This is only still on Blogger because I'm too lazy to move it
How to write a simple WP plugin. Because I'll lose the link *and* the thinking if I don't write it down. Plugins I want to write:
  • A nice simple one that will replace instances of words (e.g. eBay) with affiliate links.
  • A horrible complicated thing that will allow WP posts to sell things: with PayPal buy it now buttons, and a stock control list so you can't sell the same item twice.
  • The comments thing I promised Lynne today which will have comment previewing *and* editing, and BBCode in comments. And infinitely extensible extra fields (I want it for eBay Shop vs. website, but why not let people do whatever they want with it.)
  • [I will do this one first] A very simple thing to turn tags to lower case, seeing as with three authors on TB, we seem to be incapable of adopting any kind of standard :-D Will then amend this so that "eBay" is spelt like that.
  • Something for the posting console so that we can input a URL and have a properly-formatted eBay affiliate link output.
  • Something that will add (maybe to the post metadata) a link to guest posters' own websites.
Will edit list when have more wild ideas.
