WordPress shortcode snippet to display external files

Mar 1st, 2011

Successful Facebook Integration Case Study

Feb 17th, 2011

We all love search engine traffic. It's free, it's accessible and it's growing at a constant pace as more and more people join Internet and others become more proficient in using search engines. But let's face it, you'd never want to rely entirely on search engine traffic to drive leads to your business. And many businesses don't, especially very large and those very small ones.

I will not download and use your plugin!

Feb 7th, 2011

I get these kind of comments over and over again. I will not download and use your plugin if you don't "(do as I say)" or It is a great plugin but unfortunately I will have to uninstall it unless you "(add some blackmail quotes)" It's kind of funny situation so that inspired me to do this image :)On a more serious note, I found this great article called "Hey WordPress, Stop Treating Commercial Plugin Developers Like Second Class Citizens" which reflects another problem on a different front.
