  • I’m not a programmer, I’m more of a “hack away at something and make it work” type of guy.

      I am much the same.
  • The homepage is a WordPress loop

      what is a wordpress loop?
  • static content blocks
    • Terry Elliott

      How do I do these?
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • schedule these assignments to automatically post

      I have done these before.
  • Twitter Tools fires off a tweet to the TDC Twitter account.

      Twitter tools is a plug-in?  would need a dedicated Twitter account.
  • Flickr

      Need a clmooc flickr account if we want to do photographic creates.
  • a plugin called Awesome Flickr Gallery
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Need this plug-in.
  • You can create multiple galleries, restrict them to a specific tag, and control how they display.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      fine grained controls, cool.
  • Each assignment gets its own gallery which gets put into the post as a shortcode.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      I assume the plug-in generates the gallery and the short code.  this looks like a manual operation here.
  • Alan figured out how to link back to the original Flickr photo
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Would want this kind of function as well.
  • decided to use SoundCloud
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Need a Sound Cloud account
  • simple widget for groups that we’re using on The Daily Create
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Need the widget.
  • SoundCloud is very restrictive with free accounts and very expensive for paid features. Free users only get 120 minutes of audio total and can only create 1 group. This means I have to find folks to create these groups for each assignment
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Serious sticking point here.  Need to look at alternatives.
  • YouTube was an obvious choice since so many people already use it and I just needed to find the best way to visualize a tag. The answer to that was TubePress with allows you to build shortcodes with TONS of options.
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      TubePress plug-in will do it as long as YouTube doesn't start costing money.
  • it takes awhile to feed in
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Drawback with vimeo or youtube not a deal breaker.
  • allowing folks to submit suggestions for new assignments
  • Gravity Forms
    • Terry Elliott
      Terry Elliott on 15 May 13
       
      Yes, this works great.
  • allows us to create a form whose submission automatically creates a new post in draft. The user assigns it a category. All we have to do is decide when it should be published, add the widget/shortcode for visualizing it, and give it a tag. The more submissions we get the more posts will be scheduled in advance and there’s very little turnaround work for us.

      This sounds complicated but it is probably just a matter of screwing up a bunch of times and then fixing it.

  • Why Write?
    • Kevin Hodgson
      Kevin Hodgson on 04 Aug 13
       
      This question is at the heart of why I online. I write for many reasons. Most of all, I write to understand the world.

      There's a term, eh? Oh, how we love to misuse things. As an aside, this could also be known as "hacking" the purpose, so there is a positive side to this. It's all about power, though, and who has it and who doesn't.
  • I discovered joy in composing as I played with digital media.

      Work, yet, but play, too.

      I think you have managed to turn it into play because of your morning disciplines, Kevin, but for many it is work. I go back and forth myself.

      Agreed and a great way to wrap up your post.

      And share your writing and your process towards writing with your students. Show the messy work that leads to the final writing.
