Added Plugins To WordPress.org
I've added most of my widgets from Widget A Day. This is to enable update checking and updating in newer versions of WordPress.
For some reason, you have to have the plugin uploaded to wordpress.org to be able for WordPress to check if it's out of date. Not sure why they couldn't let people add an update url in their plugin informations that WordPress would check. The only reason I can think of, without actually trying to figure out the real reason, is that all the plugins could be checked using a single request, instead of a request for each plugin. I don't really think they should automatically just send your plugin information to themselves without asking or having a way to opt out, but whatever.
I didn't add the Digg Widget or the Countdown Widget. The Countdown widget I just thought was lame.
A Digg Widget already exists, but it just uses the Javascript script that digg gives out, which isn't any fun. I'll probably still end up uploading it as 'Digg Widget by sk33t' or 'Script-less Digg Script' or something along those lines.
Also, I'll post my GSoC proposals here in the next day or two
Hi,
I have a question about your weather-widget.
Is there a way to have your widget display weather for multiple locations at the same time. For instance if I were traveling I could post the weather at home and the weather where I currently am. That would be pretty cool, yes?
Thanks in advance.
