A place where you can leave us a comment, or if the mood takes you, what you had for lunch :]. Tonight we found a great WordPress plugin called <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/wp-wall\/\">WPWall<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p><\/center><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Using the wall is simple enough. If you want to leave a message hit &#8216;leave a reply&#8217;. The plugin uses Ajax technologies to reveal a user input box. Done with your comment? &#8211; hit the submit button and watch your comment be posted in real-time to the wall. We think it&#8217;ll come in handy for both you and us &#8211; Go on! &#8230; leave us a comment.<\/p>\n<p>Next Up &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>WP Cumulus<\/strong><br \/>\nThis plugin is phenomenal (or I think it is). Forget boring drop down menus. Basically this plugin finds all of our tags we attach to our posts through the blog, and places them into a flash-based interactive tag cloud. <\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The animation is set the scroll automatically when you are actively scrolling the front page. As soon as you stop scrolling, so does the plugin. Click a tag and the blog will relay all articles associated with that tag immediately. We&#8217;ll be adding blog categories to this shortly.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly there .. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Latest Keynote<\/strong><br \/>\nWe&#8217;re pretty fanatical about Apple, and so we sometimes like to show it, if not in our content, on our sidebar! &#8211; Each time Apple host an event, we&#8217;ll provide a graphic link to the latest quick time keynote stream found at events.apple.com.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stumble for WordPress<\/strong><br \/>\nYou&#8217;ll now find (as below) a large green &#8216;Liked This Article&#8217; button at the bottom of each post we publish &#8211; <em>but what be the purpose of this wee button?<\/em> &#8211; Click it and you&#8217;ll stumble upon another article in similar context. There&#8217;s more than 2 pages to RazorianFly you know! :] &#8211; This way, you&#8217;ll get round to seeing every post, with ease.<\/p>\n<p>Finally &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gravatars<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you remember, we tried to install this plugin a while back, with quite <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arronhirst.com\/blog\/2008\/comments-now-fixed-briefly\/\">drastic consequences<\/a>, although now we&#8217;ve got it right. If your registered to WordPress, and associate a photo with your account, we&#8217;ve now got it so that your avatar (if you have one) will now show up on the right-hand-side of each comment you publish &#8211; pretty cool eh?<\/p>\n<p><center><\/center><\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t associate a photo with your account, we automatically create your avatar for you, the current default being the RazorianFly logo.<\/p>\n<p>We hope these improvements prove useful to you and your reader experience here at RazorianFly.<br \/>\nThanks again for being devoted readers!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey guys, just a quick one &#8211; We&#8217;d like to point out a few new blog changes we recently implemented which we think are going to enhance the blog for the better.
