Original Post:
I have been looking forward to writing a plugin for wordpress for a long time and finally got the chance today. WordPress is a super cool publishing platform and the “de-facto” blogging solution in today’s internet. The extendibility of WP makes it even more acceptable to users like me who has the necessary skills to extend it the way I want
I have never worked with the WordPress Codex before. I am a freelance programmer and do some projects at different free lancing sites like ScriptLace and GAF. I have seen the GAF API before but never felt much interested until recently GAF Affiliates program started making money for me Now that I am banned in Google Adsense, the alternative advertising solutions are not that good and over all I write programming related posts on my blog, it would be a good idea to start the affiliate marketing on my blog, I thought!
I published scriptlance rss feeds in my blog sidebar before but that didn’t help much. So, I started looking for a better way to integrate my affiliate links into my blog posts. The best way around was to insert the affiliate links directly into my blog either by editing the template or by writing a dedicated plugin for the purpose. I already had some desires to write WP plugins so I moved that way. I spent about an hour on the WordPress Codex pages searching for informations. It was easier than I thought.
It took around 30 minutes to bundle everything and finalize the plugin. I quickly set it up and tested on my site. It’s working!
