WP-Sightings Preview

So as you might have noticed, I have a little embedded lifestream on the left hand side of my blog here. It’s still just a mock up, sadly, and doesn’t pull live data. I’m working on changing that, though. Initially I was just going to slap some code together in my usual half assed fashion just to get something working, but I’ve instead decided to try my hand at making a WordPress plugin. So far it’s been surprisingly simple- WP has a fairly idiot proof API.

As of last night I finished the draft module architecture and administration UI, and will be working on the actual data pulling and scraping system today.

Here’s some screenshots of the backend, for those curious:
