Hi there people.

This is not a wordpress plugin, but after searching the net for a good free ajax powered currency converter / calculator is decided it was time to put fingers to keys and write my own – so here it is. I am still in negotiations to get a good set of xml rate feeds, but everything looks good.

Here is my AJAX powered currency converter for webmasters. You can easily add a currency rate calculator or exchange rate form to your website using a single line of code. Give it a try at http://currencyconverter.55uk.net/ajax_currency_converter.html

Best of all, its free to use.

I have seen CoolWeather in action on some sites, and it looks very nice. I tried to put it on my WP blog, though, and can’t get it to work for the life of me. There are some things that prevent it from EVER working out of the box, such as an incorrect path-name to some files located in the man php file for the plugin. I’m guessing there are other small things like this, and I would really love to get this plugin working. Does anyone have some advice?

I feel that ajax is the way forward for next stage internet. Really simple and innovative also..

I love it. Ajax is getting more and more simple to implement.
I’ll give some of these a try on at least one of my WP sites.
Thanks for the List

Nice list !

As an exercise, I made an Ajax currency converter widget for wordpress. I did my best to minimize the UI and iron out any performance issues. The widget support all the 177 currencies. Check it out :

Currency calculator is nice… I did one as well and I was also stuck with the same options as you and I decided on writing one myself. I will suggest why not you change the form submit AJAX as well… then it will go well with the name of the site.. dont ya think???

Sometimes difficult to navigate the Ajaxian site although the content is excellent.

One would think a site called “Ajaxian” would implement some of these!!

Aha… it’s a box which only scrolls sideways… I thought of a box whooshing into view from a side… :|

Could someone post a link to a working Codebox sample? It’s about the ‘Side scrolling box for displaying code snippets’… I can’t make heads or tails from that polish website (http://zimaq.pl/projekty) and been clicking for 15 minutes now…
