This would probably be the first “contest” on this site. Basically, I’m going to release this template to the public early if it gets enough approvals - and the best way to do it would have to be through the built-in voting system here. A pretty cool move right? I’d bet this would probably be the first time anyone would have done something like that.

Due to an unforeseen problem, Tevine’s server was temporarily shuttered. So, this left Tevine server-less for a while. Because this came quickly and unexpectedly, a 3 day downtime cannot be prevented. Well, at least the good news is that the hosting is back online, and better too.
Since this is a temporary announcement, expect it to be gone in a few days time.

Tevine now has a new repository called “Projects“. There are some projects within there already. Here are some notable ones that are useful to almost everyone. Just to cut to the point, I shall be announcing 2 Wordpress plugins in this post.
Title Capitalization
This plugin automates the process of capitalizing titles. I’m sure you know what capitalization is. Capitalization helps give a little ”formal” look to your post titles. Here are some formats [there are 6] supported:
This format capitalizes only the first word.
THIS ONE ON THE OTHER HAND IS ALL CAPS.
This Format Captializes Every Single Word.
Certainly this One might be a Little Different than the Ones Above.
I didn’t want to put a whole dictionary inside the plugin, so the plugin will only deal to a certain level of grammar (sorry, I cannot make titles that look the same as that of CNN, because that would require a dictionary list of nouns, articles, adjectives, etc….). There are some problems with this plugin though (involving some grammar), which would be fixed eventually.
Okay, maybe the same effects can be achieved by using a little PHP, but maybe new users of Wordpress don’t know how to put in a little PHP.
Installation is pretty simple, copy the plugin, activate it, and change the options.
This was released a little earlier, but I didn’t annouce it much. This plugin gives voting functionality to your posts. Add one line of code, and voila! People can vote for your posts. Guest support is included.
Several styles are supported by this plugin - bar and ticker. There is also some inside code that you can use to even set up a bookmarking site.
Installation is not as simple compared to the first one, but it is roughly the same and is quite easy to follow. Copy the plugin (contained in a directory), activate it, change some options, follow instructions inside the option panel.

At the moment, it does not allows for input, but that will come soon in due time.

We figured that maybe some people are too shy to use our posting feature, so we made something that allows you to voice your opinion. A little democracy never hurts anyone right?
The voting system in Tevine is similar to other voting systems - you like the story, you vote for it. Each vote contributes a little to the “bar” you see at the bottom of each post. Fill it up, and see what happens. ;)
We will enable guest voting soon.

Tevine had over 40 newly registered users since its opening. Of course, we welcome these new registered users.
Of course, there is a chance that majority of them are probably “bots” (some with pretty obvious fake names and email), and surely bots are there to… spam.
Though, Tevine has not seen any increase (or any) spam comments despite the large amount of seemingly automated registrations. This could be that the comments form had been modified, pretty much making it slightly different from other WordPress site installs. We would however, be enhancing security by implementing a capcha system for new user signups.
Nonetheless, we would like to welcome genuine sign-ups to Tevine.

Tevine now has no-follow disabled (meaning they are do-follow) for all comments, trackbacks and posts. This means that if you put a link into a comment or post, it will be counted as a real link, similar to trackbacks.
However, there are some guidelines that you will need to follow when posting a comment here.
