Recently at work I have been working on a new website, http://magazine.missouristate.edu. It wasn’t until recently that it was finished and became live. As part of the transfer from development to in the wild the department I work in made a couple of posts on our blog regarding my projects. This one is about the magazine.missouristate.edu website and what it is meant to do. There was a lot of behind the scenes custom code on these pages because they do things in such a non standard way.
The second post is in regards to a plugin and a widget I made. The plugin allows you to insert a few media elements into your post and can provide custom CSS styling for the inserted media. On the magazine.missouristate.edu site some custom styles are applied, but we also implemented this plugin on the main wordpress blogs. They have no custom styling enabled. I have been developing a version for myself to release to the public with a few extra nifty features, but I’m not sure if there is really a demand. I might create it anyway and see where it goes. It can insert YouTube videos with custom height/width (not possible with using just the link in a wordpress post, to my knowledge), Flickr Slideshows (based of sets), mp3 files (via direct url), and mp4 files (via direct url). If anyone is interested in a plugin in that does this kind of stuff, just let me know and I can develop it.
