/* Plugin Name: Distrify Embed Plugin URI: http://support.distrify.com/customer/portal/articles/264106-how-do-i-embed-on-a-wordpress-blog- Description: Extends WordPress's Embeds allowing bloggers to easily embed videos from Distrify. Just go to any Distrify film page or player and copy the URL. Paste that URL in any WordPress blog and it will automatically be converted to an embedded Distrify player. If you are logged in to distrify.com it will automatically add your affiliate tracking code to your embeds. Make sure you turn on Auto-embeds in your WP settings and also make sure that the URL is on its own line and not hyperlinked (clickable when viewing the post). The plugin also extracts the still image from the film and saves it as the Featured Image for the post. This actually works for any Embed (not just Distrify) that you embed into your WordPress blog.

Born and raised in Bulgaria. DENA is the nouveau Hip Hop global flavored project of Berlin-based songwriter and vocalist Denitza Todorova. It sounds (and looks) like she’s set to make a big splash, everywhere. Initially, DENA’s style reminded me of the Beastie Boys meets M.I.A. with a smidgin of Santigold tossed in just to keep things interestingly relevant. I love the way she attacks the mic with faux bravado without pretentiousness, while still maintaining her integrity and originality. This is authentic and fun inducing Hip Hop. Remember, the way it used to be. Let me know what you think. Peace. Continue reading “dena // cash, diamond rings, swimming pools”
