Relative Post Time

Now I know that this has already been done for wordpress, but bloody hell was the code over complicated for what needed to be done, so I wrote my own nice simple plugin for any one to use. It only does relative time for posts. There are no fancy options yet, but I would be willing to add any features my fellow bloggers would be interested in. Just leave me a comment.

You can download the elapsed time wordpress plugin here. Unzip the file, upload to your wordpress plugin folder and enable. Then look in your main index template for some code that looks like <?php the_time() ?> and replace with the code below, easy.

Talking of Comments

I had grown bored of seeing the word “said” on every blog I visited.  Bla bla said this… thingy said that. Mr Man said something. So I decided I would spice it up a bit on my blog by creating a quick plugin which used alternatives for the word said. You can try it out for yourselves by leaving a comment on this post. Again if any one would like to see further upgrades on this plugin just let me know.

You can download the I hate said plugin here. Upload the plugin to your plugins directory and enable. Then goto your theme editor and open the comments.php template.

Find this: <?php _e(’Said&#58;’); ?>

and replace it with this: <?php _e(i_hate_said()); ?>.

Simple.
