New WordPress plugin: LinkedIn SC

After looking at various wordpress plugins (LinkedIn Resume and LinkedIn hResume) to allow me to display my resume, coming from LinkedIn, on my website, I decided to create my own plugin, LinkedIn SC.

Why ?

Both LinkedIn Resume and LinkedIn hResume do not actually allow you to customize the HTML of your LinkedIn profile. They basically take the HTML of LinkedIn “as is” and it’s your job to customize it using CSS only. I needed something more flexible…

How ?

The SC in the name LinkedIn SC means ShortCode. LinkedIn SC basically parses your linkedIn profile and creates a lot of shortcodes (which you will find in the documentation of the plugin) which allows you to display the elements of your linkedIn CV however you wish, using the HTML you want to use. In order to parse your linkedIn profile, it uses the LinkedIn profile library.
