myStatus plugin for WordPress // eightface
Remember the “status page” post? Well our pal, Dave Kellam, has whipped a sweet little WordPress plugin that makes it really easy to bullet out some points right on your page:
This plugin allows you to create a number of fields specifying your current status and easily insert them into your templates…
You’re welcome to leave comments and suggestions, but be warned, I’ll probably try to keep things fairly simple.
I agree with Dave. I like it nice and simple.
Dave’s status page is fun, and here’s the first cut of mine. (Yeah, I know. Super-helpful, Merlin. Well, shut up, it’s Friday.)

With some able advice from Dave and Ethan I’ve added a more blown-out status page, which includes quick documentation on how to make your own. Fly your freak flag, Nerdlinger!

If anyone is interested in...
If anyone is interested in a plugin for Movable Type that can be used in the creation of a status page, you may want to check out the Custom Fields plugin. The plugin not only allows a user to add custom fields to entry pages, but you are able to add custom fields to the author profiles. By adding custom fields to the author profiles, you can easily add and edit user “status” information.
I have implemented this plugin on my new (not yet public) site, and it is just what I was looking for in a plugin: simple installation, simple setup of fields, and simple editing capabilities.
