Lobster version 2.0.3 is ready for download. This revision fixes a bug that prevented old items from being purged from the database, and adds a few features.

The first is a “URL unshortener” plugin. Lots of the links you’ll find in the feeds you’re blogging and tweeting about are redirects of some sort. Some go through [...]

I’ve been using Lobster’s new blogging tool for a week now, and the results are looking good. Just as the Twitter tool increased my tweeting output, the blogging tool has made it easier for me to keep adding fresh, original content to my blog.

I’ve noticed that on days when I post, the traffic to my [...]

Version 2.0 of Lobster is available for download now at Gecko Tribe Customer Privileges (all buyers of CaRP Evolution version 4 or the RSS Super Pack have access). This version adds a major new feature: blogging directly from your RSS feed reader!

If that doesn’t sound like a big deal to you, I’ve got a free [...]

I’ve got a few nice uses of CaRP Evolution to show you today. (If you’d like me to link to a page where you’re using or writing about a Gecko Tribe product, submit your link here.)

Rodrigo Fernandez uses CaRP to display the latest news about Costa Rica on his Costa Rica Photos site.

I recently noticed that the page I was linking to for fonts for my PHP & GD powered captcha script had been taken down, so I went looking for another solution for my users. What I found was even better than another place to get fonts.

GD FontMaker is a script by Howard Yeend that converts [...]

I whipped up a new free WordPress plugin today. Twidget/WP displays your latest Twitter posts in the sidebar of your WordPress blog. (You can see an example to the right).

Since the size of the widget is not fixed, there’s no wasted space like you get with Twitter’s official JavaScript widget.

A few key features include:

The typical link exchange is like a caveman’s mating ritual: bash Google over the head with a club and ask for a kiss.

Free-for-all links pages used to be a viable SEO tool until the search engines realized that they’re about as useful for discovering quality content as a whack on the head with a club. [...]

The other day I came up with a funny idea — rather than trying to convince customers to buy my products instead of the competition, why not promote the competition’s products, giving my products to customers who buy through my affiliate link!
