IE6 Update screencast, WordPress plugin, and more…

Nick Pettit

As was mentioned in a previous post, there have been lots of interesting developments around IE6 Update. Check these out:

Ian Ozsvald, a professional screencaster over at ProCasts, graciously put together this awesome screencast that demonstrates how IE6 Update works.

Ian is all about education, and has a website called £5 App dedicated to startups, along with a tech-based screencast site called ShowMeDo. Thanks Ian!

Next up is this nifty WordPress plugin from Japh. The plugin allows WordPress bloggers to easily install IE6 Update on their blogs, and it’s already garnering some popularity! At the time of this writing, there have been 66 downloads. Nice work, Japh!

Finally, Justin Hileman created a version of the IE6 Update code that points to Firefox instead of Internet Explorer 8. Please note that anyone can change the URL that IE6 Update points to by making the appropriate overrides to the default options.

We’re really happy to see all this activity around IE6 Update. Keep up the great work everyone! :D

Glad people are liking the WordPress plugin! I’m hoping to release an update this weekend that will expose all the options in IE6Update within WP’s Admin Settings.

Keep up the great work! :D
