and response even quicker. Now, thanks to http:BL WordPress Plugin any

abusing it.


= Call For Maintainers =

As my connection with the WordPress platform and the PHP ecosystem has weakened
I'm looking for an enthusiastic developer who'd like to dedicate her or his
time to further development and maintenance of this plugin. Don't hesitate to
get in touch if me if you consider yourself a good candidate.

== Installation ==

1. Get an archive with the most recent version of http:BL WordPress Plugin.
1. Uncompress the `httpbl` directory from the archive to your
`wp-content/plugins` directory.
1. Activate the plugin in the administration panel.
1. Open the plugin’s configuration subpage and enter your Access Key and
configure available options accordingly to your preferences.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Does http:BL WordPress Plugin work with WordPress MU? =

Yes, it does. If you don't want to give your bloggers an access to the
plugin's configuration page, you have to modify the source code slightly. Find
a line containing `plugins.php` and change it to `wpmu-admin.php`. It should
work fine. If it does not, do not hesitate to inform me about it or provide
your own patch.

= Is there an easy way to contact the developer of this plugin? =

Of course there is. Visit [author's website](http://stepien.cc/~jan) in order
to find his e-mail address and Jabber ID.
