V1.4 of Kachingle’s WordPress plugin has been released. Additions include support for the new small (61×61 pixels) Jazz Medallion and a Who’s Kachingling Whom widget. Both can be seen right here on the Kachingle blog: the Jazz Medallion is at the top of each post, under the title, and a Who’s Kachingling Whom widget is in the right sidebar.

In order to create more flexibility we’ve created a range of nicknames for the different Medallion styles. The original 230px wide Medallion is now called Classical, the narrow 160px wide Medallion is now called Neoclassical and Jazz is 61px. For the WordPress plugin both the old and new names work interchangeably.

If you’ve already installed the plugin you should see an upgrade available notice in your WordPress Dashboard. To install and start using it now use the automated WordPress plugin installation process:

  • Go to the Add Plugin screen on your blog’s Admin page
  • Enter ‘Kachingle Medallion’ into the search field
  • When the results are shown click the Install link and complete the wizard steps
  • Be sure you activate the plugin afterwards

Since this blog is a place for us to demonstrate our technology as well as a communications channel we’ll sometimes do things a normal user wouldn’t. In this case I’m referring to having a Jazz Medallion and a Neoclassical Medallion in every post; I don’t think anyone else would do this.

Changelog:

  • Added support for the new, smaller Jazz Medallion style
  • Renamed narrow and wide Medallion styles to neoclassical and classsical, respectively (the old style names will continue to work for backwards compatibility)
  • Removed the allowtransparency=”true” attribute and the text only seen by browsers which do not support iFrames from the generated Medallion HTML
  • Added the Who’s Kachingling Whom widget
