Wp-NicEdit Updated version 1.0 released

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

It is more than a week since I released my last plugin  for associating unique header image with each single article of wordpress.

This time I am back again with another plugin “WP-NicEdit”.It’s is a wysiwyg type rich text editor for comments section.

As you may see from the original website of NicEdit(by Brian Kirchoff) http://nicedit.com,He has released a newer version of NicEdit,which has a better well defined API for  extending it.

So I integrated it again to wordpress and that too much more easier than the previous version.

Current features include

1.wysiwyg editor(Choose whether you want default or you want a full panel from admin->settings->Wp NicEdit Settings page.
