OK, so here’s the deal, if you want to put any of these nifty little icons in your twitter feed, all you’ve got to do is either 1) install a bookmarklet in your browser; or 2) visit this page, find icons you like, and copy and paste them, one by one, into the box on Twitter.com. Both of which are totally crap options, now that I think about it, for a stupid little picture, but maybe having cute icons is worth it? I don’t know. Please nobody use this one, or if you do, just don’t tell me about it, K?

Plugin You Need: Quick Adsense

quick adsense plugin

Quick Adsense is a plugin for WordPress that allows you to quickly put in your ad codes (for any network) and place them throughout your WordPress blog. I recently added 300 x 250 square ads between posts, and using Quick Adsense to install the code allowed me to avoid dicking around with the WordPress and Thesis coding. There are settings for having the ads appear on the homepage only (this is the option I chose), or on every page, or every post. This is especially helpful for people who want to install ad code for the first time and aren’t even sure how to use sidebar text widgets — it takes a lot of the guesswork out of things and will even allow you to adjust the margins, etc. through the settings page. Cool!
