Before today, the last time I truly coded something was back in 10th grade, and I wrote a Sierpinski Carpet program on my high-end Casio calculator. The kind-of-sad-but-cool thing is, I had a lot of fun. So much nerdtastic fun. But today, I totally kicked 10th-grade-me’s fat ass by writing an unstoppable Journey plug-in based on WordPress’ Hello Dolly plug-in. Wordpress users, start your rawk engines.
Any way you want it, that’s the way you need it! The Rock Ballad is a helluva drug, and this plug-in reminds you the overwhelming power of song, mullets, and a particular tiny leopard-print yellow muscle tee. Let Journey’s lyrics drown you with a deluge of 80’s anthem awesomeness and send you awash in a sea of lighter-waving electrolytes. Let us sing high and mighty, for our diaphragms should be pushed up into our lungs! Inspired by the Hello Dolly plug-in, when Don’t Stop Believing is activated, you will see a line of lyrics from random Journey’s classic hits in the upper right of your admin screen on every page.
You can download Don’t Stop Believing Wordpress plug-in by clicking this sentence or on Steve below.
This is one of those things that, although I never thought I wanted or needed it, I’m not sure how I could ever live without it.
Response to your comment, crossposted in case you don’t see it:
The Blurb software (called BookSmart) is “user-friendly” which means it’s easy for anybody to throw in photos into pre-designed templates and make a book if they aren’t finicky about designing their pages just the way they want to. Interface is pretty straightforward.
Compared to the competition, Blurb has a ton of templates, but I found that conforming to the fixed image and text boxes was too limiting. Especially for creative people like yourself, you’ll definitely want to design all your pages in Photoshop and import into BookSmart.
You might know that Apple offers a similar book printing service. Blurb uses the same printers Apple does and is cheaper. I had seen those Apple-printed books before and they looked pretty good, so I was comfortable trying out Blurb.
OMG KAREN YOU RAWK.
Now… how do I add it to my tumblr?
