This will be the first time I ventured into editing a plugin. It is hard to find information on tag support for WordPress 2.3. This post will tell me if I found everything I needed to make this plugin work a little better. The original onlywire autosubmit plugin can be found here.

After using it a few times and then checking my delicious account, I realized the tagging functioning of this plugin didn’t work. Then I opened up the plugin and it didn’t even add tags. It just bookmarked your post without any tags to identify it. So I did some research and think I added the correct lines of code.

First I have to work around the exec-php plugin to post the code here. I fit in it as good as I could.

Wait until I update this post to see if it worked.

UPDATE:

I am not yet sure if this works or not. Onlywire gave me this message:

Error – You have already submitted 6 items today. Due to spammers misusing the system you are not allowed to submit more than 5 per day. Your counter will reset at midnight Pacific Standard Time. If you have a legitmate use for submitting more items per day you can request to have this limit increased, send an email to info@onlywire.com and justify your reason for increasing this limit. Thank you for your understanding.

Even though this is the second bookmark I made today.

My weekend starts tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean less work. I will just be adding more to my normal blogging schedule.

I want to get back over to DoshDosh to read the post about Creating a Prospect List. That blog is so full of information and long posts I should print it out in a book to read. There is just too much there for the minimal attention span I have when reading things on the internet.

I hope to take this WordPress template at least a few steps further with the help of the Tagtension extension for Dreamweaver. This thing is awesome. No looking up WordPress tags to create a template. They are all listed in a handy dandy toolbar in Dreamweaver.

 I am going to try to learn to streamline my blogging by cutting my writing time down and becoming more organized with my research.

I am going to investigate Zanox a little more. I want to see what they have to offer as an affiliate network. They have been around a while in Europe and only recently started accepting affiliates from the USA.

I am going to take a look at few site designs with big, bold backgrounds to see if that is an option for another blog I am working on.

I am considering using Onlywire instead of just Delicious to bookmark sites and maybe even install the Onlywire Autosubmit plugin, but only after researching Onlywire a little more.
