The idea was nice, but know it’s even more fun with this new plugin: user controls which theme to display on the blog they are reading.

Try it yourself on lasindias.info

Theme viewer

There’re surely some more feature to add before the plugin is complete:

  • Use cookie to keep plugin whil navigating on the blog
  • Add form for admin to add or upload a new theme
  • Fun factor: save last selected theme as the default blog theme, users now control your blog presentation!

Download Theme viewer plugin for Wordpress

Thanks to Dougal Campbell for the original Preview Theme plugin.

Feevy Sidebar Widget

First release of Feevy sidebar widget, that would people using free wordpress.com account to get Feevy in their sidebars.

To test it on your ‘own-managed’ wordpress weblog:

  • Download and install Sidebar Widget plugin. Your Wordpress theme need to be compatible, or you can modify it using these instructions;
  • Download and install Feevy Sidebar Widget;
  • Configure your Feevy widget in Sidebar Widget configuration panel.

You can add up to 9 Feevy in your sidebar (or sidebars). It would be particulary useful for people using tags.

Coming plugin: Feevy Blogroll

This plugin will insert a new panel in Wordpress Blogroll section, allowing you to manage your Feevy directly from your Wordpress admin.

More to come soon ;-)
