These are slides to accompany an 8 minute ‘Lightning Talk’ for the dev8D conference in London, 24-27th February 2010.

12. These are slides to accompany an 8 minute ‘Lightning Talk’ for the dev8D conference
in London, 24-27th February 2010. Each slide is a link to a blog post I have writen on
ways to use WordPress and WordPress Mult User, that are not about blogging.

13. This is a blog post about various plugins that can extend the semantc metadata on a
WordPress site.
2

14. This is a blog post about the variety of feeds available on a WordPress site.

15. This is a blog post about OPACPress, a project proposal to use WordPress MU as a
library catalogue platorm. It’s WordPress.com on its head, because it’s taking a
relatvely small number of sites (<100) and populatng them with up to 1m
records/blog posts. WordPress.com has millions of sites, each with relatvely few blog
posts.
4

16. This is a blog post about BuddyPress, a set of plugins that turn WordPress into a social
network.
5

17. This is a blog post about using WordPress to author academic artcles, with
supportng metadata.
6

18. This is a blog post about aggregatng records from Insttutonal Repositories into
WordPress to provide a ‘social’ front-end to repository content, where people can
discuss the papers. I like Tony’s idea about using it to curate journals from freely
available repo content.
7

19. This is a blog post about HookPress, a plugin that integrates web hooks into
WordPress, for real-tme actons and notfcatons. It also links to other posts I’ve
made about how XMPP, SUP, RSSCloud and PubSubHubbub are all easily integrated
through the use of plugins.

20. This is a blog post about using WordPress to publish course content, again tying it in
with source material held in an Insttutonal Repository. I also use the site to syndicate
to iTunes.
9

21. This is a blog post about our work on WriteToReply and JISCPress. The ttle is mean to
be ironic, as it’s using WordPress as a document publishing platorm for detailed
comment, annotaton and deliberaton.
