This plugin has been successfully used for several months in one of my blogs. Visitors tend to click on the related posts teasers, increasing page views significantly.
I was initially inspired by LinkWithin widget, which I installed on my blog first. LinkWithin is a Javascript widget that collects all post images, resizes them, stores them on its own servers and displays them when you scroll down to the end of the post. Overall, it is a great widget that can be installed on every platform and supports externally stored images. However, there were several issues I couldn’t fix. Here are the few:
So here is my plugin for Wordpress:
When I see something on web I want to save I add it to my Delicious. As I browse more often using my iPad I needed a way to bookmark on Delicious. The process of adding this bookmarking is similar as described for Instappaper but different javascript.
- Click on + to add current page to Bookmarks. Change the title to “Bookmark on Delicious”. Click Save.
- Select All and copy the following javascript:
- Open Bookmarks list, click on Edit. Select Delicious bookmark. In the link field remove text and paste the code from clipboard.
- Click on Done. And now you will be able to bookmark websites faster on Delicious while browsing in Safari on iPad.
Firefox is my primarily web development browser. For regular Internet browsing I use Google Chrome.
As for today the following Firefox addons I find very useful for my work.
Today my first Wordpress plugin was released at Wordpress - Generate Post Thumbnails.
This plugin helped me to automatically generate post thumbnails for existing posts on my Wordpress blog and I hope it will help somebody else.

Most popular Google searches about Spongebob. These questions are bothering people most about him. Don’t ask me what I was searching, I don’t remember :)
I analyzed this blog with Google webmaster tools and found that it is not SEO friendly. Go ahead and check your blog search results at Google: “site:your_blog_url”. Probably, you will see your blog posts, with the same short description and duplicate titles. Here are some tips to improve your tumblr blog if your theme doesn’t support this.
Me and my husband have recently decided to buy smartphones. We are actually interested in both Nexus One and iPhone. Each of them has its pros and cons. So one thing that we wanted to see as one of the factors is their price and monthly cost. It’s pretty obvious if you buy one phone - Nexus with T-mobile contract will be the best bargain. However, there is no family plan offers on T-mobile today, so the cheapest option is not really obvious. So I investigated different plan options that we have.

I was never satisfied with the size options range of embedded images at picasaweb - 144, 288, 400, 800. I needed something in the middle between 400 and 800. I don’t know, how I didn’t notice it before and why interface doesn’t show it in the embedded options, but there is also 640px image in “s640” folder. So when you embed the image by copying text from Embed image text field you need to replace for ex. s144 with s640. In general, I am pretty happy with Picasa - fast and easy upload with picasa.app. However, their resized images are still pretty bad compared to other services. But as long as I have my low-quality camera this is not a big issue for me. Besides, it leaves original image untouched, so if I need a good quality I upload image with a desired size.
Update: thanks to stansult, he found a lot of other sizes, actually:
0 (original image), 32, 48, 64, 72, 104, 144, 150, 160, 200, 288, 320, 400, 512, 576, 640, 720, 800, 912, 1024, 1152, 1280, 1440, 1600 (this was original size in his experiments)
