And a custom plug-in that I wrote that automatically posts a one line joke to Twitter every 45 minutes to an hour. So if you follow us on Twitter, this is what creates all the content in our time line. We don’t actually post this stuff by hand every day – we use technology.
If you have any questions about the above plug-ins, or suggestions for new ones that may be useful then please tell us about it. We’re always looking for ways to improve the site. Thanks!
