Promote MDN WordPress Plugin
I'm very happy to share with you the Promote MDN WordPress plugin, created by Mozilla Web Developer Luke Crouch. The Promote MDN plugin analyzes your blog post content and links prominent development keywords to the Mozilla Developer Network. MDN is the best resource for learning about new and advanced browser APIs, front-end techniques, and just about everything else.
From a writer's perspective, I look forward to installing this plugin because it will allow me to talk about APIs without having to explain each in detail. The plugin will also be helpful in implicitly encouraging readers to explore each topic further. If you have a blog, give this plugin a shot -- your readers will be grateful!

![Drag and Drop MooTools File Uploads]()
Honesty hour confession: file uploading within the web browser sucks. It just does. Like the ugly SELECT element, the file input is almost unstylable and looks different on different platforms. Add to those criticism the fact that we're all used to drag and drop operations...
That’s really awesome. The new wiki simply rocks, well done :)
But you haven’t installed it on your own blog yet?
I’ll be using it on my redesign :)
