Here Be Dragons
This post is dedicated to one of the founding Quam Plures dragons - Yabba who passed away suddenly yesterday.
You will be greatly missed in many, many ways.

Including RSS Feeds In Your Posts
As I have just released the zRSSFeed Plugin I thought I would do a quick post to show you what it looks like with a couple of RSS feeds included in a post. I have taken a couple of feeds from the main Quam Plures website, namely the latest news blog and the codex blog. See what you think:
Up and Coming Plugins
Things have been a little hectic in my work life over the past few months so, much to my disappointment, work on QP has been a little non existent. However, on the up side, pretty much all the new sites I put together are now built with QP so I am getting chance to give it a really good road test and figure out what plugins I need. I try where ever possible to use formal releases of QP (other than this blog which normally has the most recent dev version) so they are all running version 0.0.0. It is proving to be a really stable build with a few bugs being found and pretty much already fixed on Launchpad.
So, in this post I thought I would give you a quick update as to the Quam Plures plugins that I am going to be releasing over the next week or two.
Version 0.2 of the Webmaster Plugin
Version 0.2 of the Webmaster Plugin has just been released. This version brings two simple changes to the Google Analytics settings of the plugin, which basically allow you to better position the analytics code and allow you to integrate the new site speed report. The new features are:
- You now have the option to include the analytics code in the <head> section of your site.
- Google have recently released the option for Google Analytics to track the page load speeds of your site. Extra code is needed in your sites pages to do this and this release of the plugin allows you to add that code.
To read more about the new site speed report in Google Analytics, see the post on the analytics blog: Measure Page Load Time with Site Speed Analytics Report
You can download this plugin from the Hacking Quam Plures plugin repository

Hacking the Admin Look and Feel
Just like many other aspects of Quam Plures, the admin console has changed significantly since we departed from b2evolution 3.3.3. We have moved settings around to allow them to be grouped more logically together and totally removed all the blue from the old admin look and feel. This left us with something that looked like this:
