit: This is a very old (2003) page of mine that needs a new location, and I think this blog is the best place.
I bought my camera at the end of april 2003 and after a few minutes of toying around i wanted to connect it to my favorite OS. I have been told that some of the stuff on this page will work with a powershot A70 or A75 too. (more…)

Joey: Hey Nic, How to clear the background of your plugin?
