Easy MailChimp Integration

I just released the updated version of my MailChimp WordPress plugin,  Easy MailChimp Integration!

With Easy MailChimp Integration, you can seamlessly integrate your MailChimp account in to WordPress. All you need is your MailChimp account’s API key and a list id.

Once the setup is complete you can use a widget or a shortcode to put the forms on your posts and pages or use it in your custom templates with a php snippet.

If you notice any issues, please submit a bug to the Github Issue Tracker and I’ll look in to it as soon as possible.

This is a continuation of the YIKES, Inc. Easy MailChimp Extender plugin.

What’s With The Lack Of Updates?

Yeah — sorry about that. Things have been pretty crazy around here lately. I’m not complaining though, I’ve been working on two rather large projects and having an excellent time doing so.

When I get a bit more time, I’ll put some information about them up here. If all goes well, one of them should be going live on Monday. Once it does, it’ll be the largest site that I’ve ever built from the ground up. So large in fact, that I had to work with a contractor for the last 8 months to get everything up to this point.

Here’s something to pique your interest in the meantime; I’ve just developed a new website for the folks over at Digital Embyro. Feel free to take a look at the portfolio entry for it. It’s a completely custom WordPress 3 install. First time I used child themes, too (awesome, by the way).

Anyway, stay tuned for my next update — I promise you’ll like it!

WordCamp Philly, Here I Come!

WordCamp Philly is coming up faster than I thought it would — it’s right around the corner now. I’m all registered and can’t wait to fill my head with all of that delicious WordPress information. I’m also really looking forward to all of the speakers this year including my friends Sean Blanda (one of the three co-founders of Techically Philly) and Reed Gustow. Are you going?

Adventuring in the Lands of Plugin Development

I was tasked recently with creating a WordPress plugin for the Philadelphia Sports Network. They needed a plugin created to allow Team Leaders to send email blasts from the frontend of the website without having to login. The Team Leader would put in his or her email address, the Team they were representing and a comma delimited list of emails that would receive the email blast. The content of the email would all be configured from the admin section.

This posed a little bit of a problem. I wasn’t exactly comfortable allowing everyone who visited that specific page to be able to send email blasts just by claiming that they were a Team Leader. Sometimes, though, you need to just do exactly what he client wants. With that in mind, I did my best to protect the form while working with the requirements I was given. What Did You Do?
