Now this is something that I have been longing for! Ever since the link from this post kind of disappeared.

Click Counter for WordPress Plugin
Will let you know you know how many people click on your links (Looks as if there's a lot of configuration settings you can do as well) Can't wait to try it out!

This has made the rounds, but I'll attribute credit to the last place I saw it, which was Blogging Pro

Brian Meidell's nested (or threaded) comments

Just a side note: there was an error when using that with subscribe to comments, but I've updated subscribe to comments so that the error should no longer exist.

I'm in the process of training someone at work in the ways of all things web. LOL! So I've been trying to collect free online tutorials for them to walk through, as well as some good all-around beginner info sites they can look at when they have time. Here's a few I got:

W3Schools
Lot of tutorials (PHP, CSS, ASP, SQL)

sqlcourse.com
Great SQL tutorial

HTML dog
Great HTML and CSS reference

PHP.net
This is pretty much a no-brainer. I must go there several times a day.

CSS Zen Garden

HTML Lite
Tutorials: HTML, Javascript, PHP, CSS, MySQL tutorials (among others)

I'll post more in the comments section as I find them. (Feel free to post your fav, if not already listed)

Special Alt Characters
In case you ever need to know how to type an — or é
(To do them in HTML though you'd probably want to see something like this)

Awhile back I wanted to link to a song on iTunes, and Wendell a reader on one of my other blogs gave me this link to do it with:

iTunes Link Maker

(Wendell if you'd like to me to link a blog from your name – let me know)

A gallery of Favicons to inspire you.

How to blog by email
Blogging by email is built into WP, but if you wanted your hand held to set it up, consider it held. This tutorial will walk you through how to do it.

I'm kind of surprised I didn't post this already (maybe I did and I just can't find it) – but on another blog, I have drop down comments set so it only does this for the first 'x' number of posts with comments. (Otherwise download times can get a little bogged down if there's a lot of posts with comments on the page…) To do that I have this at the top of my page:

<?php
$showcommentmax = 3;
$currentshowcomment = 0;
?>

Then I have this code around the drop down comments call:

<?php
if ($showcommentmax > $currentshowcomment) {
include(ABSPATH . 'wp-dropdown-comments.php');
if (get_comments_count() > 0) {
$currentshowcomment++;
// only counting show comment if it there are comments to show
}
}
?>

Spotted on Weblog Tools Collection (All of these are for WordPress 1.3+)

Mass Spam Delete
Easily delete all comments matching criteria you determine… As posted by Chris: "Mass Spam Delete is a system that allows you to delete all comments in the database by IP, Name, URI or email. "

Matt's Asides for 1.3

While we're on the subject of IE funkiness – I ended up on Toothpaste Addict tonight and noticed this little trick. (Actually, something weird happend when I copied and pasted the code from Toothpaste. Must have something to do with the text formatting there. But I found this page – which actually shows the same code, but copying/pasting that one worked)

<!–[if IE]>
IE 5.0 – 6.0 will be the only browsers to see this line.
