Credits

This web site would be a bland stream of black text on white pages if it wasn’t for the generous code contributions of the Open Source community. Credits and thanks go to the following:

• The WordPress team for developing such an excellent piece of software and giving it away for free. WordPress is now the most widely-used self-hosted blogging tool in the world.
• Cleave Design for the Cleaker WordPress theme which I used as a basis for this site, and Chris Webb for widgetizing the theme.
• Deziner Folio for their Simple Javascript Accordion script which I used as the basis for the right-hand sidebar’s animation.
• Jeoen Wijering for his JW Image Rotator flash application used for the banner images in the header.

The many WordPress plug-in developers in the world. I’m currently using the following plug-ins:

  Akismet 2.2.7
» Matt Mullenweg (url)
Akismet checks your comments against the Akismet web service to see if they look like spam or not. You need a WordPress.com API key to use it. You can review the spam it catches under “Comments.” To show off your Akismet stats just put <?php akismet_counter(); ?> in your template. See also: WP Stats plugin.
