Witty Text is a WordPress plugin by Alexander Malov to view a randomly selected line from a textfile. The major use shurely is the displaying of random quotes. I changed a little bit of the code to support multiple textfiles through the parameters. The original used a hardcoded filename. Now you can reuse the same plugin eg. to show some quotes and at another place, to show some imageurls selected from a textfile.
Usage is quite easy:

<?php 
  if (function_exists('wittyx')) {
    wittyx('quotations.txt'); 
  } 
?>

The plugin is available here.

Well, some days ago I modified the code of the Slashdot.org headlines plugin by Dave Wolf to have rssfeeds from the german pages heise and telepolis. Now I wanted to incude more rssfeeds on my blog, since I got the rssfeed-mania.
The new plugin I wrote, again based on the code by Dave Wolf, can handle any amount of personally configurable rssfeeds. So you just have one plugin for all rssfeeds. It still includes the UTF-8 support for special characters. My favourite rssfeeds are included in the default version but can be individuallly expanded. A little bit of sense for php code is needed for the changes, since I had not time to include a management plugin.
The usage is explained in the sourcecode, as a comment.

Since I started to use WordPress as my blogging tool, I loved the Slashdot.org headlines plugin by Dave Wolf. But my favourite newspages are heise.de and telepolis. So I modified little bit of the code from Dave Wolf: changed the newsfeed urls, added UTF-8 support for the german special characters and voila. The usage is the same as for the Slashdot.org plugin. Just use HeiseHeadlines(x) or TelepolisHeadlines(x) to insert into any template.
