Due to some requests and feedback I received on my Wordpress plugin ZdMultilang, a new version has been published on wordpress.org.
This version is numbered 1.1.0 because of the number of improvements I made to the plugin. But before to talk about what I’ve changed, I’d like to thank all those who gave me their ideas and feedback on the plugin :
- Impulse for his help on solving a very annoying bug (two flags instead of one)
- Jeremy Clarke for his suggestion on displaying only translated posts
- Eduardo and Ferlo for their view of the SEO against the plugin
- Teneke for the bug due to UTF-8 character encoding
- Emmanuel Georjon for his comments on dashboard integration and other tips.

I already talked about Magento Commerce some times ago, and the latest version is out. Magento is one of the best Open Source eCommerce software I’ve ever seen and latest version adds some very usefull features such as bundles and Virtual products. Virtual products will enable you to skip the delivery options.
Personalized products are also available and will allow you to sell products with specific options.
Magento 1.1 features a new Webservices API that enables you to integrate with third parts applications.
I’m happy to see that magento is very well accepted because the software has already been downloaded more than 400.000 times and they recently received the Best New Open Source project award as the 2008 SourceForge.net Community Choice Awards

As everyone know now, Wordpress 2.6 is Google Gears Ready.
In fact, Google gears is a product you can install on your computer to “cache” files onto you computer and simulate they are located on the internet. Meaning that any file cached through Gears will not be downloaded from the net, but directly from your computer, therefore, they are loaded nearly instantly.
How does it work ?
First, you have to install google gears, to do so, just go to gears.google.com and click on the install button, as shown below:

Once this is done, just go to the whole process, in the end, you’ll have to restart your browser so that it’s properly installed.
