Great Idea For A Plugin
I had this great idea today for a WordPress plugin someone should develop. I’m not a developer, but if you know one, send them the idea and maybe someone can write it. Heck, maybe it already exists…
It could be called the ‘Hey I’m Dead’ plugin. The plugin would once a day check the date of the last published post. If the date of the post was x number of days from today, it would publish a prepared post stating that either the blogger had died or was just not posting at a certain interval. It could even provide a link to the obituary service of the bloggers choice.
Because really, if you kicked the bucket, does anyone have the credentials needed to sign in to you blog and let people know? This is important, peeps. Let’s get this developed.

Well, there is a plugin sorta like that, called “Next of Kin”
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/next-of-kin/
But all it does is send an email to the person of your choice should you kick the bucket (as in, not log into your blog in X amount of days). I guess you could put your login info in said email so that they can go and tell the world that you’re dead.
No, I haven’t installed it yet. Not something I feel like thinking about, yanno?

That’s kind of it.
Well, not really.
But that is a good plugin to leave your login credentials on so that someone can log in if your death is sudden.
Morbid, but really, something everyone should give a little thought to.
