Book References

by D'Arcy Norman on October 8, 2008

If you’re writing a blog post that references a book, we’ve got a plugin installed that will automatically grab an image of the book cover, as well as publishing data (and links to library sources for the book). All you need to provide is the ISBN of the book, and include it in your post using a square brackets hunk of text like this:

Which will result in an automagically embedded book reference, like this:

Technopoly
Neil Postman; Vintage Books 1993

It’ll wrap, so you can start blabbing about the book, and it will look all nice and perfessunal, without having to do any extra work or figuring out any of those wacky angle bracket html doowackies.

If you’re into book learnin’, give this one a whirl.
