BetterThumbs WordPress Plugin

I’m proud to announce another code release: BetterThumbs WordPress Plugin

The BetterThumbs WordPress Plugin creates true thumbnails for full-size images that are resized in the post editor, instead of just letting the browser scale down the original full-size image. This translates into faster load times and lower bandwidth usage.

I built this plugin out of frustration with the way WordPress handles images that have been resized in the post editor. To be honest, I believe this functionality should be built into WordPress — it just makes more sense to create true thumbnails based on the dimensions the author wants.

So enjoy and leave your feedback!

    Nice work!

    Side Note: If you want to resize images from previous posts, just re-save them.

    Will automatic resizing of previous post images be part of version 1.1 functionality? :]

    i might use your amazon plugin. i’ll let you know if i figure out what to do with it ;)

    also, would you be willing to share the details of your Twitter integration? what…. XML/PHP/Flash? I’m not a programmer, so I’m just grasping at straws here, haha.

    keep it chilled, brother-friend…
