NM-Delete-Revision WordPress Plugin

Since version 2.6 WordPress has included a feature which stores revisions for different posts you edit. Although this functionality can be useful it times, over time it also takes up storage space and makes your database slower. This plugin allows to scan your database for revisions and then delete them if you choose. Completely disabling revision functionality is not a good idea. Instead, you should use this plugin to periodically delete redundant revisions.

Until now, I’ve been using the Delete-Revision. It’s functionality is good, but working with it can be major pain because of the poor translations used. Not the developer’s fault – he seems to be some Chinese guy who just used BabelFish for translation. (Which is why his original plugin speaks of ‘losing weight’ rather than ‘deleting revisions’.) So I decided to make my own edits and came up with NM-Delete Revision. This removes the locale settings for Chinese language and gives a properly translated interface. Downloads are available below. Version numbers are in sync with the last version of the original plugin it was modified from. Feedback is welcome – leave it using the comment form below.

The Quiz Blogs Mega RSS Feed

Keeping in touch with the torrents of data generated by quiz blogs (most of them from India) can be quite a task. Quizzing is so popular that there are hundreds of quiz blogs in the blogosphere. Subscribing to these blogs – via RSS readers or email – can get quite messy as there are so many of them. Which why I thought of creating this ‘mega’ feed – one which would contain updates from the most active and reputed quizzing-related blogs.

You can subscribe to Quiz Blogs Mega RSS Feed using an RSS reader or get updates from it delivered to your email inbox. All for free. Now you won’t have to bother any more with managing multiple feed in your RSS reader or your inbox getting flooded with multiple emails.

I’ve created a page for Quiz Blogs Mega RSS Feed on my blog. Check it out for more information on how this project was implemented, and for any updates on its status.
