Helping You Rock Out Your Site Like A Rockstar!

HookPress is a plugin that allows create POST webbooks to publish material or send push notifications to other sites, like making your own Twitter Tools without the plugin itself. So, in a way, you are just about making your own plugin. You can use PHP, Python, Perl or any code language.

You can use it to can take the content through WordPress filters and publish it in a unique way. Michael Yoshitaka Erlewine aka Mitcho, created the post and explains more about it in his video, which I embedded below.

The plugin is easy to install and you can one-click install it through your own WordPress admin panel. If you do install it, or have already, feel free to drop by and share your creations. It is very exciting to see how people are using this to make their WordPress-core site more versatile. As for using, based on the video, and using my own hook to try something other then my Twitter Tools plugin (which means I when I went to publish, I had to click the ‘no’ to publish to Twitter with Twitter Tools), it was also quite easy to get working. Once I published my first tweet with this, I actually got a bit giddy at the prospect that I could do things I normally do with plugins the countless plugins I have installed in the past.

By the way, I think Twitter Tools is great. I just like trying new things. You cannot always rely on plugins, but not all of use are super code ninjas, so they help a ton. However, this alternative way uses what you already have without loading more files to your webspace for plugins and calling any unnecessary functions.

Have you installed HookPress? If so, have you used it?
