A few weeks ago we mentioned that Sony had contributed WordPress plugins to the community which they had originally developed for the official PlayStation.Blog.
A few more details about these plugins and the overall project were just posted by cnp_studio, the very talented lead development firm that built the PlayStation blog:
A few highlights from this innovative project include :
Plugins We Used
The great thing about WordPress and the community behind it is that in most instances if you want to do something, someone has already created a plugin for that. In our case we have quite a few plugins at work on the PS Blog including:
* Audio Player – Enjoy those soundtrack posts
* WordPress Download Monitor – Helps us track the number of downloads on the PS Blog Widgets.
and
Plugins We Developed
Sometimes you need something and there isn’t a plugin for it. No problem, you develop a plugin to fill that need. What’s really great is when you have a group like the guys at Sony Computer Entertainment America (SCEA) who want to contribute back to the WordPress community and then release these plugins back for others:
Lots of other good info to digest – so I highly recommend heading over to the cnp_studio blog to read the full details.
