It’s Called WordPress

146 Replies

I’ve been quietly working on a silly project — they’re good to throw into the mix every now and again. It started in the 9rules member forum. A member, deus62, mentioned he was becoming a WordPress convert. I decided to offer my humble opinion and response in a light-hearted country tune. I do hope you enjoy…

It’s Called WordPress from Devin Reams on Vimeo.

Lyrics

Welcome to my story bout my, CMS
It’s an awesome piece of software, it’s called WordPress
It manages my blog, it makes it look real nice
I installed in in 5 minutes, this things slicker than ice
All I had to do, was click on Next
Within seconds I was running, no room to get vexed

It’s called WordPress
It’s my CMS
It’s the best thing to hit the web since porn
The code is open, the source is free
It’s available for people, just like you and me

Once I picked my title and wrote a description,
I clicked on manage, I needed to do so me fixin’
I deleted Hello World, got rid of first comment, too
I clicked on View Site and all I saw was plain blue
I moved to Presentation, there were some nice looking themes
But none fit my style, none screamed Devin Reams

Chorus

After I tweaked the code and played with CSS
I installed myself some plugins, I was real impressed
They organized my archives, they helped me tag, too
Then I installed a spam blocker not a single one came through
I added movie ratings and book ratings as well
Now when people visit me they’ll know that Crank was hell

Chorus

So I made an about page, it got me a stalker
I was thrilled and excited, I wanted to to talk to her
She said she knew my hometown, what I looked like, too
It was mentioned that she loved guys with eyes that were blue
I didn’t mind the attention, decided it was time she had met me
Little did I know, some people named their boys Leslie

Chorus

Now you might be thinking, he plays piano real good
I wish it were true, I sure wish I could
Instead I wrote the lyrics to this nerdy tune,
It was GarageBand provided ballad piano number 2

Chorus x2

Update: Steven Campbell has created a plugin (like the Hello Dolly! plugin) for this song. Check it out!

Update: The song is now available in Japanese!

About Devin Reams

My name is Devin Reams and I founded this site to provide a useful news and review resource for Colorado skiers and snowboarders (and mountain enthusiasts). I've been skiing since I was a little kid (we moved out here when I was five years old) and I plan to ski for years beyond that. Although cosnow is not my full-time job it is my full-time winter hobby. I've been an "Epic Local" passholder since 2006 (when it was called a "Colorado Pass" or "Five Mountain Pass"). My favorite resorts are Beaver Creek and Breckenridge.

    Just.. wow. That was amazing man, that made my day and it is only 1:52am, looks like I’m going to have a rocking day now. This should become the advertisement for WordPress, we need to work on running a TV campaign.

    Devin,

    I put up a post on my “development” blog (see link above) and claimed it as my “present”. :)

    I also used that post to try and embed a viddler video, but somehow – without that rich editor BS – I had to insert all kinds of breaks to display same with some white space top and bottom. I suck at this kind of stuff, really.

    As I said before, I’m learning WordPress. Still love it and once I figured out everything, I’ll clean up the post code (maybe).

    Cheers!

    Volkher (deus62)

    Thanks, Art. Thanks, Amy.

    I think I explained the “tune” in the last part of the lyrics. In fact, I’m quite certain I spelled it out both there and in the credits.

    Wow, I need to be glassed? All five glasses? I’m honored.

    I’ve found a lot of my themes through Alex King’s competitions. There are plenty of big lists of themes. It’s just taking the time to sit and make your way through them and find one that fits you. Of course, if you’ve got some CSS/PHP skills you can make some themes become your own.
