Plugin: My Snippets

This could be interesting.  It feels a little clunky, but I think the over all use would be way cool.

My Snippets

One of my favorite plugins has always been Widget Logic, which allows you to display/hide widgets based on context. The biggest limitation of that plugin to me is that I had to go to my Widgets screen in my WordPress admin every time I wanted to add a new widget for a single post or page.

I’ve been slowly turning into a WordPress fanboy – and now I think I have finally turn the corner to full-flegde-dom.  I built my first plugin.  OK, I made a couple little ones first, but this is the first REAL one.

It allows the WordPress admin to add a flash mini-document from a site called Issuu.  (Issuu is very cool if you have not heard of it before…create very nice looking flash presentations from many different document formats.)

You install the plugin and then just copy and paste the embed code from the site to your WordPress sidebar.  Boo-ya, you get a mini-Issuu viewer for your site.

I leveraged a very well done How to located over at guffszub.net – called My Widget example.

So bop over to my WordPress plugin page and check it out.
