Program or Not to Program
I think that I may take a little time from Novel writing to work on a program.
Ward had an idea and wanted me to work on it. I am very tempted to try. The program would automatically direct missing images to the correct one. Images are lost when people change web hosts or reinstall WordPress. The link to an image points to the wrong location. This has happened to me a number of times.
A WordPress plugin is not a good solution because the html link is outside of WordPress’s purview. It would have to be standalone. That is not to say that I could not make a plugin to configure the program and run some of the functionality.
Ward and I kicked around some ideas for making it work. I think it is quite possible, and I could make a little money on it. If Ward never did any work, then I will see what I can do.
Currently, I am a copy and paste sort of programmer. My mind is not so clear that I can just put my head down and code. I think that’s OK. I will not be trying to do anything extraordinary. I think, though, that it will be novel enough to be useful.
