I don’t want to take credit for this, but I definitely wanted to blog about it because I think it is a big deal. In a forum post I made on modxcms.com, ganeshXL came up with an awesome way to cache snippet output with a MODx plugin. Here is what ganeshXL wrote:

I was in need of doing some browser testing tonight and I thought I’d share the free sites that can be used for checking your web designs across multiple browsers and platforms.
browsershots.org

A while back I wrote a post linking to a css formatter and optimizer, not knowing then that it was a piece of open source code. When I figured that out I thought it would be a great idea to put it up on DEVTRENCH. I really love this code since it makes [...]

Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either. I got on my blog today and noticed the Do Follow plugin was in serious bad shape. As I looked around, I caught the new kid on the block, Show Top Commentators, red handed…literally…bloody knuckels and all. Since Do Follow was obviously down for the count, and [...]

I figured out a little trick to save some cash when buying things like domain names, hosting, printing, dinner plates, etc on the internet and wanted to share it. Any time you buy something online and see a coupon code input field when you are checking out, make sure you do a Google search [...]
