favatars fixed for WordPress 2.5.x

By Carlo on 2008-05-19

You like to have a gravatar close to each comment of your blog but… what about an icon near your pingbacks/trackbacks? The solution is: use the favatars plugin.

A patch splitter

By Carlo on 2007-03-21

A simple patch for ToDo plugin

I’ve just started using this ToDo plugin for WordPress: it works but I found and fixed some little problems in the (X)HTML it generates. I left here the patch I made against its trunk.
