Again, On Shire Reckoning
January 27, 2007 by Allyn · Leave a Comment
I’ve been asked if my Shire Reckoning WordPress plug-in would ever be available as a WordPress widget.
As of today, it is.
Installation is a snap. Download the .zip file. Extract the file and upload it to your widgets directory. Activate the Shire Widget plug-in. Then on your widget management screen, drag it to your sidebar.
No fuss, no mess, just the current date according to the Hobbit calendar and, occasionally, what happened on that day in Middle-Earth history.

Allyn Gibson has written Star Trek short fiction, such as the groundbreaking "Make-Believe" in Star Trek: Constellations (2006) and the mind-blowing Doctor Who short story, "The Spindle of Necessity" in Short Trips: The Quality of Leadership (2008). He is also the writer for a monthly catalog where he gets to indulge himself in comics and pop culture. After hours, he writes fiction, non-fiction, and weird ramblings on his blog about whatever is on his mind. Now a Baltimorean, Allyn roots long-distance for two long-suffering sports teams: the Chicago Cubs and Hibernian FC; closer to home he roots for the "First in war, first in peace, last in the National League" Washington Nationals, because the Nats need all the help (and all the fans) they can get.
