I’ve released version 1.1.1 of Tweet This, and upgraded everyone here. Now, the post title appears in the Twitter post box when you click any of the links around Thripp.com and DaytonaState.org.

Also, you can configure or disable Tweet This on your blog by going to Settings > Tweet This. You get the same config page that you would on your own WordPress installation, which looks like this:

This version caches URLs, so your Thripp.com blog will load faster now. You can change the URL service (several are available, including TinyURL) for your blog, restrict links …

I’ve created a WordPress plugin called Tweet This, which lets your readers share any of your posts on Twitter by clicking an icon that looks like a bird. It’s active on all Thripp.com and DaytonaState.org blogs! Try it out with the buttons here.

I have two announcements today.

First, I’ve moved the forum to it’s own account. It was at thripp.com/forum, but now it’s at f.thripp.com/f. I think that’s better in the long range for thripp.com.

Take a look at the bottom of any thripp.com post, and you’re going to see something different:

I’ve created an elegant URL shortening service called x.thripp.com, and for every post on thripp.com, a URL is automatically generated.

I’m working on moving my photography website at richardxthripp.thripp.com over to the thripp.com network, so I have to make a few changes to accomodate the features I use over there. Plugins have been moved to a sub-menu, Manage > PLUGINS, since I’m using Plugin Commander’s permissions system and that’s what it does.

So for now, you can’t use the time zone tool that appeared under the old top-level Plugins menu, which I blogged here. You can still change it by clicking “Settings.” I also put the drop-down CSS menus in the admin section under user control, which you …
