My friend and 3D guru Ronan Zeegers needed a new website since he was still using good-ol-static-html !
I just took some time to migrate his content to a WordPress setup, and to translate the “portfolio” design he wanted into a simple WP theme.
Loops ‘n Slides is a simple yet powerful free plugin that allows you to build posts loops based on custom queries, and display them using a shortcode; eventually as a carousel of slides.
Optionally, it will display your image galleries as carousels.

The website of Labokube, which is the co-working where I work.
Before that, we only had a Facebook page, making a website helped us to introduce better to the world.
I created the WP plugin Loops ‘n Slides to embed carousels on this website, alongside with a custom WP theme.
WP Soundsystem is a complete solution to manage music in WordPress.
Create, import or manage tracklists and tracks, load them in our audio player, connect to popular music services, and more !
Several new post types will be available : Playlists, Radios, Artists, Albums, Tracks and Tracks Links.
Creating and editing playlists is a piece of cake (not to mention the Tracklist Importer):
Add or remove tracks on the fly, reorder them, favorite a track or a tracklist, export…
When editing a track, you can query details from music services like MusicBrainz (The Open Music Encyclopedia) or Spotify.
Tracks can be favorited by your users frontend, or added to any new playlist on-the-fly.
You can attach a bunch of links to any track; including links that can stream audio (Youtube, Soundcloud, audio files…) directly to our player!
If you don’t attach links to your track manually, you can enable our autolink module.
It will search for remote links and attach them to your tracks automatically.
Radios are how we call live playlists.
Those playlists are synced with remote webpages or services (a Spotify URL, a XSPF file, etc.),, and are refreshing seamlessly after a user-defined delay.
Check some radios on Spiff Radio
Import XSPF playlists using the Tracklist Importer.
If you have an API key, you could also import playlists from various services: Last.fm, Spotify, SoundCloud, Deezer, Musicbrainz, Radionomy, Hypem, 8tracks, BBC, indieshuffle, Online Radio Box, radio.fr, RadioKing, Reddit, SomaFM, Soundsgood,…
Custom setups are also available, if you are somewhat familiar with CSS Selectors.
Frontend Importer on Spiff Radio
Our player uses of the MediaElement.js library, which is native in WordPress. It supports audio (& video) files, but also links from various services like Youtube or Soundcloud.
It has been extended with various features built on top of it, like a tracks queue or a Last.fm scrobbler.
In addition of being able to scrobble on Last.fm, every track favorited by a user connected to his account will also be loved on that service.
Users profiles will get a new music section that lists the user favorite tracks, tracklists, and the ones he created.
It will also fire new BuddyPress activity items.
See the FAQ on Github.

As a teenager, Tim Burton was my favorite director.
I used to stroll on a forum that was dedicated to him, but its websmaster decided to stop the work and asked me if I wanted to take it over.
So I bought the domain tim-burton.net, found some folks to help me as editors, and managed the website during ten years (2000-2010).
Most of my coding skills were learnt at that time : I learnt PHP, then later I did migrate the website to a WordPress setup.
Once I was tired of it, I gave the domain and the website to the “new generation”.
tim-burton.net is still active and is so well structured that it is now (legally) an organisation. There is a lot of traffic on it.
