The next Cricket Moods…

… will not be called “Cricket Moods.”

I always wanted the plugin to be something for more than just moods. Sure, you can set it up to let your readers know how the weather was on that day or gauge of how bad the traffic was on the way home from work, but you could only do one or the other. You should be able to do all three: moods, weather, and traffic!

Therefore, I have decided to refactor Cricket Moods into a new plugin. I have decided on the name PostBits. Each selectable option, like a mood (”Happy”) or a weather (”Overcast”), will be called a Bit. Bits can then be sorted into categories, like Moods or Current Weather. Each category can be set to independently AutoPrint, and can have independent HTML wrappings.

At the moment, I have about a third of the work done. The core functionality of installing the plugin and printing Bits is very nearly complete. It’s currently missing a UI and the UI logic. Once it’s done, it should be pretty powerful and, hopefully, easy to use.

Hummina, hummina, hummina!
