Airdrie Media Posts for Bluesky

(this rather clumsy name was WordPress’ suggestion, to avoid possible confusion that this may be an official Bluesky product, which it is not.)

This is a brand-new plugin that is definitely version 1 right now. I plan to build out functionality over the next several weeks to months. Feel free to contact me with feature suggestions.

You can set the limit to the number of posts shown using the “limit” parameter. For example: [bluesky-posts limit=3] to limit the number of posts to three.

More information on how to use the plugin will be posted shortly.

The Shortcode

The shortcode to activate posts is [bluesky-posts]. If you have configured the plugin with your user ID and your App password, and if you are happy with the default configuration, that is all you have to do!

Shortcode Parameters

There are several parameters that you can include with your shortcode. All are optional. The parameters are:

• • limit. You can set the limit to the number of posts shown using the “limit” parameter. For example: [bluesky-posts limit=3] to limit the number of posts to three.
  • username and apppwd. You can override the user name and password in the admin settings by passing them explicitly as parameters in the shortcode. This is useful if you want to use the shortcode more than once on a site (or a page) and want to pull different feeds in each instance. If you supply one of these parameters, it makes sense to supply both. If only one is supplied, the plugin will fall back to the settings values for the missing information.
