Well, today was all or mostly WordPress, even though I started with doing some changes on a site of one of my customers. So not really sure what’s inspiring or how to write an inspiring post. Or maybe I do, because I think I am quite on the way now with my simple e-mail plugin for WordPress as I think it can be used now by anybody even though there are still some issues to fix and improve.
And again, I know these things take time, a lot of time to figure it out, like a child learning to ride a bicycle. And I was actually amazed there are not many people publishing plugins on the WordPress site, but I’m starting to understand now as it takes quite some knowledge and some persistence to make it work, to publish according to the rules and make it all work. And I won’t bother you with the details as most is technical, but you do need to know quite a bit of ‘everything programming’ to make it work, to publish a plugin on the WordPress site, like first you need to know how to write code. Then you need to think how the code for your own site, like in this case the code I wrote to send the daily quote, could also be usable for someone else. Then you need to pass the quite strict rules of publishing on the WordPress site and then you need to figure out how the version system works and how it all ends up properly in the plugins page.
Anyhow, I kind of made it and you can see the result on the page simple e-mail plugin for WordPress and as far as I know now you can just download it, install it in your WordPress site and it should work. It did not before though as there were still some errors I didn’t encounter locally.
Next to this I was trying to help a friend with two WordPress installations: Maladaw and Mama Rosa. Not sure where it goes, but I’ll do my best to help her to get where she wants with those sites.
