BlogTimes for pMachine

I’ve noticed many blogs that use Moveable Type are using a plug-in called BlogTimes. It allows the blogger to create a chart which plots the time of your posts within a 1 month period on a bar. The bar within the chart is spread out over 24 hours and shows you when you post most often. The plug-in is written in Perl and only works with Moveable Type.
I use pMachine on my blog, and I wanted to use this as well. So I decided to rewrite BlogTimes in PHP for use with pMachine. I started yesterday, and have a working rough draft. You can see it on the bottom of the home page. It’s still in early stages, but is just as functional as the original BlogTimes. I’ve also written it to accept argument variables to display specific months. I’m still polishing it up and will release it soon. I actually don’t know what it could be used for exactly other than to let others know when you post the most so they can get in when the stories are fresh. Who knows. Someone will come up with a decent idea for them.
In case you use the b2 blogging system, there is also a BlogTimes written in PHP for it.
