practicing habitual skills
I believe you always need to strive for improvement. Sometimes you make mistakes along the way …
If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not trying hard enough
Vince Lombardi, football coach
… which is followed by:
Do … or do not. There is no try.
Yoda, Jedi master
To succeed at reaching your goals you cannot stop until you reach them … then you set higher goals.
I will be delivering a brief overview at the WordPress Toronto April 2010 Meetup on how I recently created a plugin. This will be the first presentation made for the Meetup group; and, as part of the ongoing agenda ideas, the WordPress theme for this meeting.
The plugin, BNS Category Plus, was created for the HCAS Volunteers group and may be publicly available in the near future. The concept extends the default Categories plugin to allow additional options. The overview will cover some design ideas and programming tips on how this and other plugins can be quickly created to fill a niche. I will also talk about the tools and resources I use to write and research plugin code.
The slides from the presentation are available as a PDF here: [download id=”1″]
A link to the BNS Category Plus code will be provided once it is publicly released; meeting attendees are also welcome to contact me for a copy of the BNS Category Plus code before its release.
Getting your head into the game is only the beginning; being on the same field as the rest of the team is the real key.
The Toronto WordPress Meetup Group‘s next meeting is set for April 17, 2010 at 2:00PM. This meeting’s venue will be Paupers Pub at 539 Bloor Street West, just east of Bathurst Street.
This will be another socially oriented meeting as the group continues to work on future themes, agendas, and presentations by WPToronto members … and other interesting people.
Come to the meeting and get to know some interesting people talking about WordPress and other related ideas … I’ll be there!
My wife and I have been keeping fancy pet rats for several years now. They are very intelligent, affectionate little animals and a constant joy in our lives. To celebrate World Rat Day these last few years, I create a unique graphic to share with all other rat fanciers. This year, due to unforseen circumstances, I was not able to create this graphic until this morning:
As World Rat Day 2010 also falls on the same day as Easter Sunday I chose to incorporate the elusive Easter Rat and some pastel colors into the design.
Happy Easter … and Enjoy!
