Just released a new component called JSecure, it is black/white list manager and enforcer for your Joomla! site. You can easily adjust the rules and apply them to your back-end or front-end or both. It uses cidr notation to easily manage large network ranges and you can add notes to your rules so you will remember why you whitelisted that particular ip.

Bad Behavior safed this blog many times from spam and that protection should be available to Joomla! 1.5 as well. There is already a mambot out there but I wanted no legacy coding or database dependency for this plugin. So I have modified Bad Behavior a little to work without a database and with some checks removed (cookie and blackhole).

It’s just fun to code for the new Joomla! API and I like linking and dynamic content as well as stats. So after catching up on opensourcecommunity.org I saw their popuri.us widget and though it would be nice for a Joomla! site as well.

I have written another small plugin, Google Verify, it place your verification meta tag on your Joomla! website without needing to modify your website template(s). So you don’t have to manually updat every template or new template on your site.

After joining Project Honey Pot and their release of http:BL, I wanted it to use on my blog and Joomla! sites, for wordpress there was already a plugin that does the Job, but couldn’t find any for Joomla! so I made a system plugin.
