Yesterday I have extended the plugin with adjustable size of the thumbnails (width & height) and padding (space between thumbnails). Now looking into a checkbox wich will force the widget to use defined set of default values so the plugin will continue to work when only the mobypicture username is filled in. I expect to upload version 1.1 by the end of this week.
Demo new code:
< ?php mobypic_pics($username = chillez73, $num = 6, $width = 70, $height = 100, $padding = 3, $linked = true); ?>
More as a reminder to my own self rather than something to share with whomever visits this blogs 
. There a some things I wish to change to my website, these are (in no particular order):
Of course a site also needs some interesting content but this is of lesser importance to me. I am just playing around with WordPress and trying to build a site with some nice features.
Something you would like to see changed or added to this site? Just leave a comment with your tips or ideas, your feedback is appreciated!
With the My Mobypicture plugin installed you can also include a photostream in a post or on a page. It does require the ability to run php code in you post though.
Below code shows the last 8 pics from Mobypicture CEO Mathys van Abbe:
“< ?php mobypic_pics($username = ‘mathys‘, $num = ‘6‘, $linked = ‘true‘); ?>”
Today I received the approval from WordPress to upload my Mobypicture widget to the WP Plugin Directory. Learned some Subversion stuff along the way as well. I had to ‘svn’ and ‘check out’ my empty version from the repository and then ‘check in’ my source files (php file, readme.txt and screenshots) back into the repository. It took a couple of minutes to show up on the WP Plugin page but eventually it showed up, Yes! I would love to receive your feedback in the comments. Don’t forget to rate the plugin when you download it from WP.

Update @23:43: Found some bad grammar in the readme.txt, updated the file. Mobypicture & Mathys tweeted go-live to their followers on Twitter – nice!
Plugin download stats
It’s been 9 days now since I have uploaded the Mobypicture plugin to the WordPress Plugin Directory. It is fun to see that it is downloaded over 70 times now. Next step will be extending the plugin with a settings page to allow the insertion of a command like [mymobipictures] into a page or post. This will provide a more friendly way to insert the variables (like number of pictures, size, etc.) and eliminate the need for running PHP in a post or on a page.
