The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.3.2 has been officially released.
This update fixes an issue with internationalization that caused tweeting to fail when using many accented letters and other extended characters.

The last word and phrase pages have been added to the Glyph Project as part of a
weekly update schedule begun 2 days short of a year ago. Vocabulary imports were generated from the database of
Hierowords 3.4.7. The number of pages imported is almost 6000, but this number should decrease as some few duplicate word pages are merged, and the contents of some trite phrase pages are deleted or moved to appropriate word pages.
An effort will now be begun to improve and expand word pages using available reference materials. Text translation will hasten as well now that the dictionary is relatively thorough. This will further help the word pages by providing example texts in which words and phrases can be found.
Further work to be undertaken is to create glyph pages, and expand the
sign list to reflect
improvements that have been made to the glyph rendering engine's library of glyphs.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.3 has been officially released.
This update implements the use of
OAuth for plugin authentication with Twitter. Since the authentication method has changed, users will need to reauthorize the plug-in to post tweets to their accounts. Please refer to the documentation on the plug-in page for procedures.

One issue that has consistently come up while importing words into the
Glyph Project, is that glyphs didn't exist in the system for some signs in over 10% of the word pages.
Now, with the help of
JSesh, an open-source hieroglyph word processor, I was able to create a program (utilizing JSesh's formative API), to generate the images I needed for thousands of glyphs, and include them in the
WikiHiero extension that serves up glyphs on the GlyphProject wiki.
Work is currently underway to recategorize pages that had previously been marked as missing glyphs, but no longer have glyphs missing.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.2 has been officially released.
This update enables the use of extended character sets in tweets. As this is the first upgrade of The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus, enhancements have been made to the installation process to facilitate upgrades. There is now a new plugin option allowing the plugin to be safely updated with uninstalling and reinstalling and risking the loss of important settings.

Work has progressed to generate the import files for
The Glyph Project vocabulary and I've uploaded 100 vocabulary pages and refined the process a bit. Work is expected to progress much more noticeably as 100 word and phrase pages are added every week and reviewed.
Eventually, import files for many of the glyphs will also be generated.
Work continues transcribing texts.

The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus 0.1 has been officially released.
The Shtick Auto-Twitter for
Nucleus is a plugin designed for Nucleus CMS to enable automatic tweeting (messaging using the
Twitter service) to announce when a user has posted a new blog item or even made a comment. (Tweets are posted to the Twitter account of the user who performed the action.)
In connection with this initial release
a page has been created on the Nucleus wiki to make the plugin available to the Nucleus using public, where one can find the current wish list of features that are planned to be incorporated into the next version of the tool.
The Shtick Auto-Twitter for Nucleus is written in PHP, and is provided free to the public.
