Today we released the 1.4 update for our free Earth Hour plugin for WordPress.

This plugin that allows you to show support for the Earth Hour event and “turn off” your website’s lights during the hour. It’s an easy way to show your support for Earth Hour, and raise awareness of the worldwide event.

Before the event your site will show a thin banner which counts down to the event, shows how many other sites are using the plugin, and also links to the official Earth Hour website.

During the event, your website shows a “blackout” screen, with an earth hour logo (or you can display your own) and your own personalized message and earth hour image letting visitors know your website is participating in the event.

You can find out more about the plugin on the Official WordPress plugin repository, or add the plugin through your WordPress admin by visiting the plugins/add new page, and searching for “Earth Hour”.

We just did a quick update to WordTwit to include support for the Ow.ly URL shortening service, and also fixed a few old bugs (the most important of which is the weird one involving encoding characters in the update message). The WordPress repository is updated, so you should see it shortly. Sometimes we botch the update process and have to release another point release. Hopefully that won’t be the case this time :)

We’ve released an Earth Hour plugin here at BraveNewCode, called the Earth Hour WordPress Plugin, and it’s available here.

What Does It Do?

The Earth Hour plugin will add a small fixed banner across the top of your site (we’re running it here on BraveNewCode) that provides a link to the Earth Hour website, counts all the sites using the plugin and participating in the event, and also provides a link for others to visit our site and learn about/download the plugin themselves for their own WordPress sites.

It will also automatically determine your timezone for Earth Hour, Saturday March 28th at 8:30pm local time, and ‘switch off’ your website, instead showing a page showing your solidarity of support for the hour, and then ‘switch on’ your site afterwards.

You can view screenshots on the earth hour plugin page, along with version details and the reasons behind our creating the plugin.

The plugin is free to all, released under the GPU General Public License.

Apple, after releasing the 2.0.1 update a little while back has pushed out another ‘bug fix’ update today. I’m currently in the process of updating. Hopefully this will again shore up some of the blunders that the rather beta-feeling 2.0 update delivered.
