Plugin / Blipper Widget
Caity Ross
Description
Description
Displays the latest entry on Blipfoto by a given user in a widget on your WordPress website. Note: you must have an account with Blipfoto to use this widget. If you don’t have one, you can get one for free.
Currently, Blipper Widget:
- displays the latest blip (image, title and date) in your Blipfoto account in a widget;
- takes you to the corresponding blip on the Blipfoto website if you click on the image or its title and date (optional; off by default);
- displays your journal name and a link to your Blipfoto account (optional; off by default); and
- displays a link to the Blipfoto website (optional; off by default).
The image in the blip is not stored on your server: the widget links to the image on Blipfoto.

If you’d like to see the plugin in action, you can visit my WordPress site to see Blipper Widget showing my latest blip.
If you’d like to see the plugin code, it’s available on GitHub.
Languages
Currently, only English is supported. I’m afraid I don’t yet know how to make other languages available. If you’d like to help, let me know in the comments on my Blipper Plugin page.

Credits
This plug-in is loosely based on BlipPress by Simon Blackbourne. I very much appreciate having his work to guide me with the use of the Blipfoto API.
I also used the excellent Rotating Tweets plugin to guide me with how to implement the settings page and the widget back-end.
In addition, I used WP-Spamshield as a model of how to implement uninstallation code.
