Calling out BP and all other ocean drillers… put out or shut down!

The front page of ABC News loaded and it was a flash. It just rose up, a surge inside of me. I AM PISSED. M’kay? Pissed.

These fat cats (oil companies) have millions of dollars to lobby congress, have millions of dollars to buy off our (the peoples’) elected officials, millions of dollars for insane executive salaries, and they show profits in the billions every year. When is the last time you heard of an oil company taking a loss? Seriously? And people, THAT’S AFTER THEY STACKED THE BOOKS in the most advantageous way possible, to make it look like they didn’t make as much money as they did — because that’s what every business does, so they don’t have to pay a penny more taxes than they absolutely have to.

But apparently they don’t have enough money to install a damn shut-off valve. You know, like you have in your basement? Under your sinks? BEHIND YOUR TOILET? Yes, turns out our toilets are better executed than the damn oil wells.

‘Featured Link’ plugin = Custom Style?

After zero suggestions here, on Facebook & via Twitter, I had to go back to the drawing board on this one.

I decided the best way to handle it is probably going to be through some wonky custom style. I think a child theme (page) might be too much… maybe… I still can’t figure out how to make the ‘style’ pull the first 150 characters & a thumbnail image from the source page though. See, ‘cuz I’m not a coder. I’m the idea person, I’m not the doer person.

Help! Need a FB-like ‘Share Link’ plugin for WP

Posted by Karin on May 3, 2010 in Wordpress | 0 comments

If Facebook can do it, WordPress can do it, right? Totally my line of thinking. :)

There are times I’d like to share/feature an article or page on another website, similar to how Facebook does it:

There must be a way to do this in WordPress without having to re-type and custom-style and what-not… where you type in the URL and it auto-generates this pretty little content preview?

I don’t want to steal content. I want people to get credit for their work. I’d like to share their work with others to show off what a great job they’ve done, and that readers should click-through and read the other site.

There must be a WP plugin out there that does this. Anybody? Anybody? …… Bueller??

Thanks for your ideas! ##
