I am happy to announce the release of a new plugin today: µMint. Like my other µ plugins, it’s a small, lightweight plugin to (hopefully) do something useful. In this case, µMint allows you to painlessly integrate Shaun Inman’s Mint into Wordpress. Unlike the currently existent solution, µMint does not make use of iframes. Instead, µMint is designed to work with both the Exposé API, by Adam Livesley as well as the included API, µAPI for Mint. Furthermore, there is a development version of a connector whcih allows Wordpress to directly query Mint, when the two share a database.

µAPI does more than just get your stats, it displays them for you. You can have your choice of a sidebar widget, a dashboard widget, or both. And, in the µ plugin philosophy, stats are cached periodically to reduce the number of API calls required.

I think that µAPI neatly bridges the gap between Mint and Wordpress, and I hope you’ll give it a try.
