I do believe that this plug-in should be able to handle any code tweak you enter in your page though…all you need to do is (manually) transfer your tweak from the template page to the plug-in and your customization should be available to your current theme from then on. Thanks for the great input! I’ll see what I can put together in the next couple of weeks. @Vince - I have been looking into this a little further and I think you are absolutely right; tokens are the way to go. I am currently using the Akismet Contact Form that does just this. I am going to play around with this over the weekend and see if I can't come up with something. @derek – Thanks for taking a look…I hope you find it useful. I am just beginning to learn PHP so there is a lot of room for improvement. If there ends up being an interest in this plug-in I may end up moving it over to SourceForge or something…I will let you know. @Dennis – Unfortunately the plug-in does not automatically transfer your tweaks from the current template to the plug-in (but that’s a great idea for a future release…I’ll see what I can do).

I've been kicking around the idea of updating my theme and will certainly be trying this out if I find a theme that I like. If you're ever in need of some assistance with the plugin, let me know and I can try to help. Chris, this was something that was on my wishlist for Wendy’s project so I am happy to see this plugin.

So anything between something like <!--Toggle-On--> and <!--Toggle-Off--> is picked up by the script. Chris,

The next time I install a new theme I will use your plugin Chris. Unfortunately I am such a PHP-amateur that I just place the code where ever I see fit and to fit the page, so now I have no chance of changing theme with out having to go over all my PHP-pages. Especially the Sidebar is very customised. It would be great if your plugin recognised the codes from different sites. Like you've already mentioned, MBL, Adsense, TLA, Feedburner and various commonly used plugins. Great work and good reading! This is exactly what I am looking for.

Right now the functionality is a little limited but I am hoping to expand this plug-in to handle tweaks made in the sidebar and footer as well. I am also planning on taking your advice and submit it to a few plug-in directories (hopefully others might find it useful). Yes, <a href="http://www.nmediainteractive.com" rel="nofollow">nMedia Interactive</a> is a new blog of mine. I plan to post non-seo related information over there so as not to clutter this site with off-topic material. I also do some .NET development on the side and hope to use nMedia Interactive as a springboard for a few of my web development projects. Vince,

If you havn't already you should submit it to the various wordpress plugin directories, might bring you some extra traffic. Is http://www.nmediainteractive.com a new blog of yours?
