Just noting some small details to add to the You Show Daily site, where we are trying a series of daily creative challenges related to the purposes of the open seminar.
Now a nice grid showing all of the responses together
People respond to a challenge by sending a tweet to @youshow15 with a hash tag that corresponds to each challenge. The site harvests the tweets that are replies to this account; internally each is stored as a WordPress Custom Post type called a “response”. Therefore, I can (and did) develop custom template archive-response.php
called when a request is made to show all responses.
This is a modification of the theme’s default archive.php
, made to find the URL for the tweet (stored as post meta data) and the wordpress function to issue an embed of the tweet.
It’s the little things.
