„Freiheit oder Tod“
What the heck you might think…this plugin is representing your interests…mmmh…still strange, eh?

Sure! A blog software like wordpress is made for publishing anything that’s of your interest but sometimes your knowledge is simple not enough to publish quality content so there is no plausible way to publish what you think is of your interest but anything that’s in your mind could be of some interest at least for the google indexing bot.

This plugin creates a badge which you can place anywhere on your blog and which rotates your random interests via jquery. But that’s just an example of how you can represent your interests.

Technically your interests are just wordpress posts but people wouldn’t understand your “interests” as a post because they’d expect more or less quality content, something you can explain or have more info about for.

So, an example would be a programming language you are interested in but don’t know enough to write rich posts about or you simply have no intention to write about in a post!…so you create a random interest entry where you post anything you know already. No one really expect quality content there but somebody will find it useful (at least google).

Just take my scala “random” interest as an example: http://schipplock.de/interests/scala/

When you browse this interest, it wouldn’t really qualify as a post because I do frequent updates to it and no one would realize/understand it but someone who search for “scala traits” and find this “interest” will find it useful even without any explanation :) .

Try it, it can be really useful for your wordpress blog :) .
