While developing Basic-SEO I’ve found the following sites very useful for reference purposes:

WordPress Plugin Repositoryhttp://wp-plugins.org

You can’t beat learning by example, here you can browse the source code of all the plugins WordPress.org hosts.

WordPress PHP Documentationhttp://phpdoc.wordpress.org/

All the comments from the WordPress source code extracted in HTML format and correctly linked, very useful for looking up functions.

WordPress Hooks Databasehttp://adambrown.info/p/wp_hooks

Database of all the action & filter hooks that have ever been available in any WordPress release and where it occurs in the source code.

WordPress Codexhttp://codex.wordpress.org/

The official documentation for WordPress, has a very useful developer documentation section.

WordPress plugin: Basic-SEO

Posted: August 10th, 2010 | Author: Jon | Filed under: Development | Tags: , , , , | No Comments »

It’s time to unveil my first WordPress plugin: Basic-SEO. It’s a very, very simple plugin really, it applies a pre-defined set of search engine optimisations to your active theme. It has no configuration options at all at the moment it just achieves the goal I had in mind for it. I thought I’d release it as it is now in case anyone else finds it useful. I’ve already got a list of features I’d like to add to it but my next step is to get it listed on WordPress Plugins.

If you find the plugin useful or have an feedback then please let me know.
