I found a link today for some new and updated WordPress plug-ins and figured that I should try some out. I found one that would support my New Year’s Resolution; I am trying to read more books this year. I recently finished the Blink book, and am now moving on to the Think! book. The “I am reading” plug-in is kind of cool. It hooks up to the Amazon Web Services and pulls back information based on the ISBN number. Additionally, you can enter what page you are currently reading and the plug-in creates a progress bar under the image of the book cover. Probably more pain than it is worth, but I’m looking at it as a motivator…. I need to keep reading or the progress bar will never move!
On a side note, if you have not read either of the these books, I highly recommend them. Blink was very easy to read and thought provoking. It really makes you think about how people are conditioned to think and make decisions; sometimes, not the best ones!
