Google Trends identifies the hottest trends in search — the keywords that massive numbers of people have recently started searching for. When big […]

I’ve just released a new revision of the CaRP/WP WordPress plugin that integrates my RSS to HTML converter with WordPress. The new version adds support for the YouTube plugin that I just released for CaRP. Using it, you can display dynamically updating YouTube videos in your WordPress posts and pages.
