So this post will serve a dual purpose. One is about the assignment we were given, the other is a general update as to what’s happening on this here blog. First comes the assignment.
We are to make a Flickr account, follow @DailyShoot on Twitter, and complete the tasks tweeted to us for the next four days. Also we have to integrate some sort of Flickr plugin on our sites. Since I already had a Flickr account, I just started completing the Daily Shoot tasks, which you can see below (links to Flickr page)
So as to what’s going on here at the site? Well, quite a bit! First off, I’d like to thank everyone who’s commented on all my posts, though especially the comments about ideas pertaining to this upcoming LOST-themed project I’m doing. All of your texts, comments, and audible conversations have been great! I think I know what I’m going to be mainly doing for this project, though I’m still working out the kinks in the story (can’t reveal too much, this is LOST, after all!)
Speaking of LOST, you can subscribe to our weekly LOST podcast using whatever application you want from the RSS here. Alternatively if you have iTunes, you can simply subscribe to our podcast by clicking here (then ‘Subscribe’, of course). Thanks for the support, guys, and for taking this crazy ride with us through this final season of this great show! Of course, if you missed this last week’s episode check it out here.
Also you may notice the sidebar not only has a Twitter feed, but also my Flickr RSS showing a few of my latest photos. In other plugin news, I would urge ALL of you who haven’t already done so to go check out the plugin WPtouch from Brave New Code! It’s a great, easy-to-use plugin that turns your website/blog into a portable theme. Basically how it works is it recognizes if the viewer is accessing your page on a handheld device (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc) and if so, it shows a version of your site specially made for faster portable use. It shows your stories in an iPod-like fashion and even allows the reader to comment on or tweet your articles, email them, or even message you right from their device. And the best thing is: it’s super easy to customize! You can change the themes, decide what shows up, and more. If you can’t tell, I like it and highly suggest it to everyone.
As always, more to come!
Happy Trails and Namaste,
Sam.
