I’m releasing the first of what I hope are many plugins for Wordpress. All of the details are at the new “WP Plugins” page here at wooliet.
If you’re reading this on the wooliet main page (with multiple posts listed), you can see it in action by clicking the link below. If the is the “single post page” display then..well….there’s nothing to see! Just go to Wooliet and find an entry with a link to more content.
(Updated with official WP plugin link)
I added an archive page to the site. Unfortunately, I’m out of time and energy and so will have to put off actually linking to it as part of….how do you say….site navigation.
Until then, here’s one way to get there from here: LINK.
I finally reached a point in developing my own theme where I felt I could go ahead and put it to use. There’s still bunches of work that needs to be done. The most glaring is the lack of any sort of navigation or menu. I don’t, however, think it’s an absolute necessity at the moment. Ultimately I’d like it to be along the bottom of the header, and contain dropdown menus for browsing old posts by date and by “category”. Sooner or later it’ll happen. Along with everything else that needs to be done. But hey, you can read this can’t you?! Shouldn’t that be enough?!
Despite the quality (or lack thereof), it is a much better feeling knowing that it’s all mine, and not some twiddled version of somebody else’s work. There is the sense of accomplishment and satisfaction at having created something of your own that you just can’t get by dropping in a theme yanked from the internets.
So look for revisions and updates and new items to the right from time to time. Before you know it, we’ll be at version 1.0!
I spent too much time trying to tinker with the theme to make this space feel more like…mine. At some point you’ve got to start doing instead of preparing. I expect that the content will be fairly varied. I like the quick hits with brief comments (e.g. Waxy) and the slightly longer “links with thoughts” (e.g. Kottke). Beyond sharing links, I hope to also make the occasionally helpful post (you know…actual original content). When I’ve struggled with something and then found the solution, I plan to share it. Adding solutions for the great google spider to eat seems like a pretty nice thing to do.
So, on we go.
