Not much to see here, I just wanted to point you to my latest community contribution: ap_shortcodes.js. It is a drop-in JavaScript solution for easily formatting your actual play reports with custom BBCode/WordPress-style “shortcodes”, such as [story] to wrap your narrative elements, that get replaced out with HTML+CSS to consistently style them across your site. Check it out at the link, and also check out the GitHub project, where you can contribute code or to the Wiki (or, dare I say, report bugs).

I don’t actually use it to format my posts here, but I do basically the same thing with WordPress plugins — the main difference being JavaScript runs in your browser, while the WordPress plugins are PHP programs that run on the server. Inspired by members of the LoneWolf G+ community, I decided to see how I could help out and this seemed like a neat way to universally share it across any blogging platform or type of website. I hope you find it useful for your site!

Wisps of Time is the intersection of my passions for games, family, writing, and the web — a place where I can explore these topics for my own enjoyment and share them with you. When it comes to our interests, it’s not about “having” time, it’s about making time. I hope I can help you to make time for these things in your life, too.
