Somehow this last year I have jumped into the world of WordPress plugin creation. I’m actually enjoying it. I have been a WordPress user since around version 2.0, or whatever version was out in April 2006. I have run very quiet blogs, like this, as well as a couple of higher traffic blogs such as my gadget block from 2006 to 2011. During this time I have modified plugins, fixed plugins, and become familiar with them from a distance. It turns out when there’s a million page views to a blog in a month that you start to see problems with some plugins. What I like about WordPress plugins is that you can fix them up, make them run more efficiently, and keep the site reliability high.
