About
Hi and welcome to my blog. My name's Alex, although I'm more commonly known as Viper007Bond (or just Viper). I'm a Portland, Oregon developer who works for an awesome company called Automattic (you've probably heard of our WordPress.com blogging network). I also contribute to the open-source blogging software WordPress and have written quite a few WordPress plugins. You can read more about me on my about page.
WordCamp Portland
I'll be attending WordCamp Portland on September 18th and 19th. I hope to see you there!

Can you add the option to show the permalink of the page with [permalink]?

Why would you want the full URL? The purpose of the widget is to show a short URL for the current post.

Take a look at: http://kernell.me/2010/04/marble-phoview/
Check the boxes under the post itself.

I really like this plug-in, but the continuous message “Please configure YOURLS – WordPress to Twitter settings now” is a little annoying if someone isn’t wanting to use the Twitter feature of it. I just upgraded to the newest version and that suddenly appeared/persists. I know how to disable it, but i figured I’d mention it to ya and suggest making it an optional feature instead of a required one.
Thanks again man!

I didn’t write YOURLS or it’s WordPress plugin — Ozh did. I only wrote this widget that displays the short URL.
