Nick, that plug-in is brilliant! Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. I’ve been looked for something like this for a while but couldn’t find anything when searching within plug-ins.

“Honestly, I don’t think this is a widely-needed feature.”

Justin, my apologies for posting it here but I saw it as an area where I’d like to see “experimentation” and development in WordPress because I see it as a basic need (especially for an an end user who wants to migrate off a social network to maintain and own their own content but also maintain a similar easy workflow).

But most developer focused WordPress sites that I’ve visited and raised things like this, pretty much respond in the same way. They don’t see a need for features (from a developer’s perspective) that to me are basic needs for an end user. For example, when I told my wife about this lack of basic feature on WordPress (that most social networks have), she thought it was crazy.

Another quick example of developers not seeing what’s essential to an end user is quote blocks. The basic quote blocks within most WordPress Themes have been stylized to have default font sizes equivalent to something that you’d use with a larger pull quote. So font sizes that are way, way too large for quotes. The developers I’ve mentioned this to, think I’m strange for raising such a point. Yet if you’re an end user who does research, often sharing quotes from your research, this is completely frustrating thing to encounter in theme after theme. Like try going to a website like Brain Pickings and dramatically increase the quote fonts sizes. Again it looks absurd but no one seems to care about end users encountering these basic issues when using WordPress.

Again, sorry for deviation.
