Well, I finally did it. I went out and bought nikkiblight.com (and nikkilynnblight.com for good measure). Kind of jumping on the bandwagon, I guess, but I figured why not? 🙂

Redirecting QR Codes
A little experiment I created, since my employer has an interest in QR Codes. My new QR Redirect Plugin lets you redirect a WordPress permalink anywhere you want, and never have to update the QR code that points at it.
WordPress Plugin – QR Redirect
QR Code Redirect lets you set up your own QR Code redirection site. The plugin creates a new custom post type called QR Redirect, which generates a QR code that points to the post’s permalink. You may then specify any URL you like for the post to redirect to.
