With all due respect to both past and future inter­views, I con­sider this one to be my most impor­tant. With this inter­view, I am hold­ing up a mir­ror to your pasts. When you look into this mir­ror, you do not see your­self, you see Alex Cook. “What do you mean” you say? Alex is fresh out of Uni­ver­sity, and at the start of her path to her career.

What would be your sug­gested apps for a Motorola Droid? I’m look­ing for gen­eral use, pro­duc­tiv­ity in life, and web design/development in spe­cific if pos­si­ble. Let me know of your sug­ges­tions! I appre­ci­ate the help.

Hello!

I really REALLY am enjoy­ing this pur­chase. How­ever that’s all for now

I real­ized that I will likely ref­er­ence many twit­ter peo­ple in posts and I think it is com­mon cour­tesy to link to their pro­file so that you can go check them out if you want. How­ever, I also want to be lazy and not have to type out their full twit­ter url all the time. Thus I decided that a short­code would be nice and efficient.

With the fol­low­ing code,


<?php
function twitter_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
return '<a href="http://twitter.com/' . $content . '" title="' . $content . '\'s Twitter Profile">' . $content . '</a>';
}
add_shortcode('twitter', 'twitter_shortcode');
?>


I can wrap a user­name in [twit­ter] [/twitter] and have it out­put the full link, like this tw2113 (Twit­ter)

Edit

I have since real­ized that this is per­fectly capa­ble of work­ing with identi.ca as well. For word­press users of Identi.ca, copy/paste the fol­low­ing code into your functions.php file. It will work the exact same way regard­ing wrap­ping the user ID


<?php
function identica_shortcode( $atts, $content = null ) {
return '<a href="http://identi.ca/' . $content . '" title="' . $content . '\'s Identi.ca Profile">' . $content . '</a>';
}
add_shortcode('identica', 'identica_shortcode');
?>


Like so: tw2113 (Identi.ca)

Yes, I feel cool for using this graphic this round.
