A quick note for those who follow my blog but not the SANIsoft blog. The Wordpress Plugin to import comments from your Flickr Photos into your Wordpress posts is now listed at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/live-flickr-comment-importer/ and the plugin home page is at http://www.sanisoft.com/blog/2009/12/15/wordpress-plugin-live-flickr-comment-importer/
Bug reports, feature request and patches most welcome

Yesterday I hacked a plugin which allows importing of comments from Flickr into a Wordpress post, however I am not releasing this iteration of the plugin because
- It does not really use the Flickr API but the recent activity RSS feed
- It involves the Wordpress user entering a custom field called flickr_ID which should have the value of the picture ID on Flickr
- It is hooked to the admin_head – which means that comments are imported only when I do something in the Wordpress Admin
Thus I am not releasing this version – the next version will try to solve the above three issues and I will release that. Meanwhile if you go to this photo on Flickr and comment, the comment will show up on this post in a while
Over at SANIsoft in the past few days we released two small but very useful bits of code. The code was written to itch the classical ‘I need it’ itch. I do hope there will be more like me out there who would like to solve the same problems.
- jQuery auto-correct plugin – Once attached to an input field of a form this plugin will automatically replace / correct common typos like ‘teh’ and ‘taht’
- DateTitle – A WordPress plugin for automatic post titles If a title of a post is left blank this plugin will automatically insert todays date in a format of your choice.
The links to downloads and demo are on the pages which I have linked above

After a lot of reluctance I am pushing myself to revive the journal writing, this time though I am going to use a self hosted Wordpress on my site at http://tariquesani.net/blog/. Yes the URL says blog but I essentially want to keep this as a journal. No! I do not want to revive the journal vs. blog flame wars.
If you are reading this on the Live Journal site – you will notice that the entry has been cross posted, I will cross post perhaps for a few days and then stop… All the entries right from 2002 have been imported in to the Wordpress install.
In a reversal of sorts I have decided to host my pictures at flickr and will be using the blog to post links to them. The current Coppermine install at http://tariquesani.net/ will stay because of SEO reasons, but sooner or later I will make the complete site Wordpress based.
For the interested the theme used is a modification of Amazing grace theme – I chose this theme for the rotating headers and warm colors – am finally getting bored of dark colors for my websites 
Anyone having any suggestions for themes are most welcome.
Some day I will make a list of all the widgets and plugins I use.
