). Skins are now Templates, the install process is now improved as it asks you for an admin username and password and the upgrade process should now be a lot smoother due to a new directory naming convention. However, a lot of the changes aren't visible from the outside as a lot of code has been refactored and removed (I am thinking spam and calling home code here). Anyway, the thing I am playing with today is the Quick Tags plugin.

This is a plugin that is distributed with the core and adds a number of toolbars to the write/edit post screen to allow you to quickly insert html tags. This plugin is a god send if (like me) you don't like the WYSIWYG editors. Today's job is to add more features to the Link button. At the moment it prompts you for a URL to link to and that is it. I want it to also prompt you for a title attribute and possibly a class and a target attribute also. The title attribute should always be there so the plugin will always prompt for that but the class and the target will be configurable items (ie you can turn them on or off and if they are on you can set a default.) The default for these configurable items will be off. Something like this:
