Improvements to wow-armory plugin + Linkbacks + Styles

Friday, February 27th, 2009

I’ve made some improvements to the wow-armory plugin:

Talents: You can now display your talent build. This option can be disabled per widget. You will see a link to your Talent in the Armory, displayed as “X / Y / Z”, where X, Y, and Z are the points spent in your First, second and third tree respectively. I’m not sure if the Armory will change to show your Dual-specs after patch 3.1, but I can change this if it does. Also, you’ll see the icon for your spec – if you have more talents in “Beast Mastery”, for example, you’ll see that icon.

Linkbacks: I have added an option to display a link back to my site. I debated for awhile how I can help get the word out on my addons, and this was, I believe, the best solution. This is completely optional, and it should default to “No”, so no one will show any links unless they choose to enable the option. Both the wow-armory and wow-guild plugin have this feature. You can turn on the linkbacks on a per-widget basis, or within shortcodes using linkback="1"

The link looks like this: powered_by

Shortcodes: You can use the shortcode:

Character portrait
of -US or EU
Level

You must have at least the char, realm, and realmtype specified.

Updated Pages + Poll

Friday, February 13th, 2009

Whew! I did a little cleaning up on the site today – nothing major – I just moved both of my Plugin Pages to a be children of the “Wordpess Plugins” page you see above. Also, I finished adding some content to the wow-guild page, so that it’s more in line with the other page.

Rebuild

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

Yes, I know that I haven’t posted anything worthwhile in a long time… I’ve been busy.

I fully intend to start adding some relevent posts sometime in the near future.  In an effort to give me  a little push in that direction, I’ve changed themes, cleaned up some of the existing content, and tried to make things a little nicer around here.

Hopefully, I’ll be able to keep up with posting again…

Update, Part 2

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

Well, taking my last post into consideration, I decided to do some major housekeeping around here.

I removed all posts pertaining to the TARGEngine, and removed several other posts that were no longer relevant to anything, or were just me whining about whatever.  All told, I ended up disabling 45 posts.  I also spent a great deal of time reorganizing my categories.  I think there’s still a lot of work left to do to make them really work the way I would like, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Space Game Cards

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Here’s all of the game’s card types that I’ve made up in Photoshop. None of the illustrations are shown, except the Planet one (because I didn’t think anyone would understand how I intended it to look).

Space Game Update

Sunday, September 7th, 2008

So, it only took me about a day to finish writing down my plans for my Space Game – although, I do want to proofread, re-read, and triple check everything to make sure it sounds good, and I still need to make some more mock-ups for the other cards.  I really like  how it all turned out.  It just seemed to flow together effortlessly, and I’m really happy with it.  So, here are a few of the mock-up cards I made for it:

I know it’s never going to happen, but…

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

So, as you might remember from this post, I can’t help myself from thinking up elaborate plans for things that I somehow know are never going to happen… well, I had some inspiration last night, while I was lying awake, trying to fall asleep…
