Another pinning test

Valerie — Wed, 30 Jan 2013 18:28:57 +0000

This is one of the pins on my nephew’s wife’s pinterest board. Boy, do I wish I had a book club like hers!

Anyway, I needed another pin to see if my plugin works properly. I had a nightmare last night that there was something we weren’t considering.

Easy Pinterest in WordPress

Pinterest is all the rage these days. And it makes for some great photo content for your blog. But, if you’ve ever worked with the Pinterest embed code, which you are required to use, you’ve found that it doesn’t play well with the WordPress editor. Just try to float those images right or left… It’s not gonna happen. I actually thought it was operator error on the part of a client until I tried to do it myself. Oy vey! And I couldn’t find a plugin to help.

If you have been asking yourself, “What is the best way to put Pinterest embed code in WordPress?” This plugin is for you!

But the solution is at hand. Working with one of my favorite contractors we (and by ‘we’ I mean ‘he’!) developed a simple plugin that lets you pop the Pinterest embed code into a meta field, tell it whether you want the image aligned left, right, or center, and it returns a shortcode which you can use in your website.

Socialism

Socialism in general has a record of failure so blatant that only an intellectual could ignore or evade it.

Fairness

Since this is an era when many people are concerned about ‘fairness’ and ‘social justice,’ what is your ‘fair share’ of what someone else has worked for?

Understanding Politics

No one will really understand politics until they understand that politicians are not trying to solve our problems. They are trying to solve their own problems – of which getting elected and re-elected are number one and number two. Whatever is number three is far behind.

On Congress

It is hard to imagine a more stupid way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
