My first Wordpress plugin is alive!!!

It is called WP-SimplestSlideShow, and it enables you to insert a simple jquery-based slideshow anywhere in your theme.

Description

WP-SimplestSlideShow is a simple slide show based on jQuery.

It enables the user to insert a simple slide show anywhere in their theme. The HTML markup is pretty bare with only the necessary tags to make it work. That gives the user flexibility to style it further, if one so desires. The functionality of the plugin is also very simple, but it requires a minimum amount of settings to work properly. If you complete all fields in the plugin options’ page with correct values, nothing will go wrong. Users will also have the option to choose if their images will have links or not.

What makes this plugin stand out of already released slide show plugins is that it implements and renders the slide show in a much simpler manner… It can be limiting for some, so I recommend WP-SimplestSlideShow only for those wanting to have an easy to administrate plugin with minimal HTML markup — that will validate as well!

WP-SimplestSlideShow was initially designed for a personal project, but after extensive testing I decided that it was stable enough to be released for the public.

I’m really happy to announce that an old dream of migrating my digital home – Dreamyguy.com – to Wordpress has been fullfilled!

One may wonder what is the big deal to get a Wordpress blog up and running. Truth to be told, it’s not that difficult. But as a web designer having that used to have an intense full-time job (web designer of an online store), there aren’t many braincells left to be creative at home, after working hours…

So on the last two days of my Easter break I made a master plan to finally do what I wanted: create a very personal website with all the best ingredients in my kitchen and expose myself as a competent professional within my trade: web design and graphic design.

However, I thought of doing it in a very personal way, exposing my personal opinions on things related to my work and on whatever else it feels like. I do have a lot to share, people and things that inspire me, environment, cool stuff, odd stuff – and what not! So enjoy your ride and feel free to make comments, suggest stuff or drop me a couple of lines.

Cheers,
Wallace
