Panoramic Slider Block
Gutenberg-compatible block for ultra-wide images with horizontal scroll, drag-to-scroll, arrows, mobile swipe, adjustable height, rounded corners, and optional scrollbar.
Just playing around with a simple plugin to add a content block feature for WordPress.
I personally take a lot of panoramic photos on my phone, you know the kind: big, ultrawide images in “pano” mode. When I upload them to my blog they are either cropped or shrunk so small that they are not especially impressive to display.
My solution was a simple horizontally scrolling image. The block displays a properly proportioned image as set by the fixed image height in the editor, except the overflow disappears into the magical void that is the margin of your content width.
Using the buttons, scrollbar or a finger on mobile, the user can scroll the image back and forth, left to right, allowing a simple but effective sharing of images in a more enjoyable resolution.

Sheet Music Librarian
Simplifies creation of content types and taxonomies to create and organize sheet music libraries to provide access to members.
Cosmic Lullaby
As the volunteer in charge of managing our online member music library where musicians can download their sheet music, it’s a chore keeping things organized all season. I built this plugin to simplify the task.
It simplifies managing files on the back end and creates interactive filters on the front.

BLUEdon Queue
Half of the effort of writing a blog is promotion. I struggled to find a plugin that would help me post with the customization options I liked to the social platforms I use.
BLUEsky and mastaDON are the two social feeds where open APIs allow for interesting posting options. Bluedon Queue has evolved over many months to allow automated queuing of new and historical posts, and generally managing a multifunctional scheduled posting platform on the back end of your WordPress installation.
Features include:
- Auto queuing new posts
- Reviving old posts to the queue
- Seeded, randomized schedules
- Free-text post queuing with images and links
- Autogeneration of hashtags from metadata
- Robust logging and settings
- No paywalls

LiteratuRE CiTAtions
Academic-style citations are not the normal approach for blogs, of course. Most sites simply add links. But I wanted to have a compiled list of references and a kind of formalized bibliography as I wrote posts and tried to build a larger collection of ideas around multiple short essays.
Literature citations strives to allow users to build a collection of citations for a blog. Features include:
- multiple citation styles and primary source types
- shortcodes to insert references as superscript numbered references directly into post text
- auto generation of citation list on the bottom of a post
- shortcode for a full bibliography for display on a page or post
- backlinks from bibliography to reference post(s)
I have a live sample of this plugin in action on my blog Of Poets & Processors.
