Subtitler, My First WordPress Plugin: Put Subtitles on your Blog

July 4, 2008

So this is a really hacked together plugin right now. It works, and I don’t think it should mess anything up, but the coding isn’t pretty and it does some weird things depending on which browser you’re using.

June 8, 2008

First of all, because Joomla is made for a bit more complex things than some blog platforms, it required that the person inputting articles [...]

NOTE (UPDATED 9/4/2010): The article below is obsolete. My newest recommendation is that you don’t code these yourself.
