New plugins: Billboard Manager + AJAX Report Comments

jamie — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 17:45:13 +0000

This past week we launched two new plugins which we think will be exciting for a lot of WordPress publishers out there.

The first one – the Billboard Manager – lets you create highly customizable billboards for your site. These can include video, stills, or other Flash content. The editor lets you easily swap in assets, create playlists and control the look and feel for a high visibility promotional component to your site.

The second one – AJAX Report Coments – gives high traffic blogs with lots of comments a simple and powerful tool for users to flag inappropriate comments for the the site admin using AJAX or email.

Check them out and let us know what you think. And stay tuned for some additional new plugins coming in the next few weeks.
