BitFreedom http://bitfreedom.com Somebody set us up the blog! Thu, 30 Oct 2008 15:08:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.5 en Post your LinkedIn résumé on your blog http://bitfreedom.com/linkedin-hresume/ http://bitfreedom.com/linkedin-hresume/#comments Fri, 27 Jun 2008 20:39:43 +0000 Angelo http://bitfreedom.com/?p=22 This plugin is an update of the plugin at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/linkedin-hresume/ originally written by Brad Touesnard. I made these modifications so that it could be used with WPMU. This version doesn’t require you to edit the plugin file therefore can be used for multiple resume/CVs. It allows you to import and post your résumé from LinkedIn easily in 3 steps:

  1. Set your public profile to include all your resume information. (Remember the URL for your public profile.)
  2. Upload the plugin to the plugins/ or mu-plugins/ directory
  3. Create a page and include your URL in the following format: <!–hResume:First Last;http://linkedin/url/to/profile/ –>
(For example, <!--hResume:Angelo Bertolli;http://www.linkedin.com/in/bertolli -->)

Yes, this plugin works on both WPMU and WordPress!

Note to BitFreedom users:

This plugin is already installed and available on your blog.  Simply set up your public LinkedIn profile and use the format

<!--hResume:First Last;http://linkedin/url/to/profile/ -->

Of course you do. So you really need to know about this addon/plugin: ScribeFire.

Scribefire is a tool that allows you to post to your blog quickly and easily directly from an interface within Firefox, while browsing other sites. Scribefire works with the blogs here at BitFreedom, and is my recommended desktop composer. And best of all, since it’s a Firefox addon, it works on both Linux and Windows. If you’d like to give ScribeFire a try, check out the Getting Started page.

By the way, this post was written using–yes that’s right–ScribeFire.

It’s main feature is that it produces a gray-on-black Cutline instead of the typical black-on-white.

It has a few other personal tweaks, but if all you really care about is the color scheme, then you can simply download the custom.css file instead. Simply replace custom.css in the Cutline theme with the file below.

If not using the WYSIWYG editor, a code snippet with the following format must be inserted into the blog post to include videos:

[portal-id video-id linktext]

The IDs for the different portals can be found beneath.
The ID of the video must be copied from the original URL. This is slightly different for the various video portals, you can find an instruction beneath as well.

The string you choose for the ‘linktext’ part will be included into the linktext below the video. Space characters are permitted.

Example: By typing in ‘[youtube 83FWE2qBudU thing]’ the YouTube video with ID ‘83FWE2qBudU’ is included and below a link to that video with the linktext ‘YouTube direct thing’ (as said before, you can configure the prefix ‘direct’ on the plugin configuration page). You can also skip the ‘thing’ string (eg ‘[youtube 83FWE2qBudU]’), the result will be generated correctly anyway (without any ‘thing’, of course).

If you don’t want any link below the video, just type ‘nolink’ as linktext, eg ‘[youtube 83FWE2qBudU nolink]’.

I’m sorry that there is no link shown for dailymotion videos!
