Easy MailChimp Integration

I just released the updated version of my MailChimp WordPress plugin,  Easy MailChimp Integration!

With Easy MailChimp Integration, you can seamlessly integrate your MailChimp account in to WordPress. All you need is your MailChimp account’s API key and a list id.

Once the setup is complete you can use a widget or a shortcode to put the forms on your posts and pages or use it in your custom templates with a php snippet.

If you notice any issues, please submit a bug to the Github Issue Tracker and I’ll look in to it as soon as possible.

This is a continuation of the YIKES, Inc. Easy MailChimp Extender plugin.

What’s With The Lack Of Updates?

Yeah — sorry about that. Things have been pretty crazy around here lately. I’m not complaining though, I’ve been working on two rather large projects and having an excellent time doing so.

When I get a bit more time, I’ll put some information about them up here. If all goes well, one of them should be going live on Monday. Once it does, it’ll be the largest site that I’ve ever built from the ground up. So large in fact, that I had to work with a contractor for the last 8 months to get everything up to this point.

Here’s something to pique your interest in the meantime; I’ve just developed a new website for the folks over at Digital Embyro. Feel free to take a look at the portfolio entry for it. It’s a completely custom WordPress 3 install. First time I used child themes, too (awesome, by the way).

Anyway, stay tuned for my next update — I promise you’ll like it!

WordCamp Philly, Here I Come!

WordCamp Philly is coming up faster than I thought it would — it’s right around the corner now. I’m all registered and can’t wait to fill my head with all of that delicious WordPress information. I’m also really looking forward to all of the speakers this year including my friends Sean Blanda (one of the three co-founders of Techically Philly) and Reed Gustow. Are you going?

Need State and Country Dropdowns? No Problem!

Frequently while programming, I find myself in need of a complete list of the States, their abbreviations and sometimes even Countries. Usually I end up prowling Google trying to find some sort of list that I can then import in to a database. Each time I did it I kept wondering why I hadn’t created some script for that yet.

I know it’s more efficient to make use of a database with tables for States and Countries, however, in the event that I don’t need one or am just doing some sort of one off solution, I’ve created a couple functions and two arrays to help myself, and maybe you guys out. Need Dropdown? I Have ‘Em!

Windows and its Auto Restarting; Super Annoying

SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!I’d like to think I’m a fairly patient person in most aspects of my life — and for the most part I am. However, I’m an amazingly impatient person when it comes to computing in general. I like things done as soon as possible with little to no interruptions. I’m sure you can imagine my annoyance when Windows XP decides to restart itself while I’m at work (probably due to an update that I didn’t notice) right in the middle of my day, force-closing most programs I have open and prompting me to save in others. Approximately 3 nanoseconds after it asks, it closes them anyway. Frustrated Yet?
