Use PHP to show off your blog!
Alright a small project I have been tinkering around with has been utilizing PHP's GD2 library and incorporating it with my little blog type site.
I have managed to create a dynamic image that will show the 3 most recent post entries from this site: www.tingram.ca.
I do this as a test to see what type of traffic I can bring to my site with showing off what my last 3 posts have been. I have personally not seen something like this and though it could be useful to anyone out there who uses a blog.
I am also working on making it function with Wordpress. It will allow people who run their own blog via the Wordpress software to display their last 3 posts that they have published. It will only consist of 1 file that you could then link to via the image tag of your favorite Forum software (like bbcode) and have it neatly display it in your signature.
This is what it currently looks like:
I can also change the colors of the text and background. The font is also TrueType and must reside in the same directory as the executing script.
If you are interested in such a script please feel free to post your comments below and I will see what I can do about it.
The only requirements that this little script has is that your webserver/webhost has PHP 4.3.* and above as well as the GD2 Library.
