Queen Inspirations

While writing your blog, sometimes you may need a little extra inspiration. For me, Queen songs are perfect for that. Queen Inspirations displays a random song by Queen, Freddie Mercury, Brian May or Roger Taylor in the upper-right area of the WordPress admin. The song title links directly to YouTube search results for that track. There are no settings to configure. Activate the plugin and enjoy. Translations are managed through the official WordPress.org translation system.

Automatic installation

1. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Search for "Queen Inspirations".
3. Click "Install Now", then activate the plugin.

Manual installation

1. Upload the queen-inspirations directory to /wp-content/plugins/.
2. Activate Queen Inspirations through the Plugins screen in WordPress.
3. That's all. Have fun!
